How Much Are Eyelash Extensions?

December 14, 2011 By admin

How much are eyelash extensions? Can you afford their upfront and maintenance cost? For the sake of those long and thick eyelashes, some people (especially the celebrities) seem to think so. Let’s take a deeper look at how much (or how little depending on the size of your wallet) these eyelash extensions will eat at your budget every year.

How much are eyelash extensions? Are they worth the cost?

But first let me tell you something about them. Eyelash Extensions are semi-permanent strands (just a little heavier than your natural lashes). They are available in silk, synthetic mink, genuine Siberian mink and in different colors. They can be applied by Licensed Estheticians or doctors. Eyelash Extensions last around 2-3 weeks or sometimes with your natural lashes’ growth cycle. Each strand is attached or glued into the individual natural lashes’ strand. They also come in different lenghts so you have the option to have extraordinarily long eyelashes or lash strands that are somewhat closer to your natural ones. Because of the glue or adhesive used on the eyelash extensions, mascara application is not recommended. It may actually cause the adhesive to break down leaving you a disastrous looking lashes. Eyelash extensions’ application mostly takes 1.5 to 2 hours depending on how many strands you want attached in each eye.

How much are eyelash extensions’ initial applications?

If you happen to be in United Kingdom, the initial application cost lies from 100 to 150 pounds and the maintenance costs between 50 and 60 pounds per month. In the US, eyelash extensions initial filling costs approximately $250 to $500 and the maintenance is priced between $75 and $120.

Now, let’s do the math. If you’re in UK, you’ll spend at most 870 pounds annualy. In the US however, you can consume as much as $1940 per year. These are all based on the fact that you only need a monthly upkeep (and that you’ve decided to live with these extensions for a year). If you consider yourself a high-maintenance girl, then you won’t really be affected by these figures. But if you’re like me, a budget-conscious housewife who manages to pamper myself only once a year, these costs are rather expensive. These are more expensive compared to using a mascara or an eyelash growth enhancing mascara. Using an eyelash growth serum is another thing. Let’s say you happen to use Li Lash (see price on Ebay or Amazon), you get to spend around $80 to $120 on a tube without really knowing if it’s going to work or not. Nevertheless, eyelash extensions is still more pricey than using the growth serum.

How much are eyelash extensions’ removal procedures?

Wait, what? Why would I need a removal procedure? Shouldn’t I just wait for all of them to fall out until my lashes are all new and natural once again? According to my research, you might not be able to preserve your natural lashes if you’re going to remove the eyelash extensions on your own because of the glue. You might actually end up with bald eyelids. And I know you don’t want that. So how much are eyelash extensions’ removal procedures? They mostly cost around $75 per eye. Now, go ahead and add that up to your estimated “eyelash extensions project” cost. Do you have a clearer idea of how much these eyelash extensions will cost you now?

I really hope my article has answered your “how much are eyelash extensions” question.

Eyelash Extensions Reviews: What Do They Have to Say?

December 13, 2011 By admin

I’ve been contemplating over whether I should or shouldn’t try eyelash extensions for 4 days now so I made use of the eyelash extensions reviews on the web to help me come to a decision. I have a rather unimpressive eyelashes (they are nonexistent as far as I’m concerned) that’s why I’m drawn to products that could enhance my eyelashes. But I’m also a “chicken” when it comes to trying out new products/cosmetics (I’ve only used mascara to flatter them so far) that’s why you’ll always find me scouring over reviews and evidence photos like these eyelash extensions photos and LiLash before and after pictures.

Anyway, I have a wedding to attend to next week and I want to do myself a favor by trying to feel like a celebrity (as if I can afford these eyelash extensions filling and maintenance cost). There are several truthful eyelash extensions reviews from personal bloggers like me (unfortunately , I can’t use their photos) and they really helped me a lot in considering what I should (or should not) do with my lashes.

Here are what these eyelash extensions reviews have to say.

