Quest to Longer Lashes, Part 2

For several years I've had really long lashes thanks to lash enhancers. I've been mainly using Lilash until it all of a sudden stopped working. I don't know what happened, if I got some fake Lilash from Ebay or my lashes just got immune to this growth stuff.
I talked to several other beauty bloggers who I knew had been using Lilash for a few years, and they too had experienced the same thing. So I stopped using it and thought I'd give my lashes a little break.

After growing back my natural lashes I realized exactly HOW SHORT they are! I pile on mascara and they just wont get any longer. I hate it! So, time to get the lashes back to the spidery length ;)

I have lost my faith in Lilash (or at least Lilash purchased from Ebay...), so this time I'm trying out something new and that's Careprost. It's the same thing as Lumigan and Latisse, except this is the generic brand - and a third of the price. It has great reviews on Makeup Alley with lots of before -and after pictures and 142 reviews. My beautiful friend Heidi (check out her You Tube channel: jalapena2007) has been using Latisse for years now too, and her lashes are still long and wonderful!

It comes in a tiny eyedrops bottle and you apply it along the lash line with a little eyeliner pencil every night on clean eyes. As with all of the lash enhancers, you have to be patient and wait about 7-8 weeks before seeing the big change. After 16 weeks you should get maximum length.

I can't wait!!


I bought this from a really sweet girl that I can highly recommend. Click HERE to get to her web store.

Before I show you my embarrassing before pictures, let me remind you how they did once look like with Lilash.. Notice how far past the crease they are.....


And then my sad, sad lashes today.....


























Once you've had super long lashes it's so so hard to get back to this...

Previous posts on my lashes can bee seen here, here, here and here.

Are you using any lash enhancers? If so, what brand? What is your experience with it?
