I searched for different reviews on various sites but still not sure???

Which one has everyone had the best results with JAN MARINI or REVITALASH? or should I just wait for the LUSH LASH serum??

Thanks!

I am on my 4th(?) week of Revitalash and altho' I never measured my lashes to start, I do think they are a tad longer. Its the only lash product I've ever tried, but it gets my endorsement.

I'm on my eighth or ninth week of Revitalash and I've got some looong lashes. My daughter thinks they look thicker but I've only noticed the increased length. They also curl much easier and hold the curl. I've not used the other products and probably won't. When I finish this tube I plan on buying another and going on a maintanance program. I never had bare spots, irritation, or any of the other things some people have mentioned. I used once a day and I missed one or two nights the entire time I've used it.

I've been using JM's original formula since June 2006 and I'm running out of it. I've had fantastic results but I just don't trust the new formula because it's been changed. Some people on here have started using her new formula, but it's still too early to tell if it'll work as well. So, in the next 2 weeks I need to make a decision as well. Every day I'll read someone's post on here and change my mind. I'm so confused!!!! Rolling Eyes

I agree with BluesHart. RL has increased the length but not the thickness of my lashes. They are indeed pretty curly. (Do you think it has to do with the fact that I have curly hair too? I think so!) I am on my 7th week and have seen relatively good results, but never WOW. My goal was not to use mascara any more and I still have to. After investing $210, I am a bit disappointed. I am not sure if buying another tube or looking for a cheaper option... Do you think Carekate's serum will be in the market?

Loreg, my original lashes were stick straight (I'm Asian). Now I got some nicely curled lashes, and some that just don't point straight down. However I do have some that curl sideways. Pretty unmanageable.

I am holding out for Carekate's Lush Lash when I run out of RL. Also I read that plain old Vaseline will help to thicken and lengthen your lashes, but it takes a really long time for you to see results. So when I run out, I'll try that if Carekate's Lush Lash is still not available. I'm on my 3rd month of RL, so I expect to run out by the end of March or early April. Hopefully Carekate will start selling her Lush Lash soon. RL is drying my eyes out too much, and I don't look that pretty with red eyes.

I am a newbie on this board and have been lurking for awhile and love reading the posts. I have not used any product for the eyelashes specifically, but for about a year I have been using emu oil to remove my eye makeup and after a couple of months, I noticed my eyelashes are thicker and longer. I started using emu because of the "nasties" in commercial eyemakeup remover. I think because it is healthier for my eye area and conditioning for the eyelashes they appear this way. I had read on another board that emu helps dormant hair follicles grow. Just thought I would throw this out there because it is alot cheaper and it can't hurt to try it.

I have been using the old JM and its awesome; it has really made my lashes long both top and bottom,no need for mascara. Dont know about the new formula.....the old is selling for 250 on ebay twice what the new sells for.If the new JM doesnt work then everyone will switch to revitalash...till the FDA pulls that too.

[b] Very Happy Actually, in answer to queries re the new JM, this is the only JM i have ever used....I can say honestly, with the new formula, it really works...I have noticed my eyelashes have not only thickened, but are darker....was the "old" one better? I can't imagine it being so....answer, please. And I am interested in this "emu oil". If this really does make lashes thicker and longer, I want to try it....(before I invest $)....thanks if CareKate has a formula for eyelash growth, I would like to try it....but I can vouch for Ardell I alternate with this one, I like it, Liz

_________________
this is for carekate: would you give me the recipe for your "homemade serum" for eyelashes? Thanks.....I'm very interested. I used to use castor oil on my eyebrows and eyelashes; it does make them grow....

The problem I ended up having with the old JM was red/brownish discolorations on lids, upper and lower, so I stopped using this even though it made my lashes incredible...is anyone having this same issue with the new formulation?

The new formula does not cause eye irritation and should not discolor your lid. My sister used the new formula and it worked for her but she only uses it every other day because she doesnt want super long lashes like mine-she thinks they look fake so they are not as long as mine(I use it everyday) but they have still improved.That link is no longer available Mt.view.

Bluesheart,

I finally got around to using the Revitalash I got from Patty and after a couple of months, I have the same results as you... Definitely noticeably longer, curlier, and more lashes overall. When I curl them and wear mascara, it looks like I have some falsies mixed in! Nicely dramatic without being freakish. Certainly worth it. I have not experienced any irritation or sensitivity issues (and my eyes are notably sensitive, since I have allergies), but I haven't been obsessive about it and have just applied RL those nights I remember to do so. I also have been using Mavala double lash underneath my mascara in the day time. What a nice feeling it is to begin to brush your lashes with conditioner, and they feel curlier, tanglier, and more luscious!

No, the link is still AVAILABLE. EDS doesn't copy the entire link when you click on it. I reported this problem to Mabsy already.

You'll have to copy and paste the link to another window manually. I did it and saw the article without a problem.
