The rise of lash lifts, lash extensions and lash serums show many women are desperate for big lashes. Sydney mates Belinda Robinson and Felecia Tappenden saw an opportunity in the market and decided to launch their own product. They both experienced adverse reactions after using various eyelash serums. Ms Robinson and Ms Tappenden wanted to create an eyelash serum that worked without the side-effects, and launched Long Lashes last year.
Felecia jokingly suggested we should create our own one. The first product was shipped in November and by January they were making a profit. The young entrepreneur sells homemade cakes, cupcakes and is accepting custom orders. Check out her amazing designs here. Remembrance Day is a time to reflect and pay respect to the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Rebecca Sullivan. News Don't miss out on the headlines from News. It worked fantastically. I have big light hazel, greenish eyes and haven't noticed any change in color. It is really important that you don't get it in your eye. Don't put too much of the serum on the applicator, and don't put it on your lower lash line. I love this product, and have recommended it to anyone who comments on my gorgeous lashes!! When I first started using this product I did have a little red around my eyes.
I would say for about days. I figured I was just sensitive to this stuff and continued using it in hopes it would work. I didn't actually notice anything until about 4 weeks into it using it every night before bedtime , when I realized they were curling on their own. I no longer need an eyelash curled I just put on mascara and I'm good to go.
They curl exactly as they would when i'd curl them. It's been about 2months and its safe to say ill be a user for life. Love this stuff. Worth every penny to me. Give it a try, stick with it and you won't regret it :. I have been using Lilash for over a year and am very happy with the results. After the first tube which did last 5 months as claimed I started applying it every other day instead of daily just to maintain my growth. My lashes are so much longer and thicker that I don't have to use nearly as much mascara.
I haven't noticed any discoloration but I have brown eyes. There will be irritation and itching for the first couple of months but I would highly recommend this product. Hi Samantha, irritation has been reported by users as one of the side effects of using Lilash. And all of a sudden I remembered within the past 6 months I've developed double vision. In fact one week ago went to the eye doctor who found it puzzling as everything checkedout OK.
He in turn referred me to a specialist in Boston who I just saw yesterday and she took 5 vials of blood to see if perhaps it could be my thyroid or some hormonal problem as she was perplexed. I noticed my peripheral vision also was blurry and especially at night I had to be careful. If nothing comes out of all this testing I will have to conclude it was because of my lilash use.
I'm going to be quite embarrassed if I have to tell them I resorted to a lash enhancing product which perhaps could be the culprit. I tried the Ilash for brows and lashes religiously for 6 months. Nothing on the brows. The lashes that did grow were crooked and unable to curl when I applied a curler. Most importantly tho was the itchiness of the lids with redness that always looked like I lacked sleep or finished a good cry.
Not for me. After 1 month of Lilash use, my lashes were definitely longer but at about the same time, I noticed changes in vision. My peripheral field was blurry, especially if I turned my head quickly as in checking my car blind spot. This really scared me. I read up on the effects of prostagladins on the eye. It lowers the pressure in your eye.
This makes the eyeball soft and leads to blurred vision which can be permanent. I've stopped using the product and encourage all to use caution if using. You've got to go with an all natural eyelash growth product. I use dulash from paris. The chemical that changes eye color or causes vision issues. It looks so not right especially when I put makeup. I don't even know what to do with it. I too am now seeing dark, fine facial hairs under my outer edge of my eyes. I'm going to contact an electrolicist and see about having them removed.
I do not recommend laser hair removal as my technician refuses to laser facial hair. She has read numerous studies suggesting the laser may stimulate hair growth so she refuses to use the laser on their faces.
Don't know if these studies are accurate, but I won't take the chance. I use Revitalash for my lashes and have seen amazing results. I have tried every lash thickener under the sun and none worked as well as Revitalash!! Plus a doctor created it so I feel very safe using it. I have been using Lilash for 5 months now and I do love the length of my lashes, they do look false because they're so long, but I have decided not to purchase another Lilash due to the unwanted side-effects, I have little dark hairs under my eyes in the corners, I never had these before, and at the base of my eyelashes some of them look like they are actually GREY!!!
I feel that for just a little extra growth, there are too many side-effects for this product to be positive. Hi Melissa, Cosmetic Alchemy, the maker of Lilash, is currently involved in patent litigation with Allergan, the Latisse people.
From this I would deduce that no, the product has not been reformulated YET but given the way that other defendants named in this suit have been forced to reformulate their products it seems likely that Cosmetic Alchemy will have to also. Lilash worked great for about 3. I did get the redness and a bit of the fuzz off to the sides of my lower lashes - but my lashes were gorgeous. It really does make a difference that ppl notice: thick and long lashes.
