Boost your wink appeal
I’ve never had full, lush eyelashes. And, as I’ve gotten older, them seem to have become thinner and shorter. I’ve considered Latisse (the prescription lash growth serum) but am a little leery of the side effects: namely, that it can actually darken the color of your eyes. So, not wanting to go the prescription route, I decided to test one of the OTC lash boosting serums on the market. I chose L’Oreal’s Lash Serum.
The serum is a light gel that is applied to the lashes with a sponge-tip curved applicator. It is also applied like eyeliner along the base of the lashes with the tip of the applicator. It dries quickly and mascara can be applied over it. L’Oreal recommends using it twice a day, so that’s what I’ve been doing for the last two weeks. This product does not claim to grow lashes, just to nourish them and keep them from falling out as easily.
I expected nothing.
I got healthier, fuller lashes. I’m not sure if the extra moisture in the serum keeps the lashes soft and prevents them from falling out or if the Panthenol in the product actually has some type of dermatological effect. Whatever it is, I’m liking it. I’ve even started wearing mascara again. Something I’d given up because 10 dark lashes on each eyelid is really not that attractive.
This is now a product I can actually recommend. And, no, L’Oreal is paying me. However I am an affiliate of drugstore.com.
