A little expensive but very effective
This product is simply amazing not only for the lashes but also for the eyebrows if you’re missing some hair. I have made my eyebrows grow back really fast and easily!
This product really works. I think maybe after a month I realized that my lashes were longer. The price is a little high. However, I used my product every night and it did last me 3 to 4 months.
WORKS very well. I noticed an improvement in my lashes within the FIRST month of using this product. I used to have very sparse short asian lashes that are so stubborn, but after using this product, it actually makes them grow and noticeable. It should be noted though, that once you stop using the product, your lashes return back to their original state.
I have always wanted to purchase a product like this but I was worried because I didn't think it would make any difference and I didn't want to waste my well earned money. I have very small lashes and usually need to apply like 3 or more layers of dark mascara. I hate it and would love to have longer thicker lashes. I have always been spectical of this product but after reading all these good reviews I might give it a try.
While living in Asia, I had access to the generic version of Latisse (super cheap from an online pharmacy). It was amazing and gave me ridiculously long lashes. Living back in Canada, with no access to said online pharmacy, my lashes reverted back to being meh.
I had always heard that the Rapidlash sold in Canada was not the same as in the US, and did not work as well. But out of desperation, I bought a tube at Costco and decided to give it a try. I have to say that I am impressed. My lashes are not as long as they were with the generic Latisse but they are a nice length now.
I saw results at about 8 weeks, and one tube lasted almost 4 months (used on upper lashes only, did not use on eyebrows).
I've noticed over the last number of years my eyelashes have gotten sparser. Perhaps because I am addicted to my eyelash curler although I try to be gentle. I finally decided to look into an eyelash serum but wasn't willing to spend the $100 bucks so when I saw RapidLash Eyelash Renew Serum at my local Costco for $50 I figured why not. It comes in a mascara type tube with a small eyeliner type brush for application. It dispenses just the right amount. I put it on before bed and voila now part of my beauty routine. I will admit it did take some 4 - 6 weeks before I noticed little baby eyelashes peeking out from between my existing lashes. I also noticed I was not loosing eyelashes as quickly as I used to. Once my eyelashes got to be a bit thicker I started using it every other day. Lasts a good long time.
I have always wanted long Bambi lashes, but being Asian, I have short and straight lashes. I have used tons of different lengthening mascaras, false eyelashes and also lash extensions to get the long Hollywood lashes I so crave. The thing is, mascara doesn't make much of a difference on my puny lashes, false eyelashes are so frustrating to get on, lash extensions are great but expensive and are too high maintenance for me. So my next option was to try to grow my own! I found Rapidlash at Shoppers Drug Mart for $59.99 and decided to try it out. I bought it during the 20x points event so in addition, I got about $10 in points, yay!
I started using this on May 28 and started seeing results at around week 3! It's very easy to use, just apply once a day before bed and its similar to applying liquid eyeliner with a thin brush. My lashes are about 50% longer now after about 4 weeks and I'm looking forward to what my lashes will be like at week 8!
This one is a little controversial right now... it sits on the edge of pharmaceutical. The active ingredients come from a modified version of glaucoma meds and it acts like a drug in that it actually changes the body's function. In this case it fools your body into growing lashes for a longer cycle. Like every hair, your lashes will eventually fall out and be replaced, but the cycle of growth is extended as long as you continue to use this product.
I was very hesitant to use this because a) price b) some negative reviews c) possibility of irritation or damage to the lashes/ eyes. I did use this...and have been for 3 months now. My lashes are significantly longer and have recently begun to have more curl. I don't think they are very much thicker - but who cares... everyone is noticing and my eyes look great! Its expensive but great value.
I modified the suggested use to once every second night. For the first few applications I had a very 'heavy lid' feeling and mild irritation. This went away after about a week. I was careful not to get this product into my eyes and am very careful in keeping it very sanitary. You just apply a thin line (like an eyeliner - it has one of those brushes) along the base of your lashes at night, once a day. You won't see results for at least 3 weeks... my results took longer at about 5 weeks.
Tips:
- using it once every second night reduces irritation at the beginning and makes the tube last 2x as long, but you wait longer for your results
- I still use mascara, but it looks GREAT
- the product can be used to help grow eyebrows
- this can be used for top and/or bottom lashes
- when you stop using it, the effects will fade and your lashes will return to their natural shorter growth cycles.
It took a few nights for me to get used to putting the product on my lashes properly. Before that I got it into my eye and it stung like nobody's busy.
I had real doubts about this product working but after three weeks I noticed that after putting just one coat of mascara on my lashes that they were longer and I had a great look. That was instead of the usual 4 coats I previously had to put on. The stuff worked for me.