A bit of concealer took care of the redness. I purchased a second tube and it doesn't seem to be working. I am hesitant to believe that I have become "immune.
With Latisse on the market now, the other companies may be under pressure to modify their ingredients if they are not FDA approved. Anyone have any knowledge of reformulation?? I used Revitalash after two failed attempts at lash extensions. It worked for about 6 months without any side effects. Crazy long lashes with not redness or extra facial hair. I stopped using after about 8 months. For the last two months it didn't seem to work.
It was like I was immuned to it. I decided to try Lilash after giving my lashes a break for year. After about months my eyelashes were long and thick and growing in every direction. I got the extra fuzzy hair underneath my bottom lashes. One day when I looked in the mirror, I thought my eyeliner had smeared, and it was a patch of hair. It really freaked me out. I plucked them, but they grew back a few times. Tonight after I washed off my eye makeup, I really noticed the red upper eyelids.
I've decided to stop using Lilash. I've been using it for about 9 months, and it worked for about months, and I've noticed that the extra long lashes are gone, but the thickness is still pretty much there. The discolored eyelids are freaking me out, and I hope it goes away. Like the Revitalash, I think I have gotten immuned to the product and it's not working anymore. I think they are all a temporary fix with the potential for some strange side effects. I may just live with my short stubby lashes, but at least I won't have extra hairy patches on my face and discolored eyelids.
I've been using LiLash for almost 7 weeks now. Has anyone noticed the formula in the tube getting watery??? It dosen't have the gel like consistency it first had. My lashes have gotten a bit longer but it feels like it stopped growing after the first 3 weeks. And I also have the little dark hairs under my lower lid upper cheek that wasn't there before. I have been using Lilash for about 5 months and I've have noticed very fine hairs growing on the top of my cheekbones under my eyes.
I didn't connect it with using Lilash until I read a review for Lilash on MakeupAlley, but I was wondering why they had started growing. I also think that my lower lash line is slightly darker because I was looking at some photos of me taken in July and I look like I'm wearing browny-red eyeliner, although my fiance says he can't see it! The strange thing is that I used the first version of Revitalash with no problem - in fact my lashes were totally amazing and I got so many comments and compliments.
Then they re-formulated it without the prostaglandins and the second tube did nothing. That's when I decided to use Lilash. I've thrown my tube of Lilash away now as I'm so horrified about the hair growth thing! Just started using Lilash yesterday.
Wish I would have read all these comments before purchasing, because now I'm quite nervous! My eyes were red today and a few close colleagues asked if I was okay. I'd love to have long lashes but not if the price is red eyes and facial hair!
Questions: Does the redness go away? For those of you that experienced this, is it better to apply at night or in the morning? I feel like it's dry shortly after I apply and therefore won't drip in my eye. Is it fine to apply mascara on top of it? Essentially, does anyone that initially got redness now love the product? I'm wondering if I should stick it out for a week or return immediately. Please advise! I used LiLash with great results, then switched to Latisse.
I think LiLash gave me better results because now my lashes seem shorter and not as thick as with LiLash. I am switching back. Also, I don't like the brushes that come with Latisse. My eye color has changed some and I do have the pink discolored upper eyelids and red eyes, but no cheek hair from either product. I'm a Lilash user too for 5 months now. It works great but didn't help the volume of my lashes. I have to apply one coat of Mac mascara then people will notice them.
After few researched I might try Activelash or the first rating from this website. Pls advise if you tried these two products before. I have been using for over a year - one tube lasts me about 6 months. I love this product. My natural lashes are quite sparse. I still need mascara, but the results are remarkable.
I have been asked about my lashes by quite a few people - the receptionist at my dentist's office, receptionist at my doctor's office, clerk in a clothing store, two teenage girls that I didn't know at a BBQ. No irritation for me. I use it in the morning after my shower and I wait a couple of minutes before applying my eye makeup. Hi, I'am a mexican man, 41 years old, I use this product since 3 months ago, and I can say it works for mans to. I'm very suprise cause my lashes looks very large, lilash works for me, hello everybody from mexico city.
I just bought LiLash a week ago and I do have a little bit of redness but nothing that is causing me to stop using the product. Do not apply on lower lid DUH! Do not get it in your eye DUH! Do not apply more then once DUH! If it hurts or does not work ask for your money back DUH!
Its simple! Hope this common sense helps you all. So I didn't search on google "Lilash red eyes" until about 7 months after I tried this product.
