Our story:

My friend and I own and run a medspa in Southern California.  We like to provide our clients the best eyelash products based on our reviews, and the feedback from our clients.  There are many eyelash products claiming to be the best or have a superior results.  You name it, we have tried it--and usually we try the same things and get the same results. Well, finally we got smart. Now, we just divide out the products we want to try up and see which one works best.

This time, we started with eyelash growth products since I was having a lot of trouble with eyelashes. It seemed like every time I looked in the mirror they looked shorter and shorter—they had to be breaking off and falling out. I was not about to give up my lashes if there was something I could do about it.

So like anyone else, I started looking around. With tons of options and no real authority to help me decide, this was the perfect opportunity for us to try them all out. And, since some of the main ones were pretty popular, we wanted to give them a second shot, just to make sure the results were realistic. 

This site is a product of our own personal and clients results. This site is NOT endorsed by any of these products, but our own personal feelings on them. We will be adding more as we try more products - so keep checking back.

The images and weblinks are directly obtained from the respective sites, but some products are no longer available or have been discountinued; therefore, we have obtained their images from websites that do sell the eyelash growth products.

Good luck and we help this helps with your search!

Natural Eyelash Growth Product

So listen up ladies! I almost got left out of this little female bonding ritual! You better believe I wasn’t gonna stand for that one! By the time I heard about it, everyone already had a product they were testing. Good thing I am well-connected—ha.

I actually have a sister-in-law that has a salon and she told me about a new product that had just hit the market. This was in August, and I got it as soon as it came out and started to test it out. After almost two months, I am starting to think I hit the jackpot with this one.

I applied it directly to my lashline and didn't experience any burning at all. I used it every morning right before I put on my mascara. I won't say I saw anything shocking in the first week or two, but round about week 3 I noticed some thickening and after 6 weeks. It looked like my lashes were really growing. OH YEAH!! My lashes—not falsies!

Even though I didn’t really know how to measure my lashes to be sure of the difference, I could tell how much mascara I used. Before, I would put on at least 2-3 coats. Now, I am only putting a light coat on and they look thicker and longer than they did before.

I wanna be completely fair here and I have to admit that Activlash is definitely on the pricey side. It is comparible with the Jan Marini and Revitalash, but it still definitely is not cheap!

Now, I haven’t quite gotten through the 8 week mark, but from my experience with it, I would definitely say that it works, doesn’t irritate my eyes and it’s definitely worth it!

Active Lash is the only natural eyelash growth product in the market for longer, fuller and thicker eyelashes.

Thank you Dr. whoever came up with this product! I am totally singing your praises. I am so happy with the results I have seen. At almost two months, I can tell a huge difference in my lashes. I had no problems with it. No burning or stinging at all.

My lashes are much longer and thicker. They almost look like eyelash extensions. Everyone I see is asking me what I have been using. I am so glad Lisa called me in for this one!

I gotta agree with Elaine though! The cost is a bit higher than most of my cosmetic purchases…but I can see results and that is what is important!

Latisse
Ranking for overall value: 4 stars
User friendly: 75% (cost factor and repeat doctors visits)
cost: $150 - one month supply
amt: 3 ml

Expensive, Prostaglandin based, Lots of Side Effect Potential

Hi everyone! I have been into the whole lash conditioning product craze for more than 2 years. Of everything I've used until now my favorite has remained Activlash. With all the buzz about Latisse I couldn't wait for it to come out to see if it lived up to it's reputation. Ok, so I've been to my doctor twice already and am almost finished with my second bottle of Latisse. I actually started to notice them changing by the third week. Now they are really starting to get much longer and thicker even darker. To be fair the product insert recommended up to 16 weeks for full results but I have been really impressed with how my eyelashes have responded already. Since Latisse is made by the same company that makes Botox I wasn't expecting to be disappointed and I certainly wasn't. This is a great product.

