I used one from Sephora back when I worked there, it worked just fine. I don't know how I feel about something that has such harsh side effects coming
close to my eyeballs.

Eyelashes should not be that serious.

Isn't one of the possible side effects blindness?

lakes slave..
yes it is..but the drug (same concentration and all) is actually used for Glaucoma. They found the eyelash growth by accident in clinical trials for Glaucoma treatment. So yeah, it can cause blindness..but probably only a very slight chance if at all..the only real difference between the two is the FDA indication. |

Side effects include darkening the colour of your eyes. Fuck that.

OH i dont disagree with you. I do understand people who have lost theirs due to Chemo or other outstanding factors..i think the idea of people who dont really
have a problem with their eyelashes using it is dumb..
Granted I've never dispensed it at the pharmacy where I work...but I bet you in places like LA and Miami and NYC they use a ton of it. |

I use the Mavala DoubleLash. It runs about $16.50. When I was using it consistently, I noticed a difference, but now I've been slacking and using it about
1 maybe 2 times a week, I don't see it growing as much as before (I have a little cluster missing cause I accidentally pulled it out with my eyelash
curler).