: eyelash extensions in different lengths and the effect on your lashes

Eyelash Extensions Reviews: Advantages

You’ll have instantly longer and thicker lashes (no need to wait for 4 to 6 weeks if you use an eyelash growth serum like the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Serum)
The fact that you’re having fake strands among the natural lash strands is not noticeable (unless you make it known to everyone you encounter).
Make up is applied in a shorter time because you won’t have to curl your eyelashes and then put on several coats of mascara (and when they get smudged, you repeat the process).
Better yet, you can get away without having to put any make up on. Your eyes will steal the show anyway.

Eyelash Extensions Reviews: Disadvantages

The filling process of the eyelash extensions cost around $250 to $500 per eye while its touch ups every 4 weeks approximately cost $75 per eye. (Now let’s compare it to Li Lash here on Ebay or Amazon, or Rimmel in Ebay or Amazon, shall we?)
A special kind of glue is used to attach those extensions on your natural lashes and removing its dried residual around your eyes is PAINFUL.
You can’t rub your eyes, not even unconsciously for a very obvious reason (something all eyelash extensions reviews all agree on).
You can’t use oil-based products near them (one eyelash extensions reviewer even said that since she got them even washing her face became a lot of work because she needed to make sure that no trace of facial wash gets into her eyes.
The only remover you’re allowed to use for your eye make up is something like the Maybelline Expert Eyes (so high maintenance?)
You can’t use mascara on your eyelash extensions-filled lashes (not that you really need mascara with eyelash extensions on your eyes)

All right, I can go on and on with the eyelash extensions reviews’ rants of how inconvenient they are when it comes to maintenance and your pocket. However what these eyelash extensions reviews are telling me is that if I want to feel like a celebrity for an instant, I should go ahead and try these eyelash extensions. But if I don’t want to be troubled by things like initial filling cost, maintenance cost and don’ts, then I should just go ahead and be happy with what I have or find other ways to grow my lashes longer and thicker. These eyelash extensions reviews has surely got me deciding to just stick with my beloved and dependable mascara.

See These Eyelash Extensions Before and After Pictures

December 11, 2011 By admin

One of the things that keep me busy lately besides researching about eyelashes enhancers and ways to grow them is looking at eyelash extensions before and after pictures not to mention oogling at the images of celebrities who also don eyelash extensions. Let’s say, I’m clicking for proof over the premise that eventhough the strands are synthetic, they don’t look “fake” or unnatural at all. It’s amazing how true and natural these eyelash extensions really look. And how unfortunate that I may not be able to afford it for now. (See my last post about eyelash extensions cost to know more about it)

Eyelash extensions can either be put on by a doctor or Licensed Beauty Professional and the cost vary but the results are generally awesome. As usual, I crept and hunted down eyelash extensions before and after pictures on the web and I found so many of them. I was, in fact, having a hard time choosing which of them I’ll include in my article so you’ll also be amazed as well.

But I digress. If you remember my Li Lash before and after pictures, you’ll be more impressed with the kind of change that eyelash extensions can do to your lashes. And If you want to compare costs, look at the price of Li Lash on Ebay or Amazon.

The good thing about eyelash extensions is that after the procedure, you’re 100% sure you’re eyelashes are now thicker and longer (just a bit of waste when a lash or two fall though). With Li Lash and other eyelashes growth serums, you can’t be 100% sure it’s going to work on the expected period. I mean you’ll be left to wonder how long it would take for your lashes to grow their desired length and thickness.

Here are the eyelash extensions before and after images that I gathered on the web.

Kim Kardashian eyelash extensions before and after photos

The Huge Eyelash Extensions Effect

Do you see the drama these eyelash extensions before and after photos bring to your eyelashes? Am I right in saying that you can’t very well identify where the natural lashes end and where the synthetic ones begin?

I’m sorry the last picture has a crappy quality but I just want you to know that those eyes are Kim Kardashian’s. I’m not a fan of Kim but I’m a huge admirer of her eyes and eyelashes (of her whole face actually, she’s beautiful). I think she doesn’t really need a lot of those lashes though, her natural ones are already long and thick. I guess, she wants more DRAMA (pun intended) in her pictures, eh?

