Faking Fake Lashes - 2 Tricks To Try

Not a fake headline, but sounds like one anyway: "Side effects may include amped lashes."

If you're using Lumigan, eye drops used to treat glaucoma, you may have noticed a fuller fringe. Pharmaceutical analysts are saying the ingredients in Lumigan make lashes longer and more voluminous - which means it's being turned into a new lash enhancing product called Latisse.

Being hailed as the next Botox (Srsly! How big are these lashes?), Latisse does have a few side effects of its own, including red, itchy eyes, darkened eyelids, and an empty wallet ($120/month).

If that's too steep, try out lash trend #2: Lash conditioners, like Fusion Beauty's mascara. These enhanced formulas are like toner for eyelashes, making them stronger so that they can grow faster.

Jenny-- As you mentioned, Latisse is an excellent option for those who want longer, fuller lashes. It is also great way to darken the lashes. Something to remember is that Latisse is only available through a prescription which means you'll have to see your local cosmetic dermatologist to make sure that you're an appropriate candidate. Also, results can take weeks to months, but it is well worth the wait (here are some impressive before and after photos: http://www.latisse.com/BeforeandAfter.aspx?state=30)!

$120 a month plus beautiful blood-shot irritated eyes? I think I'll pass.

Alexandra said...

Jenny---who would want to take the time to see a Doctor, get a prescription and suffer nasty side effects? As a working makeup artist, I know long lashes are a longed-for beauty accessory. I recommend "Revitalash". I've used it myself and am more than happy with the way my lashes look. I have quite a few of my clients using it, too. Within about 6-8 weeks, I noticed longer, thicker lashes---especially at the outer corner of the eye, where lashes are typically short and stubby!!! With mascara (MAC's Zoom is my favorite), lashes are show-stopping!!!

Sylvie said...

I am in agreement with Alexandra!! I started using Revitalash after lash extensions destroyed my own lashes... and love it so far. I have noticed a huge improvement in my lashes and feel safe using it becuase it was made by an eye doctor… and there are no nasty side effects!!

Revitalash, JM etc.. all had the active ingredient "Bimatoprost" and due to Patent issues brought by Allergan have reformulated and do not contain the ingredient that made them work.

I use Latisse that contains Bimatoprost. I don't have red eyes or irritation. So why pay for a product like JM or Revitalash that are now missing the KEY component..

Same thing here, My saloon offered me Revitalash eyelash conditioner for my lashes as well and so decided to get one for myself. I commend her because I am certainly amazed with revitalash now. My lashes is now thicker and fuller. I also love their packaging. it's nice. Give a it a try and you'll see.

Hannee said...

i have short and dull lashes. I've been doing a research online on how to with my lashes. I've found on most reviews that revitalash is amazing. And it really works!

Georgina said...

I have tried Latisse too and stopped because it irritated my eyes and my skin. That is when I switched to Revitalash!! And I am so glad I did. With Revitalash, I now have fuller, darker, longer lashes without the side effects..

Norma said...

I've been using Lattise before however when I've found Revitalash which is less expensive, after I emptied the tube for Lattise I started switching to revitalash. The product is working well for me. I prefer going for revitalash because it's cheaper and as I've said, working well for me. I'm buying my 2nd tube this weekend.

katherine said...

Yeah exactly false lashes is really a waste of time putting them individually on your original lashes. I ended up to quit using false lashes when I starting to use the eyelash conditioner by revitalash and it's been working well for me.

Woaah! many of us here are really experiencing how amazing revitalash is. Well to share, I am so thankful to this revitalash eyelash conditioner. It really made by brittle and short lashes to naturally looking fuller, darker and healthier lashes. Great Product.

hannahborgs said...

It's true. I've been using RevitaLash since March. And it really works on my lashes..At first, I just bought the eyelash conditioner..and now, I've been using mascara too. It gives me more stunning eyes.
Many of my friends noticed my fuller & thicker lashes. Thanks to RevitaLash!

nicole said...

WOW..! This is really great. I've been using RevitaLash too, and it works for me. it so good to see many user likes it too.

Oceanne said...

I’ve been to different brands of eyelash enhancers but when I tried Revitalash, it’s where I found satisfaction. See it for yourself on how amazing it is. What I love is the reasonable price.

Ischy said...

I haven't try using Latisse. But I've been using RevitaLash for 6 weeks now, and I noticed that my lashes are getting fuller, thicker and healthier... I'll keep on using this product.

michelle said...

Just wanna share an experience happened last night. I attended my bestfriend's birthday party. And guest we're really appreciated my lashes..They told me that I looked very stunning... And thanks to RevitaLash!

paige said...

