Product Review: RapidLash Eyelash Renewal Serum

Hi all, or whoever still checks my blog to see if I've updated it. I wanted to start my blog revival by reviewing a controversial product, RapidLash Eyelash Renewal Serum.

I bought it for about $50 bucks at Drugstore.com after reading an Article in Allure regarding the new prescription brand of eyelash growth treatment Latisse and it's fellow competitors. Since Lastisse is priced at $125 bucks and I don't really have gainful employment at the moment, I decided to invest for the cheaper RapidLash.

I used it nightly as the package described by applying it like liquid eyeliner to my lash line. I did feel some minor irritation in the form of itchiness where I applied the product. After about 4 weeks I did notice a difference. My lashes are longer. They aren't much thicker, but when using mascara the effect is definitely noticeable. My lashes, particularly on my left eye are curlier too. Also for once in my life I noticed my lashes hitting my sunglasses!

Now if I had read this warning about RapidLash I may not have ever tried the product. I am happy to report that as of today I can see as well as I always have and my eye color hasn't changed. I haven't decided if I'm going to continue using this given the warnings. I'm a makeup artist, my eyes are very important to me. Why can't there be a product that actually works without consequences?