If I have any negatives to report with Latisse they have more to do with the process than the product itself since I am loving my eyelashes right now. I did experience some minor irritation to my eyelid but mostly from the somewhat inconvenient disposable applicator which is a bit too rough for me. I'm being picky here. My biggest issues really have to do with the repeat doctors visits and the cost factor. Latisse is definitely more expensive then similar products. At $150 a month for Latisse you can do the math on a 4 month supply. Making time to get this stuff from the doctors every month was inconvenient.

So now I've used both Lilash and Latisse. Both gave me great eyelashes without any real significant irritation. Actually my lashes responded pretty similarly to both. Doctor visits and applicator aside the cost of Latisse is the only thing that makes me want to give Lilash the edge especially the way things are now. Of course, you can decide for yourself.

I'm excited I got to be part of the review group this time. I missed the last round of reviews, so I said the next product they find was going to be mine! And let me tell you how glad I was to save my place in line for my first "official" Latisse product review. After close to two months I could not believe the lashes I have! People who haven't seen me since Christmas noticed immediately! They swear these can't be my real lashes but they are! Latisse really works. I have been feeling so much happier with my eye makeup now that my mascara is doing what I want it to do! My eyes are really popping with my new eyelashes. My results required patience as in many weeks but it was worth it.

I've learned that Latisse is the first FDA approved drug to grow your eyelashes. Truth be told, I do wish I didn't feel like I was using a drug. When I read in the packaging "for the treatment of hypotrichosis of eyelashes" I feel like my eyelashes must be "sick". There was a long list of possible side effects some of which were very scary and some I didn't understand. I don't think I've had any problems and it doesn't bother my eyes. Like any true product junkie I am willing to look past certain inconveniences(like the price) to be beautiful but I do want it to be safe too. Latisse is definitely expensive but as long as it works and I don't have problems I'm going to stick with it. That completes my Latisse review thanks for reading and I hope it helps.

Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash Conditioner
Ranking for overall value: 3.5 stars
User friendly: 80% (easy application, but very irritating)
cost: $160
amt: .2 oz

Discontinued due to Side Effects and FDA Warnings

Note: Marini Lash is a new formula please read below

Jan Marini definitely knows what she is doing. I used some of her other skin care products before and they were great. Just like other products from Jan Marini, this one really does work!

Now, it did totally sting when I applied it to my upper lid. I was not a happy camper about that one! Usually her stuff is really well done without any side effects. That was a little disappointing.

BUT—I did see an improvement in my lashes in just 2 months. They were getting longer! I also saw more fullness than I had before I can definitely say that this product worked for me!

***NOTE*** for sensitive eyes: it is quite irritating. Mine are ok right now even with the irritation, so I am going to keep using this for another month or so and see how much more they will grow!

Melissa C.

When Lisa asked me to help her try some eyelash conditioning products I was curious about this one. I saw it in my salon every month when I went to get my hair done, but with the price tag of $160, I just wasn't sure that a little bitty tube of "magic juice" would really be worth it. Lisa's experiment finally gave me the excuse I needed to check it out.

It was easy to use, I just applied it like a liquid eyeliner, but it was very irritating. I ended up having to skip several days to give my eyes a break from it. I got online to see what was causing the irritation, but I am no chemical engineer J and I really couldn’t figure anything out. But, when I was online I saw that there were some others who had experienced the irritation, too.

When I was looking around at the message boards I also saw that this product had been taken off the market for a while. I didn’t really get the full story, but I did see that when it came back, there was a different active ingredient. I wonder what the difference in the two would be?

As far as results go, I did have to skip some days due to the irritation. So I think my results have been slightly delayed. After two months, I can tell a difference. My lashes definitely seem thicker and a little longer, although it doesn’t look over-the-top lash tangling length like some people have gotten with this product. The message boards were very positive and pretty much all said you have to wait at least 2-3 months for real results.

I wouldn't say this is a lifesaver, but I have seen some results. If you are willing to put up $160 for a little tube of "conditioner" for your lashes, it does seem like they are really looking healthy and thick. Maybe three months is the kicker? I'll keep you posted.

