LATISSE UPDATE: again

I am still using the Latisse most days. Since its been 6 months since I started I wanted to let you all know that the length is DEFINITELY remarkable. The thickness and darkness are no different than before. I had hopes for the  thickness but at least they're longer. They also seem to curl better and the curl stays a little better than before.  I still use as much mascara unfortunately but it looks infinitely better.

FINALLY: The Latisse Review

I finally finished my 16 week long term project. And it was worth it. I definitely plan to keep using it, because my lashes hold a curl better than ever, and when I put mascara on they are even better. In fact, I am still using the first bottle, I ran out of brushes a while ago, but I am using a thin eyeliner brush and washing it each night. I got a refill with brushes and liquid but I didn't want to bust those out just yet since I still have the juice left.

Latisse Update:

I got my first "comment" on the lashes today so this stuff might just be working. I am just at the 11 week mark. With mascara they look great, though mostly length not so much thickness yet.  I am still on my first bottle. I ran out of brushes this week and ended up going to Sally's and buying some disposable lip brushes which were seriously the same thing except not in "sterile" packaging. They're covered tips or whatever though.  I need to take a photo on Monday for 12 weeks. I might have forgotten the 8week photo...

Latisse Update approx 6 week mark...

I think this weekend was the first time I really noticed any sort of a difference. It seems that there is a bit of a change in length but definitely not yet in thickness at all. But they do seem to stay curled better when I curl them and put on mascara where they did not do well before.

Latisse--one month in.

I am taking photos as I go, really planning for some photos every 4ish weeks.

So far I have been using this for about a month. I don't see any difference yet, tho I have missed a few doses sporadically.  I know it's a bit early for any results but I had hope.

LATISSE aka the beginnings of a lengthy review.

Today at my yearly dermatologist appointment (or should I say, full scale inspection that should have resulted in a lovely dinner!) I asked about Latisse. I have been reading about it on blogs, in mags, on forums, and obviously seeing Brooke Shields and Claire Danes in the ads hasn't hurt either. I only hesitated because I was concerned about eye color change. I like the color of my eyes so adding more brown isn't really appealing, but I figured if that happened I would quit using it.

So I called the pharmacies around town before filling it, on the recommendation of the doctor and nurse practitioner, and ended up just settling at CVS. Regularly priced, it's $98 at Walmart, but I'd rather pay more than enter the gates of hell, Target didn't have it in stock to give me a price, CVS was $115 and Walgreens was $119. I went with CVS, and was smart enough to get a coupon from the Latisse website for $20 off. So vanity is not cheap. I really hoped this product would help me get darker, denser lashes so that my morning mascara routine could maybe be cut in half. It seriously takes like 10-15 each morning just to do my mascara. Which is ludicrous. But we'll see.

I will try to take pics as I go. And hopefully at the end can show a series.

Stay tuned!
