Everywhere you look eyelashes are getting longer and thicker with the growing popularity of eyelash extensions. My lashes are naturally on the longer side, but I wanted to get more length and fullness. While a lot of eyelash extensions look great (and some like cartoon characters), I have heard of bad experiences including eye irritation and damage of natural lashes. The cost for extensions is no joke at $150 bucks per set with required refills every few weeks.
Not liking the risks and cost associated with eyelash extensions, I decided to give Latisse a whirl. To get Latisse, it requires a prescription by a medical professional. I opted to use an online service and had a positive experience with SkinSolutions.MD. A 10-week supply, cost around $130. An MD reviews your driver’s license and photos you upload of your face, then fulfills the order and it ships out to you. The entire process took about 10 days from order to receiving.
I’ve now used the product for the full 10 weeks and am happy to share my before and after photos with you. I am definitely going to continue with the product but will get it from my local medical spa as I like to support their business. See below for my great results and what the application process entails.
The growth process is slow, considering it takes 10 weeks to get these results versus the instant results provided by lash extensions. I do like that the results are natural and you can see my lashes are not only longer, but also darker and thicker.
A few caveats are that you must continue to use Latisse at least every other day to maintain these results. I did not experience any eye pain, headaches, redness, itchiness or irritation. Overall, I highly recommend and am delighted with the natural results, cost and easy application.
