Lash Envy Diaries: All I Want for 2010 are LASHES!

15 Jan

As a Korean sistah, I got nice thick Asian hair, but I am cursed with short, sparse lashes that point STRAIGHT down like awnings.  I forever envy other chicas who have full, voluminous eyelashes that naturally curl.

check it: these are my lashes just 3 hours after I furiously curled them AND applied Waterproof mascara.  SAD.

Despite my eternal Lash Envy, I have yet to try one of these “medical” eyelash growth stimulatants.  I’ve been a Talika Lipocils devotee for years because it’s 100% natural botanicals.  Yes, I do notice a difference, but maybe because it’s all-natural, the results aren’t as dramatic as I’d like.

Today, I said, “Botanicals be damned! All I want for 2010 are LASHES!!”

I bit the Money Bullet and bought a tube of Lilash for a whopping $139.97!

Why Lilash?

Even though there are tons of eyelash growth stimulants out there, I went with Lilash:

  • A few years ago, I asked a co-worker if she was wearing falsies, and she said she’d been using Lilash.  Her lashes were unbelievably long, FULL and curly.
  • Since then, I personally know 2 other co-workers (both makeup artists) who have tried it.  BOTH their lashes grew so much, they had to CUT THEM because they got too long!!
  • The results were enviable.  Their lashes looked like the ones you see on porcelain dolls!

The fact that Lilash worked on 3 people I personally know, is enough for me to want to try it.

But admittedly, one of the main things that kept me from ordering sooner was the hefty price.  $140 ain’t cheap!  But I don’t mind investing in something if it actually works.  We’ll see in the next few months whether it’s worth the $$$!

    You have to let us know how long it takes and whether it works. $140 is a lot to pay for long lashes!!!

    Ah! Someone who has the same issues that I do!
    I tried the original formula of Enormous Lash and it really made a huge difference.
    I’ve also found that Make Up Forever’s Aqua Smokey Lash to be THE best mascara for my sparse, straight, asian lashes. It keeps the curl, makes them look thicker and longer. Maybe give that a try too :)

    I’ve tried alot of the eyelash “conditioners” but not LiLash. It looks like it contains a prostaglandin, so if your eyes get itchy or irritated, stop using it. Keep us posted on your results! :)

    You have me wanting to try it, but I don’t have the cash for it.

    Funny, but just yesterday I bought RapidLash. Like you, i’ve known people who tried the product. At $60, it’s less than half the price of LiLash. I’ll let you know if it performs and look forward to hearing about your results.

    Oh yes, please let us know how this turns out.

    I’d like longer lashes also.

    I’ll be following your updates very closely. Yes, $140 is a lot of money, but the fact that I buy 4 tubes of mascara base plus 2-3 new lash curlers annually means that I probably *can* afford LiLash if it works well enough to ditch the other purchases.
