I have this friend named Krissy who, for as long as I can remember, has had these insanely long, thick eyelashes. If you didn’t know her very well, you’d swear she gets extensions but the truth is, she was just born super lucky. Which, for the record, doesn’t make me any less jealous.
The good news for those of us with less-than-lush lashes is that the beauty market has recently been inundated with a slew of new products, all promising a lush-er lashline in a few short weeks. Sounds great, but they’re also pretty darn expensive. Most are priced around $100, while others, like Latisse, costs about $120 per box (which last about a month), with full results promised in four months. That’s a lot of dough for your lashes, don’t you think? Women have raved about the product ever since it hit doctors’ shelves, but we here at Chic Thrills don’t believe spending that much money is worth it in the long run.
To get the same results at a fraction of the cost, I’ve been using a product by DermaQuest Skin Therapy called DermaLash. Applied to the lashline before bed, much like you would it’s pricey competitor Latisse, the thin (and completely safe-for-your-eyes) gel works to keep your lashes in their anagen phase (fancy talk for the stage when hair grows), thus promoting a denser lashline. Confused? Don’t be. Simply use the gel every night before bed to see the results for yourself, and leave the science-y stuff to the DermaQuest folks.
Get it for yourself here and try not to break too many hearts batting your newly long lashes.
I’ve never really been into run-of-the-mill baubles, consistently favoring flea market finds and underground designers to Tiffany and the like. The more whimsy, in my humble opinion, the better.