Have you experienced dramatic changes in your eyelashes with eyelash extensions? Please do share your own eyelash extensions before and after pictures too.

Eyelash Extensions Cost: Can or Can’t You Afford It?

December 11, 2011 By admin

The search for the best way I can get my lashes to be longer and thicker continues with eyelash extensions –the question, however, is whether or not I can afford the eyelash extensions cost.

: Beyonce and Kim Kardashian can afford the eyelash extensions cost

If I’m a celebrity with a steady flow of projects and sponsors like Beyonce and Kim Kardashian, I won’t even think twice about these eyelash extensions and the corresponding cost. But I’m a commoner with an income I have to budget down to the last cent each month, will succumbing to the desire of possessing amazingly long and thick lashes by having those extensions worth it? Will eyelash extensions cost be reasonable enough for a blogger (who wants to flutter my eyelashes flirtatiously more often than necessary) like me? Join me as I try to find out.

How much do eyelash extensions cost?

First of all, putting on eyelash extensions is a semi-permanent process that involve using an adhesive to make individual synthetic eyelash strand stick to each of your natural lashes. The differences between them and falsies are that falsies come in strips and they are attached on the eyelids which only last for a day. Eyelash extensions last as long as the full cycle of your natural lashes which is around 60 to 90 days (although there are some who experience keeping the extensions for as long as 2 months). In connection to the eyelash growth cycles, there is a recommended “eyelash fills” every to 2 to 4 weeks to fill in those newly grown eyelashes.

Eyelash extensions cost differ from one professional to another but they average between $200 and $500 for the initial filling and between $75 and $120 for the maintenance.

Eyelash Extensions Cost vs Eyelash Growth Serums Cost

There are eyelash growth serums that can help your eyelashes grow naturally and (maybe) permanently. Some well-known eyelash enhancers are Latisse, Rimmel Lash Accelerator, Li Lash and Revitalash. If you visit Li Lash on Ebay and Amazon or Rimmel on Ebay or Amazon, you’ll find out that the average price of these products range from $50 to $140.

The eyelash growth serums cost is less than the eyelash extensions cost but you have to risk the fact that the eyelash growth serums may cause some irrations or worse, may not work at all.

Eyelash Extensions Cost vs Eyelash Growth Enhancing Mascaras

Eyelash growth enhancing mascaras like Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara, Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara and Cargo Eyelash Enhancing Mascara cost around $8 to $36 (Cargo being the most expensive). They boast of eyelash growth as well as the function of a regular mascara.

The cost of these mascaras are cheaper than the eyelash extensions cost. I might want to try this personally. In case these mascaras don’t work, at least I still can use it like my favorite mascara.

I would like to include eyelash implants here too but I’m not really into them and is way too expensive for a common blogger like me. Anyway, I realized that I cannot afford the eyelash extensions cost for now. I would like to consider getting one though (they said the process of putting them on is not traumatic, it’s almost relaxing actually) when I have enough money to spend. But how about you? Can you afford the cost of this procedure? Or are you willing to overlook the eyelash extensions cost and give this process a try?

Eyelash Implants: Would You Prefer This Over Any Eyelash Enhancers?

December 8, 2011 By admin

Would you say "OK" to eyelash implants to achieve these kind of lashes?

I know so little of eyelash implants until today when I was googling my way to this cosmetic trend. Why would people be choosing this procedure over other eyelash enhancement processes like putting on falsies, applying a preferred eyelash growth serum brand (i.e Rimmel, Li Lash, Latisse, Rapid Lash, SmartLash or RevitaLash), or simply using a mascara to make the eyelashes look thicker and longer? I found out that this procedure is more popular in Asian countries like Japan and Korea because of the fact that Asian eyelashes are genetically shorter and thinner. Americans are slowly (but surely) keeping up with the trend as the desire to have longer and lushful eyelashes (and keep them as permanent as possible) increases.

