LiLash: The Return

So LiLash. Those of you that have been loyally following me for years will be well versed in my lash extension obsession.  

Once upon a time lash serums were not mainstream and I went to extra-lengths to order and try them out. Crazy lengths. Now of course you can pick them up pretty easily and there are many brands competing with another, each promising outlandishly confident results.

For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, eyelash growth serums are applied at night, along your top lashline. The applicator deposits a small amount of a clear liquid and after weeks of consistency your lashes will grow longer than they have ever been before. It’s a nice alternative to using fake eyelashes/eyelash extensions and when you think about how much you might spend on both of these products/treatments can even be an economical option.

The one brand that I seem to have remained loyal to is LiLash. Five years ago it worked fantastically well and after using it for the last few months I can say that this still applies.  Although not thicker, they are a lot longer in length and when I slap on the Bourjois Volume One Seconde I do a little happy dance inside. It makes me feel prettier. That feeling is a little at odds with the tiny little hairs I have been sprouting at the top of my cheeks – a side effect of using a highly effective hair growth stimulant but that’s been the only draw back of LiLash so far. I'll just pretend it's a new sign of femininity :) 

So yes, the tube does cost near £90 and that particular tube won’t last you longer than maybe 5-6 months but it’s fun to see how a product like this can make a difference to how you feel about yourself.  It’s been a nice little fluttery boost.

Now a word of warning to those of you who may now hit eBay and look for a tube…don’t. I did that at the beginning of the year and bought what I thought was a “right bargain”. It arrived sealed and seemed totally legit but after using that and then the genuine article I can confirm that I bought a copy. What was in it I have no idea….probably something as generic as washing up liquid. So as much as it pains me to say it, don’t pay anything other than full price. It's just not worth the risk.

Have you been trying any of these lash growth serums lately? There are so many on the market I’d be interested to know what ones you rate or even hate.