New Jan Marini - Marini Lash

Eyelash Growth Serum, No Prostaglandin, Minimal Irritation

As the eyelash growth product pioneer, Jan Marini's reputation speaks for itself. It was a sad day when her Age Intervention Eyelash Conditioner was discontinued. Her new Marini Lash has been out for a while now so I thought it was worth taking a look at it, especially since I couldn't find many reviews. It's ironic, and definitely worth noting, that Jan's original active ingredient that caused her so many headaches with the FDA has now been reintroduced in a prescription-only product. Patents and lawsuits aside (and I'm no lawyer here) whatever Jan had to do when she changed formulas, I wish she could change it back.

Now, in true Jan Marini style, this product did work as she said it would. I can honestly say I didn't have to convince myself that my lashes were longer or thicker. Other people noticed also. I do think though, that truthfully, it just didn't work as well as the first formulation. One of the things I noticed most with the original was that I also grew a lot of new eyelashes besides longer and fuller ones. Funny - I guess to me it always seems like the reformulations are never as good as the original.

Once I started using Marini Lash, it was a slow start, but I could definitely tell a difference in about 3 weeks. My lashes did look a little longer and there was a bit more thickness(most evident with mascara). There was no irritation at all. In fact, after about 12 weeks I could tell that my mascara went on much more smoothly. (I could put on 2 coats instead of 4 or 5 like I used to do every day.) I won't say this is a miracle product like some others I have used, including Jan's herself, but it did do what I expected and I'm pretty happy with the results. The price tag of $160 is the same as it was with the original but it feels higher to me than before. Maybe its my expectations that were too high. With some online deal shopping I would buy this product again.

REVITALASH Eyelash Conditioner
Ranking for overall value: 1.5 stars
User friendly: 75% (very irritating)
cost: $150
amt: .13 oz

Eyelash Growth Product, Prostaglandin based, New Formula ingredients not provided by the manufacturer, High side effect profile

So yes, this was all my idea—and that being the case, I wanted to see what I had gotten myself into. Revitalash new formula is a disappointment compared to its original formula.  The new formula surprised me with the poor results that people were saying they had with it.

Well, with high hopes, I started using Revitalash once a day as suggested. I cannot tell you how much it burned when I put it on. The website said some people had experienced irritation initially, so I continued to use it to see if it would die down. It continued to be very uncomfortable, so I would have to skip a day here and there to give my eyes a break. But I was a trooper—and used it all the way through the 10 weeks.

The good news is that I finally stopped using Revitalash.  The new formula is poorly designed with no new clinical studies.  It is a shame that Revitalash had to lose its formula to Allergan (latisse). 

I would say for length, yes, you will get that, but if they end up falling out, you aren’t getting to keep them after all. Overall, for the price and the irritation I experienced, I was not a big fan of Revitalash. Even with longer lashes, it seemed like the negatives out weighed the positives on this one.

PS. I was looking at my review which finally I looked up the price.  The price just kinda jumped out at me. I usually just look at the price of something when I buy it and not necessarily how much I am actually getting--especially when it comes to cosmetics. I guess after seeing everything online, I noticed how little product I was getting for the price! What a bummer!

I was using eyelash extensions to get long, sexy eyelashes—bad idea! I finally realized that the more I used them, the worse my lashes were looking. And it took forever for them to grow out.

I was super excited to help Lisa and everyone else out with this eyelash product review.

Revitalash looked like a cool little treatment to test out so I was pumped when I got mine in. I used it for like two months straight. You have no idea how hard it was for me to remember every day! But it totally paid off!

Where they were short and broken, my lashes were filling in and growing in longer than the ones I had before. I didn’t really experience as much of the excessive fallout that Lisa mentioned—but I did have a lot of stinging and burning when I first applied it.

And at $150 I gotta admit, I was expecting no problems and really quick results. Don’t get me wrong, if the product worked, it would be worth paying for it. The price of paying for a tube, along with the amount of irritation, and poor outcome, I think some of these other products might be a better value.