What are eyelash implants?

Eyelash implants are a form of cosmetic surgery (yep, you read it right:SURGERY –going under the knife). Specifically referred to as a transplant surgery, it is a bit risky because it’s done on a very sensitive part or area of your body –the eyes. This an out-patient procedure which is done under local anaesthesia. A good thing because that means you won’t feel any pain while the doctor does the procedure.

How are eyelash implants done?

Eyelash implants are done by transferring 40 to 50 active hair follicles from your scalp to your eyelid. Each strand of hair is plucked individually, then cut off of any excess dermis, epidermis and fat. Each is then implanted to the eyelid carefully. Each hair follicle is embedded to the eyelid in the same direction as your natural lashes or maybe between an angle of 30 and 40 degrees. There’s approximately 95% probablity of follicles survival after the surgery and it usually lasts within one to 3 hours depending. You maybe allowed to go home after 30 minutes of eyelash implants procedure or according to the doctor’s advice.

Results of eyelash implants vary but has an average of 3 to 6 months just like your average hair growth. There’s a tendency for them to be longer and and thicker than your natural lashes so there maybe a need to trim them down.

How much do eyelash implants cost?

For the first time, I considered the eyelash implants “cost” last because I was taken aback by the word “surgery” (one squeamish lady over here). The cost varies from doctor to doctor but according to one site, it commonly costs around $6000, that’s $3000 per eye. Hmmm, a rather expensive way of possesing celebrity-like lashes.

Now, let’s consider the price of Li Lash Eyelash Conditioner here on ebay or amazon, Rimmel lash Accelerator on ebay or amazon, RevitaLash on ebay or amazon. The price ranges from $50 to 140, right? Also, I’ve read that eyelash extensions may cost around $120, not to mention the additional cost for maintenance and the likes. I think, I might just go with eyelash growth mascara or just the regular mascara. I’m not so brave about undergoing a surgery much less undergoing one on my eyes. Although I really want those long and thick lashes, I still think I might resort to the cheaper way of achieving them unless all my eyelashes fall out that is. Maybe then, I’ll consider eyelash implants. How about you? Would you rather have eyelash implants than use any eyelash growth enhancers?

Is There a Thing Called an Eyelash Growth Mascara?

December 8, 2011 By admin

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?

Popular brands of eyelash growth mascara

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?

RevitaLash vs Latisse: Which Eyelash Enhancer Will Work For You?

December 7, 2011 By admin

Hi, Reader! Welcome to another article about eyelash enhancers, this time about “RevitaLash vs Latisse: Which of these two popular eyelash growth products will work best for you?”. I’m a self-declared expert on eyelash growth serums now because I’ve been doing some research about it for almost a month and when you do research for this long, you usually think that you know about the product so much and has an excuse to call yourself an “expert”.

Kidding aside though, I was reading my favorite magazine (yes, I DO still read magazines) this morning, Glamour, when I came across an ad page about Latisse with Claire Danes and Brooke Shields as models with their before and after eyelashes picture. I was not really surprised knowing how popular this particular brand of eyelash enhancer has become and that most doctors trust it because it has FDA approval. And while we’re in the topic of eyelash growth products’ research, I’ve also came across an equally popular brand called RevitaLash. If you happen to be in a dilemma over RevitaLash vs Latisse, let me help you come up with a decision.

RevitaLash vs Latisse

RevitaLash vs Latisse: Cost

Here I am dealing with Revitalash vs Latisse ‘s cost. I’ve made it a practice to tackle this part of the comparison first because as I’ve said, we all should know how much we should expect to spend in exchange of really long, thick and beautiful lashes. If you take a look at RevitaLash on ebay or amazon, it costs around $80 to $140 depending on the seller. Latisse, on the other hand, costs approximately $130. It’s not available on ebay and amazon because it requires a prescription.