Well, Revitalash has been working wonders for me. I just can’t explain how amazing the product is. I really noticed my short and dull lashes changing and ehancing naturally, looking fuller, stronger and darker after 7-8 weeks of using it. And also the main reason why i’m sticking with revitalash is the reasonable price. Not that expensive compared to other brands.

Janet said...

I have been using Revitalash for 3 months now and what I am using is the new formula, and it works. Even though they say that it doesn't have the key ingredient (bimatropost), Revitalash works!! And good thing is I don't have irritations or any side effects experienced.

Nina said...

I’m using Maximumlash Eyelash Conditioner and I’m very much happy for my fantastic lashes now. I tried a number of eyelash conditioners some are good but we can't say which is best for us until we try them. So now I am using maximumlash and so far I love it. No irritations or rashes. Does anyone here also uses it?

Janice said...

Hey Nina, I am using maximumlash also for almost two months now. Yeah you're right, it conditions and make my eyelashes thicker and longer. It's fabulous and affordable. Two thumbs up!!!

Dimple said...

Hey girls! I’m also using Maximumlash Eyelash Conditioner and I’m very much happy for my fantastic lashes now. I’m using it for 3 months now and haven’t experienced any irritation or rashes. Now, I really love my eyelashes. It's amazing! Try it!

how amazing!! I thought only few of us are using revitalash, as I was going over the forum, i felt happy for you ladies. I am also using revitalash eyelash enhancer for almost 2 years now and have been very satisfied with the product.

anina said...

I Love Revitalash, it's a miracle product, having had extentions for awhile I will stick with revitalash.. My eyelash tech is wonderful but after awhile it's hard for your lashes to have glue on them all the time and after a few months I had super short lashes, now they are thick and beautiful. I am in love with this product.

Amazing. Hi! Nikki here, I am okay with latisse however when I overheard about revitalash, I did some research and found out that it's cheaper than latisse then tried revitalash and was kinda satisfied by the time I started using it.

Krissy said...

Yes! I agree with you Krissy! Maximumlash Eyelash Conditioner is unbelievable but true! I really could not believe it, even my friends are starting to notice the difference - i don't use a lot of makeup, but like my eyes to look really good!

Hi there exactly! as I have similar experience with you. I am definitely not switching to a different brand. Revitalash has reasonable price and is capable of producing results we drool for our lashes.

A friend gave me revitalash to try it for mu dull lashes and from then I have been buying the product. It reall gave me satisfaction plus the factor that it has a very reasonable price.

chanda said...

no more fake lashes for me since the day i've used the eyelash conditioner from revitalash just so true....my lashes look so stunning now! so goodbye fake lashes for me...muahhhhhhh revitalash!

Angel said...

Yes! It's now out in the market! Try it! I couldn't be happier! I know the Maximumlash story and if it works for you that’s fantastic but I'm not going to waste the money unless I know it’s going to work! So far so good! Yes, I agree with Angie and other girls using the Maximumlash Eyelash Conditioner, I have definitely seen more growth in the past few weeks than the first couple months I started using Maximumlash Eyelash Conditioner! Love it!

maggie said...

for beautiful looking eyelashes just coat with a mascara and be sure to use revitalash mascara its simply the best!

Melanie said...

Yes Angel, I agree with you! Well, I couldn’t wait to get any other product to try it out. Unfortunately it gave me bad headaches and my eyes swale out like balloons. I have never been sensitive to any product in my whole life, so was really disappointed that this didn’t agree with me but I was so amaze with the eyelash conditioner called Maximumlash! Using any cosmetic enhancer doesn’t work for you to see the result the question is, is it worth the wait? In Maximumlash it’s a yes, because you really can see a result for a couple of weeks of using it and you can proudly recommend this product. . I get compliments too all the time. Just AMAZING!!

Now you can finally get the look of long, lush lashes and shapely brows you've always dreamed of. With Revitalash you can get gorgeous eye reminiscent of old HOllywood without the lash extensions and eyebrow pencils.

No more need for false eyelashes, extensions or irritating fibers.You can get similar looking results for your own natural lashes. Just one application daily and within four to six weeks you will have fuller, thicker and healthier looking lashes. Really very true I can prove it to you......and its only from MaximumLash!

jessie said...

I am a cabin attendant and most of the customers on the crew ship wants to see their cabin attendants with full make-up, no oily greese and beautiful lashes, I wasn't blessed with longer lashes so I made due with plastic extensions, it was really a bummer to keep on putting in on every morning, so I tried Maximumlash out of desperation, and in just 2 short weeks, i already noticed the difference, I love it and I will continue to use Maximumlash.

Mardi said...

MaximumLash really gives fast result. In 4-6 weeks it made my lashes fuller and longer. No other eyelash enhancer has done it in such short time.
