I just ordered! I loved the results I got with JM Here are my before and afters on that. I posted these same pics years ago but worth seeing again. and yes I will be charting my progress with pics with the Lumigan as well.

Before Jan Marini

After 4 months of JM AND 1000s hrs eyelash tint. LOOKS like I had mascara!

Will i get THESE sort of results with Lumigan?

Here is my original post. I was posting my before and afters from when I used JAN MARINI years ago and frankly I DO think it was quite an impressive change since I had short stubby lashes that did not even curl.

What the hell is that???????? She MUST have just copied my pic from here. I don't know what she is selling. She does not even say if it is a product, just "instructions" WTH???

I mean my results are from Jan Marini and she is implying HER secret got my results.

OMG! I know what it is! I bet she has been on THIS thread and is trying to sell the secret of buying Lumigan at alldaychemist!!!!! Read it! What else could it be? Same ingredients and a 6 month supply is about what ADC chages for 2 bottles and shipping.

Can you really sell that?

wenrwdy@aol.com,

I checked out the ebay link before I read your post. And whilst I was reading I figured it out too "starting with L and ending with E, its definitely Latisse aka Lumigan". You are "RIGHT", it cant be anything else, I am really shocked. Shock

I honestly think that the link should be reported. She is expecting people to pay $10 to get the same info that is in this forum. And even worse using someone else's photo to advertise it. I think if Ebay knew they would remove this listing. Just my thoughts though.

No, Ebay policy doesn't allow for selling of intangible product. She's selling information.

People are so desperate these days.

free skin care · Mon May 11, 2009 1:54 pm

Holy COW!!! She is selling Ageless too??? She can't do that!!!!!! That is totally illegal don't you think? She paid $10 for it and now she is selling it for $25....who the heck is this person on the board I wonder???

I smell a big fat RAT!!!!!! Mad

I think you are correct!

This is just an excerpt from what she says about the product:

'I have found the inexpensive secret to longer fuller eye lashes and I would like to share it with you. Please see my feedback of 100% positive as a buyer and seller. I want to help! I did not invent this secret, but did stumble upon it through my extensive reading.

I will mail you complete information and instructions of what you need to buy and where to buy it. Nothing that you need to make, it is made for you!!! You just need to put it all together.

Your costs- $10.00 for me (my price includes exact procedure where and how to get supplies)One time fee~~~~~~

$47.66 for the supplies for six months.

So this is $47.66 total cost for a five to six month supply. I use a different applicator than the famous one out right now. Starts with a L an ends with an E. Same ingredients.'

If that isn't Lumigan, I'll eat my hat! I don't know if she can do this, in sale terms. However, I am pretty certain she can NOT help herself to your pictures. I would contact her ASAP, and tell her that we have all seen that your pictures had prior publication on this thread. I believe that constitutes 'copyright' anyway.

Naughty, naughty seller! And she has 100% feedback? Hmmm...

free skin care · Mon May 11, 2009 2:07 pm

She has another auction for the same "info" except this one is eyeBROW instead of eyeLASH using different pictures. Everyone should take a look and make sure they don't recognize them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item=320369712648

If that doesn't work, item # 320369712648.

Nice!!!

Charging £16.55 sterling (no shipping).

Should LouLou be told about this?

I feel rather shocked by this - all the more so becuse this is someone who has been operating for 10 years on Ebay at 100% feedback. Or does that feedback not reflect all those years?

free skin care · Mon May 11, 2009 2:31 pm

I have already sent Lou an email.

Thanks Toby. Poor LouLou doesn't need this sort of rubbish right now, does she? Rolling Eyes

free skin care · Mon May 11, 2009 2:50 pm

FYI you can report her items on ebay. At the bottom of the auction, there's a 'report this item' area. For her auction to sell Ageless, you can do 'report item' and click on 'prohibited items'. Then select 'copyrighted items.'

Yeah, I found a member named platinumrose on EDS. I'm sure it's the same person.

free skin care · Mon May 11, 2009 2:54 pm

Lou has almost given her book away as it is....this makes me Sad

For Lou and Wendy Sad

free skin care · Mon May 11, 2009 3:08 pm

I looked at her auction for ageless. She's selling the softcover book, not the ebook. But how does she have more than 10 of these available? Is she LouLou's agent? Did she buy a bunch of copies from LouLou and hope that she'll be able to sell them at $25? I don't understand who in their right mind would buy from her the book when they can just buy it from LouLou for $10 cheaper?

free skin care · Mon May 11, 2009 6:44 pm

I don't know anything about Ageless but have seen it on here. What is it and how is she selling it?

And I would not consider the eyelash info tangible would you?

I am going to report it.

I've seen those pics for the other info auction but can't place them.

This is so weird....

Mon May 11, 2009 9:16 pm

Wow...what that girl is doing is soooo...ugh!!!! It made me so mad. Why is there always someone out to ruin things?

By the way, I have gotten two more sties on my eyes. I've replaced everything but the Lumigan, hoping against hope that it wasn't my precious miracle serum, but it seems like it is. Anyway, is there anyone who lives in Austin or Houston that would like to split an order (meaning just do one order and split the shipping) on ADC? I'm so broke right now Sad

We should all report it to Ebay, first of all it's copyright theft (using a photo without copyright holder's permission)... She can't do that.

There is a button at the bottom of every listing that says "report this item" , click on it and follow instructions. Let's all help now, let's do it for all her items!

plus, I think what she has done is downright disgusting.

She obviously reads everything we write here, because now her profile here is gone.

She has stolen other people's photos too,
she is currently using pictures stolen from this eyelash extentions site: www.xtremelashes.com/PhotoEyelashExtensionsNatural.aspx

Help report photo copyright infringment to eBay!

Her profile on EDS is not gone. The link didn't copy fully when you click it. You have to copy the link manually and paste it in another window to see her profile.

free skin care · Tue May 12, 2009 1:17 am

I emailed her through Ebay last night....this was the response I got.....

"Lou Lou is still making a profit but I understand if you need to do what you need to do. Have a nice day Platinumrose."

Obviously she thinks what she is doing is a-ok. What a flipping moron!!! Lou Lou could very well charge what price she slapped on Ageless because it's worth it, but that just goes to show you she (Lou Lou) cares more for affordability and helping others than making a major profit at someone elses expense....

PlatinumRose....people like you need their asses kicked.....

Sorry for the expletives! This woman really ticks me off!!!!!!! Mad

But at least the Ageless auction is gone........