RevitaLash vs Latisse: Formulation

Here’s the tricky part on this RevitaLash vs Latisse battle because we can’t all be experts (not even a self-declared) on what kind of formulation really works and what does not. But as a summary RevitaLash, a product from Athena Cosmetics, Inc., was formulated by Michael Brinkenhoff, MD for his wife who was recovering from metastatics breast canser treatments (I’m quoting this from the official RevitaLash site). There are limited write ups about the specific formulation of the product but one key ingredient is called latanoprost which one blogger called “lash-plumbing” drug. This one aids in the growth of the lashes. There are other elements like water, sodium chloride, citric acid, panthenol and more. You may need to look into the RevitaLash package to get the specifics.

Latisse, on one hand, is a prescription drug for hypotrichosis (the abnormality of having little eyelashes). The manufacturers of Latisse is the same company that makes BOTOX (irrelevant information that I needed to include here) called Allergan. The key ingredient of this product is bimatoprost which is a prostaglandin analog (means not really a prostaglandin) that helps control glaucoma progression and also at a prescribed amount can lengthen the eyelashes. Again, Latisse is FDA-approved.

RevitaLash vs Latisse: Effectiveness and Side-Effects

Here’s another tricky part in the continuing RevitaLash vs Latisse competition in this article. RevitaLash is said to work within 3 to 10 weeks while Latisse is claimed to be effective within 4 to 16 weeks. Both should be applied once a day regularly on the upper eyelid, not on the lashes themselves. Both are also not recommended for pregnant women and those undergoing eye-ailment treatments unless approved by the doctor. Some RevitaLash side effects that have been reported were irritation and redness around the eye area, brittleness, drying and breakage of the lashes due to sodium chloride. Latisse’s side effects also are irritation and redness plus darkening around the same area, eyelashes fall out and discoloration. There are also users who added that Latisse took as long as 4 months = 16 weeks for it give the expected results on their lashes not 4 weeks.

RevitaLash vs Latisse: Verdict

RevitaLash and Latisse have almost the same price so there is no competition on this factor. I’m a bit confused about latanoprost (I think I need more research on this one). For this vagueness, I’m putting on extra points on Latisse plus it’s FDA- approval also makes a BIG difference. I’m giving extra points on RevitaLash for majorly making its users happy by delivering the results within its claimed effectiveness period and also because a part of its cost is actually donated to breast cancer research. Which product wins the RevitaLash vs Latisse contest? It’s a draw.

If you want a professional opinion, you shoud visit your doctor and ask for advice on which product to use. If you’re like me, you should go and do more researches and then still ask yourself whether you’re ready to use an eyelash growth serum for the possibility of possessing picture perfect lashes. Better yet, you can research and write your own RevitaLash vs Latisse article so you can declare yourself an “expert” too.

How to Grow Eyelashes That Are Longer and Thicker

December 6, 2011 By admin

I’m going to talk about how to grow eyelashes like a pretentious expert because I’ve always been fascinated with people who possess strong, long and thick eyelashes. When I first meet a person, I automatically look into her eyes not only because they are the mirror to her soul but also because I want to silently scrutinize her eyelashes. I can’t necessarily call it a fetish though, it’s just my natural reaction given the fact that my eyelashes are thin and short. I also enjoy looking at mascara ads and asking how in the world is it even possible to grow eyelashes that long and thick. I found out there are several ways to answer this how-to-grow-eyelashes question.

Women and some men have looked for ways on how to grow eyelashes for centuries. Some do it for the purpose of eye protection (lashes were created to protect the eyes from natural tiny debris by giving them a signal to blink when there’s a threat) and most for the enhancement of their physical beauty. I’ve collated some tips I’ve found on how to grow eyelashes naturally and through the aid of eyelash growth products. Here they are:

How to Grow Eyelashes Naturally

2. Take some vitamin and mineral supplements. Research have proven that calcium, Vitamin B-complexand omega-3 fatty acids can help your lashes grow longer , thicker and stronger. If you’re a bit hesitant about taking in pills, you can always merge these vitamins and minerals in your diet. For example, drink milk instead of coffee in the morning and at night, eat fresh fruits and vegetables like carrots, turnips, lettuce and kale, and also eat fish with omega-3-fatty-acids-rich oil.

