I had been dying for a trial, and then this one popped up. I had a good feeling in my gut, and then the day came and the BR goddesses shined their beauty light on me. Pretty sure I was writing messages in caps lock for the next hour I was so elated. It arrived 2 days after I confirmed my place on the team, and I cracked into it straight after my shower. The instructions say I can use it once or twice a day, so I decided to use it once, and then twice, and then once each day for 6 weeks.
My first impression was holy biscuits batman look at that box! And then... Man I hope there are more instructions! I opened the box with my metal nail file as my nails were not behaving, and inside was a snug silver tube wrapped in the instructions like a lil silver piggy in a blanket.
The tube is similar to the box with the patterns, only the tube is silver and black and the box is white and grey, and I really like the look of it. I didn't open it until I used it, and was very surprised to see a bright orange brush, similar to an eyeliner pen but more flimsy. Looking at the brush, I was like... is there any product even on this!? But upon brushing it gently at the roots of my lashes, I could see and feel the clear serum going on.
As I don't really need help with my brows I haven't used the product on them. My lashes are what needed the most lovin' so I got right into it. First application and it sounds ridiculous but I FELT it working. I knew it was working. They were longer that very day! (Not really but it felt like it). Every Saturday for the past 6 weeks I have taken photos of my lashes and I can see improvement in length, but not in density. In fact, I'm quite sure my lashes thinned out. That's fine by me, if they keep up the length!
Looking at the photos I can't see much of a difference, personally, but I've been told there is one. I know it's worked though, as I can put on mascara and you can actually tell I have eyelashes now. But did it work? Yes! I can visibly see that my lashes are slightly longer, definitely at the edges. Would I splurge and buy this myself? Maybe not this brand again, as I would like to check out my options.
I will continue to use this daily, rather than every few days as the instructions say, because it's part of my routine now and I like watching my lashes grow! Thank you for the opportunity BR :-)
I was super dooper excited to be picked to trial this. All I want is long fluttering eyelashes.
The packing is gorgeous! I really like the box and the tube it comes in. It looks elegant and expansive. You twist off the lid and there is a brush like a liquid eyeliner brush. I applied to the lash line on the top lashes and every now and then applied to the lower lashes. It doesn't sting, or react with my skin so high five to that. (Another brand did this to me. It was horrid!) I have been using it everyday. The first 3 weeks I was using it twice a day religiously! Now a couple of times a week I use it twice a day. One eye I had to skip a couple of days as I had eye surgery and wasn't allowed anything near it. You can't tell I skipped. I have been using it for the 6 weeks so far so hopefully in the next 2 there is more of a change as it does say 6-8 weeks. There is heaps of product in the tube. It doesn't feel like it's running out so it will last for ages! Awesome!
I was hoping for long lashes. Yes they have grown slightly and I am sure they feel thicker or stronger sort of more firm if that makes sense. So to the kisses above... yes I'll use it again to use up the product. At this stage not sure if I'll purchase it. I shall update. It has done as it suggested just not as I expected in the 6 weeks I'll tell friends I use it and show them photo evidence and they can make up their minds.
I have done a before and after photo which is on the photo wall. Please have a look and tell me if you can see a difference. I have used the same mascara each time. It was just to show the lashes as without mascara didn't show up in the photos very well.
Tips: Wipe the brush against the tube to make sure you don't have to much on the brush
