There’s plenty of innovation in lashes…do you really need to indulge in recently FDA approved pharmaceutical solution that offers side effects like “eye redness, itchiness or darkening of the eyelids?”
The folks at the drug company said it, not us. Plus, typical results are noticeable in 8 weeks????
So much for instant gratification!
Look before you leap, (your lashes might thank you later) and check out the hottest mascaras to hit the beauty category.