3. Apply vitamin E oil on your eyelids is also included in this how to grow eyelashes naturally tips. For stronger lashes you may use lubricants like pretroleum jelly and olive oil on them.

How to Grow Eyelashes using Rimmel

1. Choose the best eyelash growth product. Among the eyelash enhancers that are favorably talked about are Rimmel Eyelash Accelerator, Li Lash Eyelash Conditioner, RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner and Latisse. You have to pick one that has convinced you or you may ask your dermatologist for an advice.

2. Apply this eyelash growth serum with one stroke on your upper eyelid once or twice a day, depending on the specific brand’s instructions. If you want to apply mascara over it, make sure to let the product dry first.

3. Apply this eyelash enhancer regularly for a 6 weeks or so. The consistent application is vital. Don’t go applying it randomly at any day in the 45-day period.

Eyelash Grower: Are You Ready to Try One?

December 6, 2011 By admin

“Beauty is in the EYES of the beholder”, this is an old adage which my mother has frequently used on me long before I realized that my eyelashes need some kind of an eyalash grower to make them just a bit less non-existent. Oh, alright! What I really meant was an eyelash grower to make them all long and thick and fancy like that of my favorite celebrity. My mother didn’t mean it to be literal, of course. There’s wisdom on that adage -one that does not talk about me having great eyes with amazingly long and thick lashes. But for the sake of this article, please allow me to take it literally.

eyelash grower for longer and thicker lashes like your younger self

Why do I think I need an eyelash grower?

I had a childhood Bff who possesses the most beautiful eyes with the thickest and longest eyelashes (no exaggeration here) without the help of an eyelash grower like Rimmel Lash Accelerator or Li Lash Eye Conditioner. Do you realize how lucky she is? It means she never had to check for Rimmel on ebay or amazon to get a good deal on an eyelash grower’s price (some of them are really expensive). She didn’t need to browse the internet for the best eyelash grower in town like Li Lash or RevitaLash. Her eyelashes won’t be at the mercy of an eyelash grower that may or may not work. She will never be as fascinated as I am to this little wonder of a beauty invention.

Anyway, Bff has always used it as a weapon for attracting guys which for me is such a waste of natural beauty because eyelashes like hers are more for fighting away these little irritants (hello, tiny bugs) on air so they won’t get inside your eyes and render you helpless with itchiness and pain. She never realized that certain kind of logic at all. She has always been named as “the girl with the beautiful eyes” and though I wasn’t exactly referred to as the “girl with the bald eyes”, I still got childishly jealous. So when I heard about the availability of an eyelash grower (there are many of them to choose from), I was so happy.

What do I know about an eyelash grower?

For those who haven’t heard about an eyelash grower yet, this is in the form of serum which contains elements like polypeptides, vitamins and minerals to enhance the growth of your lashes. It usually come in mascara-like tubes with applicator and are applied on the upper eyelids (not on the actual lashes please), just right at the base of those lashes. You may apply it once or twice a day for 4 to 6 weeks, according to the eyelash grower brand’s indication. It maybe carried by cosmetic brands like Rimmel, Athena Cosmetics, Inc., MAC, etc. Eyelash grower could possibly be my eyelashes’ little wonder serum.

Am I ready to try an eyelash grower?

Honestly though, I have long overcome any jealousy for people with naturally long and thick lashes. After all there are some people who desire to grow their lashes for more than just the aesthetic reasons. Sometimes, they do it because they need to have these lashes regrown after a series of cancer treatments which have caused their lashes to be flaky and weak. I consider myself desiring those long and thick lashes for similar reasons as theirs. But please don’t get me wrong here, I don’t want to sound presumptuous because there’s no way I can compare my eyelashes struggles with their struggles. The point is that we can all be thankful to these eyelash enhancers (to the good ones that really work without making your eyes suffer) because they are giving us (the less-endowed ones) the hope to grow longer and thicker lashes. Although I’m not exactly a risk-taker when it comes to using beauty products (my boldest move was trying on a red lipstick), I may consider using one after I’ve taken all things in consideration like cost, safety and effectiveness of an eyelash grower . This is my eye story and possibly the start of my eyelash grower usage story. How about you? Are you ready to try an eyalash grower now?

