Re: Eyelashes--Need Some!

hey there - it says 'not for use on bottom lashes' in the packaging, i believe. not sure why. i suppose you could use it just long enough to jump start the lash growth. i too have been using Latisse (for a little over 4 weeks) and they truly are longer, darker and fuller. i think change in eye color is rare. i don't have to worry about it since my irises are about as brown as they come. good luck with the other stuff! a good lash enhancing pair of products are Cils Booster and Definicils by Lancome. since i hate my hair so much and have to suffer through its growth until it's tolerable, i figure at least my lashes can be pretty. too many mornings i look in the mirror and groan. it sucks looking like Morgan Freeman if you're not really him.