I've used it for a good 5 month period and I have to say, it sure does make my eye lashes longer. But soon after I also realized that I frequently got red eyes whenever wherever. I wear contacts but I rarely slept with them on and I took care of my eyes pretty well.
They were never that red until that point. I thought it must have been my contacts or my eyes are too dried out. But no, after two months of no Lilash, I still get red eyes , in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I stopped using it because some eye lash conditioner commercial mentioned that one of the side effects are red eyes. I also notice that the color of my eyes have changed a bit too, they look dull and red almost all the time now. I have to say, it's better that you stay away from those products because they do give you the results but eventually your lashes will fall out after a certain time.
Like I didn't. I've been using lilash every night for about 7 weeks. I must say I'm very disappointed with the results. I haven't noticed any change in my eyelashes at all. I used Librow for a while and noticed fuzzy hair growth on my cheeks and around my hairline as well.
Librow worked in helping grow in some of my very sparse brows, but I stopped using it because the side effects were a bit disturbing. The skin around my eyes is still somewhat discolored, but I'm hoping that will fade over time. Is there anything that will do that is safe and will do what LiLash does to get good results. MY lashes are very short. Do chemotherapy patients use anything for this? I have used Lilash and yes it did work well but I have stopped using it because it has made the skin on my upper and lower lid red and this is after approx 4 months of discontinuation.
Again, thank you Marta! I am always wanting to learn, and your site is great! Much appreciated!!! Have now reduced the use to 5 times a week, and changed it to morning use, this seems to have got rid of any red eye.
I think "cheek hair" does not seem as bad now. I do have slightly discoloured eyelids but am wondering if that is to do with age now. Have had lots of compliments on my eyes of late, so any of these little symptoms are worth it. I wonder if I had facial hair before and discoloured eyelids but just never noticed it as I was not scrutinising all the time! I just found this info on Enormous Lash. Has anyone used it? How were your results?
They say it is paraben and prostaglandin free. Enormous Lash ingredients: Butylene Glycol: organic, liquid compound used as a solvent, humectant and moisturizer in cosmetic products. Glycerine: A lubricant or humectant. Arginine : An essential amino acid peptide needed for proper hair growth. Phospholipids are essential to the function of cell membranes by providing a stable surrounding structure. Sphingolipid: Also known as a ceramide peptide. Sphingolipids are commonly believed to protect the cell surface against harmful environmental factors by forming a mechanically stable and chemically resistant outer shell.
Ceramides play a vital role in the hair's external protective sheath, the cuticle. In particular, they have a barrier effect which limits the loss of proteins; Furthermore, they also reinforce cuticle cohesion, which gives the hair more strength and liveliness. Panthenol: Also known as Vitamin B5 used as a humectant or moisturizer and binds hair follicles making them appear shiny. Caprylyl Glycol: Skin-conditioning agent that may be plant-derived or synthetic.
Phenoxyethanol: Common cosmetic preservative that is considered one of the less irritating ones to use in formulations. Isopentyl Glycol: humectant, moisturizer Hydroxyethylcellulose: A preservative, Plant-derived thickening agent typically used as a binding agent or emulsifier. We are beyond excited about this "NEW" formula! We also feel strongly that this product can be used for many, many, many years without ANY potential issues or side effects! It is in NO way associated with prosteglandins or glaucoma medication!!
Thank you Marta! One more question, please Which is the prostaglandin in Philip Thomas Roth's? This one looks to have A LOT of stuff in it - yikes! Lilash ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Hydroxyethlcellulose, panthenol, lupinus Abus Seed Extract, prunus, aymgdalus extract, silica, mutylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, isobutylparaben, 9 alpha, 15s trihydroxy, trinorprosta, diene, oic acid, isopropl ester. Which is the prostaglandin? I have been using Lilash since Dec.
Began to see results within a month. By two months, major results. I applied every day daytime and now I apply every other day. Any longer and I will have to cut them! No irritation other than maybe just the teeniest, slight tingle for the first few days. It might have just been in my head. And a teeny bit of darkening skintone along my lashline, but nothing to write home about, or mind.
No eyecolor change, I have pale blue eyes. My tube is still going strong I was told it should last 6 months and will be repurchasing soon, for sure! I've noticed the fine dark hairs underneath my lower lash as well. Bleaching them right now as I'm typing them. I'm quite sure I did not have this problem before I started to use LiLash. Hope they don't get thicker! My eyes became really sensitive to light after using Lilash for just 3 days.
