Anyone tried Latisse?
I have really, really wimpy straight short asian eyelashes.
So, while I was getting laser hair removal done *down there* last Saturday, I was speaking with the tech about latisse. (all the girls at the place had the longest, fullest lashes that I had ever seen!) They had a special going on, so I was able to purchase the bottle for about $80 (which lasts about two months).
Has anyone tried this before? Thoughts?
I've only been using it for less than a week and I'm not supposed to see results until at least 4 weeks or so. I don't want crazy super long lashes, but something a little more fuller and longer would be nice. Once you stop using it, your lashes will return to previous state after a few months or so. Not sure what to think of the whole thing.
Re: Anyone tried Latisse?
ooooh, i'm interested to see how it turns out! i have really long eyelashes but i always want more...i'm a mascara junkie
hmmm, maybe i wanna try it now...
I haven't used latisse or revitalash, but i did use jan marini's eyelash conditioner before the wedding. (i tried eyelash extensions first, and it was horrific - let's just say you get what you pay for! i spent hours that night trying to take them off, pulling out like, half my already sparse lashes in the process. if i were to bring it up now, 2.5 years later, i'm sure MH would still make fun of me about it, haha. i'm still thankful i had the foresight to try it months ahead of the wedding first, which gave my poor lashes a little bit of time to grow in!)
anyhow, i think it made a difference! i was too lazy to keep it up afterwards, so my eyelashes have long since gone back to normal. i've read that jan marini's new formula doesn't work as well as the old one though. i hope the latisse works for you!
eta: $80 a bottle sounds like a good price - i think the jan marini (when i got it) was $130, but at that point, i was willing to pay
I was hoping you'd chime in! When I read the OP, I thought, "hmm, I bet Alix has tried this - I wonder if she liked it?" Now I want to give it a try - I have very long lashes but they're not super thick.

I wouldn't say superficial - just that you're more into fashion and beauty than I am, which I'm glad about because it means I know someone I can ask for advice lol! I feel so helpless about that kind of stuff...I'm about the least stylish person on the planet - I just don't seem to have the eye for it. I don't understand how people can take interesting or unusual pieces and make them look great - I just look like I have no clue what I'm doing (which is pretty much true lol). It's probably why I tend to dress in very basic styles since I feel fairly confident that I can't eff it up.
love.
i wish i was stylish too...<wistfully> though i guess then i'd wish i had the money to fulfill all my stylish aspirations - maybe it's better this way, haha.
