    Default Super-long eyelashes

    So, to make a long story short, in late March I was missing a ton of eyelashes on my upper lids, and desperately looking for a product that would grow them in as fast as possible. I've tried Talika with questionable results, so I didn't really want to try that again. In my search, I found this product that seemed to promise incredible results: Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash. Not being completely naive, I looked for customer testimonials on the product and didn't find many (the product's only been out since February of this year), but surprisingly, those I did find seemed very positive. The downside: One tube of this stuff retails for $160!!! I did find it online for about $25 less, but still, Jesus, that's a lot of money.

    But I was desperate. So, in a fit of insanity and a promise to myself that if this turned out to be a rip-off, I was becoming a cosmetics nun for the rest of the year, I plunked down my money and received it on March 28. It comes in a tube that lasts for about 12 weeks, and is a liquid that you apply to your eyelid with an eyeliner brush, every night before bed. You only use it once a day.

    I've been using it for about 37 days now, and I can say that the results are definitely *wow*. My missing eyelashes are now almost completely grown in, a process that usually takes at least 8-10 weeks. My lower lashes, which are normally so short and fine as to be virtually invisible, are now easily double their usual length and much more visible. My upper lashes are considerably longer than normal. I just applied mascara for the first time since starting this whole adventure, and I could NOT believe it. It looked like I had fake eyelashes on.

    I've still got 2 months left in this tube, so I'll post about my results as I continue using it, but so far, I can definitely say WOW. So, to sum up:

    Product: Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash
    What it is: Eyelash growth promotor and conditioner
    What it promises to do: Grow your eyelashes to super-human lengths
    What it actually does do: Grow your eyelashes to super-human lengths!
    Pros: Easy to apply, only requires one application per day, uses small quantity of product, lasts 3 months, ACTUALLY WORKS.
    Cons: Costs an arm and a leg -- $125-160. Available through spas and dermatologists, so you might need a consultation first in order to get it. I was able to acquire it online without one, though, and most sites that did require it only required phone or email.

    Not to get to personal, but why were you missing your top lashes?? Were you using falsies to often??

    No, I'm a trich sufferer (a disorder related to OCD that compels one to pull hair). I ordinarily don't suffer from it very much (mainly eyelashes, the vast majority of the time), but I had some relapses over the last couple months and of course they take forever to grow back. Which, I suppose, makes the product that much more impressive! Not only did they grow back almost completely in one month instead of 2 or 3, but they grew even longer than normal. I'm impressed and curious to see what kind of results I'll get as I use the rest of the tube.

    Definitely keep us posted ....pretty please! My entire family has naturally dark long eyelashes that look fake, b/c they are so full and beautiful ..... everyone, that is, except for me. I would love to try a product like this, but don't really have that money laying around. Please keep me/us posted, and maybe I could save my pennies!!

    where can you find it besides online? sephora? mine are average length, but i want more length on the outer edges so it makes more of a "fan" or "cat eye" or whatever.

    wow..i suffer from that too. it happens most when i'm stressed and it does take months to get them to grow back. i think i'm going to try that stuff, but how do you control it? do you see a therapist or anything? its strange that people always tell me i have beautiful eyes when i am most subconcious about them but no one seems to notice i don't have them on the top when i'm in the club. i just tell them i have bad allergies but mainly i wear falsies (it takes bonding glue to get them to stay on) and have a badass make up artist to help me cover it up. i'm still figuring out how to pm but if you could pm me or something i would like to talk to someone about it, Aviendha

    You can get it at any dermatologist or esthetician that sells Jan Marini products. I bought mine online, though, because I could get it for less than retail price.

    As for the trich, well, sometimes I can't control it. In this case, I told myself, "If I'm gonna spend that kind of money on something that literally costs me over $2 every time I use it, I'd damn well better commit to seeing results!" So I buckled down and I've been extra vigilant in controlling my behavior, and it seems to work thus far. Plus, my lashes grew in so quickly and evenly that it was easy to motivate myself.

    Let me clarify an earlier statement, though. When I say that "my lashes are completely grown in", I mean that I have full lid coverage. I do still see a lot of baby lashes that are beginning to grow and will create a thicker lash line. Which is good! I just didn't want to give the impression that *all* my lashes grew in at once.

    Anyway, I'll be done with Month 2 in a few weeks and will report my results then, hopefully with pictures.