I only applied a small amount in the morning. I've stopped using it. Like Linda, I called Lilash to ask them about side effect, her quick response is that she has never heard of this problem or that the problem causes redness to the eye.
I'm very skeptical about their response about side effects! And I have stopped using it for 2 weeks now and my eyelashes start falling off. My eyelashes are growing back nicely and I do see a diff in the thickness also. It's not easy to find this brand in the US but I bought mine off eBay and you girls should really give it a try. I have been using Lilash now for 8 weeks. My eyelashes have grown really long and I have had comments on them. I still get a reaction red eyes every now and again but just use a couple of drops of Richto V.
The past week I have noticed that I have fine dark downy hair growing under my eyes towards the outer edge of my eyes upper cheek bones. I use the product only on my upper lid. Am thinking maybe I have always had this but never noticed it before. It is strange that a couple of you have noticed this too. But I am very happy with my eyelashes and realised yesterday that they look incredible in natural daylight.
Will use it every night for the next 3 weeks then only three times a week. I have been using LiLash about a week. The first 2 days of use I put it on the bottom lashes not a good idea my eyes was burning a little after that I stopped using on the bottom lash it's been fine and careful not to put in my eyes Still haven't noticed a change in my lashes but it's been only a week will keep you posted. It definitely worked, although I'd agree with Ana Karen that the lashes mostly grew longer, not thicker.
Still, a huge improvement, and I didn't have to wear mascara anymore. No eye irritation at all and no eye color change. I ordered something cheaper that irritated my eyes AND didn't work, so I'm about to order my second tube of Lilash. It made me look years younger! I started using this product in November. It took at least 2 months before I noticed a diference. In the meantime my eyes felt red, crusty , and itchy. The pigment above my lids became darker too.
Beleive it or not, after about 2 months, I became used to it, it didn't bother me anymore, and now my lashes are very long I had short, stubby lashes after having a baby. I don't know if it made them darker and thcker, but definitely longer. I was just given Latisse the new FDA approved lash grower. I can't wait to see how that works. I have also noticed hair growing under the lower lash line My lashes had thinned so much it took forever to use mascara, I'd sit there separating the few lashes I had.
So I started using Lilash in September did the every night thing for the 8 weeks and yes my lashes DID grow long and thick. I did use it on my brows as well. Had 2 teeny bald spots on my brows.
They filled in and my brows looked great too. What a find! I can attest to the crazy lash thing too, way long lashes growing sideways or growing facing in but that's the bad with the good.
Down side, after the 8 week regimen instructions say to use Lilash once a week. And yes to the poster who had asked about the hair under lower lash line yup! It feels so icky when you apply mascara it sticks to those hairs, and sometimes feels like it's pulling your lower lid down. Do I continue with the weekly thing is it OK? I'm trying 3 times a week for now. I have hazel eyes and not change in color.
I do have the thin pinkish line along my lash line but shadow, cover makeup, eyeliner they all cover it so it really does not bother me at all.
Has anyone noticed that there is increased facial hair under the lower lid when applying this product. I started to grow fine black hairs under the lower eyelash line I am an aesthetician and lash extention artist. I know how much women love long, thick, dark lashes! I wanted to have some myself, but being the only artist in my salon, I was very interested when I heard about Lilash. I bought it, used it and after seven weeks started to notice lash growth.
After four months, my lashes were crazy long I mean carzy since some lashes will grow in odd directions. One problem was that I noticed the upper rim of my eye seemed thicker so it looked a bit odd. The worst thing was that my eyes became so increasingly dry that I stopped using it. Even after not using it for 6 months, I still have a problem with dry eyes that I never had.
I tried to contact Lilash about the side affect and no one ever responded. Naughty business. Still hopeful and I encourage my clients to look into it very carefully before use and I make sure they know what happened to me. Ms Ballesty stopped using LiLash after the recommended three month period because her eyes became red and irritated.
I had big dark circles under my eyes. It looked like I had been crying," she said. Online reviews are mixed. The internet is littered with horror stories about irritated, red eye infections contracted after using LiLash. But for every negative comment there is a ringing endorsement from a woman thrilled with her new long, thick lashes.
In May the Australian Department of Health banned the product from being sold in salons. Australian Society of Ophthalmologists president Dr Peter Sumich said the growth hormone in eyelash serums was commonly found in many prescription eye products. They end up having to trim them because they get so long.
While prostaglandin is definitely an effective ingredient, Dr Sumich said it should only be prescribed by a medical professional. I understand why they do it, but we have strict regulations in this country and with good reason," he said.