Things You Should Consider When Choosing an Eyelash Enhancer

December 4, 2011 By admin

Eyelash Enhancers

Are you planning to revamp your image or get those picture perfect long and thick lashes by using an eyelash enhancer? Do you want to get those younger-self-extraordinarily-long-and-dense eyelashes back, the very lashes which for some unfortunate reasons like aging and potent treatments have started falling off? Do you want to get into the holiday cheer by saying goodbye to the complicated way of putting on false eyelashes everytime you want to have your eyes emphasized?

Do I sound like a lame eyelash enhancer ad yet? I think so too. But I’m not trying to have you buy a certain eyelash enhancer brand here. What I’m trying to do is help you (I hope) look for the important points in choosing the best eyelash enhancer. Because let’s admit it, if you love yourself then you want nothing more than to give it the best product, in this case, the eyelash enhancer your eyes deserve. So where shall I start?

Cost of the Eyelash Enhancer

Cost should always be first on the list not because I’m thinking you’re a cheapskate but because I think you should know what to expect when you’ve finally decided to enhance those lashes. The eyelash growth serums that have been having a buzz lately are Li Lash Eyelash Conditioner, RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner, Marini Lash, Latisse, SmartLash, RapidLash and Rimmel Lash. There are a lot more of them out there, believe me, so it’s possible that I may have not covered all the good ones. But the average price of an eyelash enhancer lies between 80 to 140 dollars except for Rimmel Lash which is pretty cheap (in a good way).

You may want to check the cost of Li Lash on ebay or amazon, RevitaLash on ebay or amazon and RapidLash on ebay or amazon.

Formulation and Effectiveness of the Eyelash Enhancer

Now that you have an idea of an eyelash enhancer’s cost (and have saved for it), let’s take a look at the most important factors: ingredients and it’s capability to make your lashes long and thick. I have to put these factors together because they can’t live without the other. I mean the effectiveness of any product or cosmetic depends on the elements present on it, right? Right, so cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies that manufacture eyelash enhancer has made it possible to mix components that are efficient and safe for your lashes and the area around your eyes. Li Lash is known for using ingredients that are natural like the lupinos albus (white lupin) beans extract, prunos amygdalos (almond) while Marini Lash uses non-prostaglandin substances. When eyelash enhancers first surfaced, the key ingredients has always been bimatoprost -a prostaglandin(hormone-like substance). After a few studies though, FDA has issued warning that excess amount of bimatoprost in a product may lower its effectiveness and that there might be side-effects like blurred vision, redness and burning sensation which may lead to blindness. So leading eyelash enhancer brands like SmartLash and RevitaLash got rid of the prostaglandin elements in their products. There are information about the common eyelash enhancers like Li Lash, Rimmel Lash, SmartLash, RevitaLash and RapidLash scattered in this site. You might want to take a look.

Ease of Application and Effectiveness Period of the Eyelash Enhancer

For any beauty and cosmetics tricks or treatments I uphold this motto: “If it’s too complicated to use, leave it to the professionals or never use it at all.” If you choose an eyelash enhancer, at least make sure that you can apply it on your own, at the comforts of your home. It’s not practical if you need to see a doctor everytime you put it on. So consider these things:

Apply product once/twice a day
Has its own applicator
No need for a fan to dry it
Can use mascara over it

Also, the period of effectiveness should just be between 4 to 6 weeks. If it’s longer then it’s not doing a good job and imagine how much money you get to spend to actually see some good results. It’s not a good deal at all.

Now that you’ve considered these factors, have you chosen which eyelash enhancer to use? I hope you’ll be satisfied with it. Let me know, I’ll be happy to hear your eyelash enhancer story.
