Long, lush, sultry, fat, look-at-me lashes are what most women strive for when they apply their mascara. There is just something very feminine feeling about lengthy beautiful lashes!! And there has been a slew of new mascaras and lash technology rolling out to the masses to try and give us all false-y looking lashes without the falsies.
So when I was sent a tube of the eyelash growth stimulator, Cilea, for consideration, I was thrilled. Of course the first thing I thought was, “I hope this product ends up making my lashes look Kim Kardashian-like!” Which means I’d like for them to grow long enough to where they almost touch my eyebrows…insert lash inspiration Kim below.
No pressure there for this product huh??! But as you all know from reading my blog, I’m pretty realistic when it comes to beauty products and I would put no such pressure on this product.
Ever since Latisse came out on the market (a prescription lash serum which makes lashes grow) I’ve been really intrigued with the idea of lash enhancement without the use of synthetic falsies and lash glue.
Here was my chance to experience that lash enhancement :
1. without a prescription
2. with no hardcore side effects (I’ve heard horror stories about Latisse burning eyes, itching like crazy, etc)
3. and if I want to buy it for myself, it’s only $69.95- which is 50% less than a Latisse prescription.
Here is what I experienced with this lash stimulator.
- In a 30 day trial of using it every day (ok, maybe I skipped a couple days here and there, but was vigilant for the most part) I would give this stuff a 7 out of 10.
- I don’t have any other lash growth serum to compare it to, but from what I experienced, YES, my lashes did become a bit darker, thicker, and the slightest bit longer.
- To be honest, I would have been a bit freaked out if they had started growing like mad, it just wouldn’t seem right. But I believe this stuff did boost the volume of my natural lashes more than anything.
- I did feel slight itching every now and then around my eyes, but it wasn’t unbearable and was fleeting.
- It was easy to apply, just a swipe across the base of your lash line like you would apply a liquid liner, onto clean makeup free eyes. I used it on the upper and lower lashes every night before hitting my pillow.
- I feel it made more of an impact on my lower lashes than upper.