Enormous Lash
Ranking for overall value: 2 stars
User friendly: 90% (easy application, non-irritating formula)
cost: $95 - 5 to 6 month supply
amt: .2 oz

Since I had used the earlier version of Enormous Lash (Massive Lash- sold through Intuit Beauty), the girls asked to put my two cents into this review and give a comparison with the new Enormous Lash. The first time I got such great results that I was happy to give it a 2nd review. In fact, the first time around my lashes grew so much I literally had to cut them one time. That was kinda crazy! I don't know exactly what it is, but with this new formula I'm just not as impressed at all.

Considering the fact that my first review was a while back, I thought I would jump online and do a little research to see what everyone online had to say about Enormous Lash. I had done a little research and read good things about it, but when I tried it I didn't really feel like it was doing as well as the last time. I started thinking I had to be crazy, so I got back on message boards and saw that several people felt the same way I did. Come to find out this product wasn't the same as the one I tried a few years ago! Not only that, but it is now being sold by a company called Beauty Society not Intuit Beauty. I couldn't find out why they changed the formula or the company, but I think whatever the reasons, they should go back to the original formulation. I can attest to the fact that the original worked very well for me, but the new formula was just mediocre.

Lynn R.

I've never really used that many beauty products before. So, needless to say I don't consider myself an expert, much less qualified to write a review. With this being new to me I can't guarantee it will come out exactly right. I am just so glad to have the chance to be included and hope I can offer some good information! :)

Well, after I was assigned to try out Enormous Lash, I went straight to the computer to do my homework like any good reviewer would. I saw that there were some products out there that seemed to be really effective. That certainly got me all worked up about trying Enormous Lash. I was really hoping that it would be one of those killer products.

Yet, no matter how much I wanted Enormous Lash to work, I just don't think it was nearly as effective as I had hoped. It was easy to use and it didn't bother my eyes. And, don't get me wrong I thought I saw a little bit of difference, but I wasn't just impressed or shocked with how long or thick my lashes were at least compared to what I had seen with friends who were using eyelash stimulators. I am new at this, so maybe I didn't use it right or maybe I'm just one of those people who don't respond well to products or treatments like this. I really can't tell you if it was me or the product, but I did not see a big difference in my lashes with this product.

At $95 it certainly wasn't cheap, but it is more reasonably priced than some eyelash growth products. And, of course, I did feel like I saw some minor improvements especially with my mascara on. It just definitely isn't something I would try again.

Essential Lash by Procyte
Ranking for overall value: 1.5 stars
User friendly: 60% (for relatively difficult application and little results)
cost: $79
amt: .35 oz

Compared to the high prices of some of these other eyelash conditioners, at $79 I thought Essential Lash was a steal. Now, if only it actually worked!

I’ll start off by saying that the instructions called for me to get this on to my eyelid and over my lashes, but gave me a big ole mascara brush to use. Now really? How does that work without me poking myself in the eye or getting it all over my eyelid? Obviously, I had some problems with application.

It’s been a month now and haven't really seen any dramatic difference at all. I should have probably known that a 100% plant-based product with no active ingredient couldn't possibly thicken or regrow my lashes faster than the normal growth cycle.

Maybe the vitamins and minerals in it are doing a little something to help them look shinier and healthier—even a little thicker and more voluminous when I applied mascara.

If you want to pick this up just as a volumizer and conditioner, I would say go for it and the price really isn’t too bad. But, if you actually want to grow your lashes, I would not recommend this product.

Leslie D.

Talika calls itself a French formulation that promises 100% plant based hair growth. I did not see any of this whatsoever. I watched my lashes each day and my mascara usage to see if I could notice any additional volume or extra length. While I was incredibly religious in my efforts, I only saw minimal changes. My lashes did seem to have more of a shine to them and they also seemed a little thicker. It was just hard for me to tell much change.

Also, it was somewhat awkward to apply this considering the brush was so large. I kept poking myself in the eye with it, which caused some irritation, but I don’t think that was from the formula. Oh yeah, the formula itself also wasn’t what I would call a gel base. It was much more watery than I expected.

If you want a moderately priced eyelash conditioner I would say Talika is a good choice, but just don’t fall for the idea of “growing” your lashes. I can’t say that it did for me and I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you either.
