My, What Longer Eyelashes You Have…
Want longer eyelashes for a sexier peek-a-boo? Assuming no one’s thinking “No, I’m working to have short and brittle eyelashes” I’ll share my experience with eyelash extensions and Jan Marini’s eyelash product.
A few years ago, I noticed a friend’s eyelashes looking…super model sexy. I felt like a motion web-cam following her eyelashes to the left, to the right. Her lashes were so long and luscious she looked like a butterfly who might take flight any moment. She was testing out eyelash extensions. Even though I only wore mascara once or twice a year, I found myself asking for the phone number. Boom, two days later…I joined the longer eyelash butterfly club.*
- Pros: people notice, wake-up with beautiful eyelashes + no mascara
- Cons: too expensive, prices vary $200 + upfront, $50 + monthly retouch, wear and tear on natural lashes.
I came across Jan Marini’s eyelash product just as it was being pulled off the shelf (it contained an anti-glaucoma pharmaceutical drug). Some say Marini’s original eyelash formula was the best, although, the formula I purchased in Febuary 2007, worked for me. Interestingly enough, new eyelash products containing anti-glaucoma drugs continue to pop up on the market, however, they’re sold by doctors for higher prices.
Pros: longer, stronger real lashes, $175 tube lasted me over a year ($11.60 per month)
Apparently, Jan Marini has re-formulated again and the latest is supposed to be pretty good. Should I decide to try it… I’ll let you know. More info on Jan Marini’s eyelash product.
Disclaimer: At the time of writing, I have not received any free products mentioned.
*To my knowledge, no such club exists

OK, so I have been totally making fun of the Brooke Shield’s pharmaceutical commercials with the eyelash meds and then I find out that one of my friends who has amazing eyelashes if I do say so myself goes and has them extended every few weeks. Who knew? Obviously, not me. Anyway. I had no idea there was an eyelash crisis in America, but I am all for solving it in any way possible.
Baby corn freaks me out too.
TH,
That’s awesome and I agree. Maybe we should start a new 3k run in hopes of helping women every where increase lash length. We could call it women lashing out or something like that…
maybe even raise a little money for baby corn victims.
