Latisse from Allergan for anyone who isn’t familiar with this fairly new product was launched only a few months ago and has made quite a splash in the beauty world. Allergan who develops products for the eyes, as well as Botox, and Juvederm, discovered that the key ingredient, Lumigan in their Glaucoma medicine was making patients lashes grow long and thick. So thick that some of these patients were even trimming their newly thick and long lashes. Imagine that!

Seeing that this was something that they could possibly sell as a product to grow lashes thus began the birth of Latisse. Since it’s big launch the reviews have been nothing short of fantastic. I have pretty good lashes but still wanted to see what would happen if I started using it and after just a few weeks I began to notice that my lashes were not only longer but new lashes were coming in as well. I also decided to put any extra from each application on a bare spot on my eyebrow and to my excitement I have actually started growing brow hair there too!

For anyone who is thinking of trying Latisse you can visit their site and get all of the information you need. Although each bottle comes with enough applicators, I suggest using a very thin eyeliner brush instead to apply to your lashes. The applicators included are course and have the potential to scratch the eye when using. These are my lashes below without any touch-ups and photographed by my son less than 2 hours ago.

Latisse has been FDA approved, and is the first and only prescription treatment to help with sparse lashes to make them longer and fuller. To look at this photo you can really see how well it works.

I have been using the same mascara for evah! Call me a creature of habit but that’s just how I am, so when I heard about this newest mascara from Clinique of course I was more than a little curious to see if it really was that good. Thanks to the wild, wild web you can find reviews about almost anything, and even though some of the reviews weren’t so nice, I still needed to see for myself.

I am using Latisse on my lashes and figured now would be a great time to put High Impact to the eyelash test. So off I went to the Clinique counter at Macy’s where I picked up a tube. I couldn’t wait till I got home and instead ripped open the packaging and swiped on a few coats in the car. My lashes looked good and the length was false eyelash long. The color didn’t smudge and even after a full day of working they still looked just as good.

So there you have it, and at $14 dollars a tube compared to some in the high $20’s and yes ladies, $40’s, I have just added a new favorite to my list.

My sister swears by this product and started using the original lash product years ago when it was first introduced. I have seen her lashes go from barely there to asking her if she has false lashes on. Unfortunately not all of us are blessed with thick, gorgeous lashes and as much as the look of wearing false lashes looks amazing, too much of that can take its toll.

Marini Lash is a Non-prostaglandin Eyelash formulation that contains a Proprietary Peptide as well as other essential ingredients for creating healthy, beautiful lashes.  There have been a lot of other companies who have tried to replicate Jan’s eyelash revitalizer but none have come close.
