There are eyelash growth serums that are formulated just for growing eyelashes (I should know, I’ve written so much about them) but is there even a thing called eyelash growth mascara? Is there actually an eye cosmetic that serves two purposes: a mascara and an eyelash enhancer? Accroding to my research, yes so I’ve become one happier mascara user here.
People (when I say “people”, I mean most celebrities) say that as we grow older, we become more confident. It’s quite true for common people as well because it’s happening to me. And it’s also true that as we age, we realize there are things like hair loss (eyelashes loss for that matter) and wrinkles that we can’t avoid. I can live with having a few wrinkles here and there but I’m not really sure about getting bald or getting as little eyelashes as possible. And since I’m such a mascara lover (I can’t leave the house without putting one on my eyelashes), I’d be more comfortable with an eyelash growth mascara than any other eye product available in the market today.
What’s the difference between an eyelash growth mascara and just a regular mascara?
Obviously, eyelash growth mascara will help you grow your lashes while making them look thicker and darker while the regular mascara only defines those lashes and make them appear longer and thicker. It’s fused with ingredients for eyelash enhancement according to the companies that manufacture this kind of product. Elements like Grow-Lash Complex (which isn’t specifically noted just that grow-lash word) is said to help or complement the growth of your lashes.
What are the popular eyelash growth mascara brands?
Personally, I’ve always been in love with my Maybelline Volum Express Waterproof Mascara but given the fact that there are eyelash growth mascaras out there, I might need to change it. A few brands I’ve encountered while researching for an eyelash growth mascara are Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara, Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara and Cargo Eyelash Growth Enhancing Mascara. Rimmel is modeled by Zooey Deschanel, my favorite actress (so maybe I’ll get a bit bias with this product but wait, Zooey has always had those thick and long lashes,hmmm), Revlon goes in two types: regular and waterproof and is modeled by Jessica Biel (not that products with celeb models really matter or don’t they?) and Cargo boasts of its array of natural ingredients and polypeptides for eyelash growth (the alga Laminaria, anyone?). I have yet to do more research on these products to see which would actually give me the results I want. I mean, it’s going to be a few dollars less than any eyelash growth serums like Li Lash, RevitaLash or Latisse (Note: Price of LiLash on ebay or amazon, Price of RevitaLash on ebay or amazon). See? Do you get what I’m saying? A good eyelash growth serum costs around $80 to $140 plus I still need to have my favorite mascara to put on which costs around $7.5. But if I settle on an eyelash growth mascara, the most I’d get to spend is around $38 (unless there is a more expensive one I haven’t known of yet which, in any case, I won’t settle for because the point here is how I can SAVE and still get great results for my eyelashes). Moreover, an eyelash growth mascara is supposedly easier to apply because you've been applying mascara for several years now, haven't you?
Basically if my research would give the information I need from an eyelash growth mascara, I’d be more than willing to let go of my current mascara and switch to the best particular brand. How about you? Don’t you think using an eyelash growth mascara is more convenient and productive than using just the plain old mascara?
