Review: RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner and Mascara

Today I will be reviewing the RevitaLash eyelash conditioner and the mascara together. The reason for this is because I used these two items in conjunction with each other for best results.


What is it?
Eyelash conditioner: New Enhanced Formula! This advanced RevitaLash^® formula contains a proprietary blend of proven functional cosmetic ingredients pioneered by Athena, combined with an infusion of powerful peptides and soothing botanicals, designed to both beautify and nourish the eyelashes. - website

Mascara:  Maximize your lashes even more. With our high performance, clump-free formula your lashes will look thicker, fuller and more luscious than ever. And our custom designed brush will separate and define for an eye-popping finish. Used together with RevitaLash^®, the results are even more stunning. Mascara by RevitaLash^® frames your eyes so your true beauty shines through. Available in two colors - Espresso and Raven. - website

Price:
Eyelash conditioner: 6 months supply - $150 / 3 month supply - $98
Mascara: $24

Where to buy: revitalash.com, local spas, salons, and doctor's offices.

My thoughts:
Eyelash conditioner: Sleek silver tube with a small brush applicator - I used this every night for four weeks. After washing and drying my face for the night, I would apply one single thin layer of this clear product above my lashes. I'm not sure if it was the yawning before the bedtime, but I noticed my eyes would get slightly watery after using this product. It would only last a few minutes or so. After using it for a month, I do notice more volume and lushness to my lashes. I will continue to use this product and see if it grows some more. Here are the before and after pictures:

Mascara (Raven):  I apply this in the morning after I finish my eye makeup. It was instructed that I use this in conjunction with the eyelash conditioner to make it more effective. The mascara gives me immediate longer and curlier lashes. It stays on all day (over 8 hours) and is still curly by the end of the day. I do not notice any irritation; it is contact lense user friendly. It dries quickly, and does not leave any residue behind. I love the longer, natural look. The RevitaLash mascara does not clump, and look! Just one coat will result in this:

Overall, I see excellent results after using these two products for just 4 weeks, which is what we pay for - RESULTS! I would recommend this to people who wish to grow longer, volumizing lashes over time.

I also wanted to mention that the company is very philanthropic, they give back to the community - such as to several organizations dedicated to breast cancer community. Always a plus in my book :]

Well, what are your thoughts on eyelash growing products? Is there an effective one that you have tried? Please do share!

Review: Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum

Remember last month when I mentioned the Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum? Well, I've tested it for 4 weeks, and here are my thoughts.


What is it? 

• High-tech formula visibly enhances natural lash growth while providing the instant definition of a liquid eyeliner, in one easy step.
• Lash boosting complex targets the root of lashes where it is most effective in providing nutrients associated with growing long, thick lashes.

Retail Price: $10.95

My Thoughts:
I was very skeptical when I bought this product, because of the price, but I saw the "try me free" sign, so I thought... why not? I used this product every single day for four weeks straight, and I am impressed it! The packaging is very informative, which includes before and after pictures. The eyeliner is silver and looks really sleek. The brush part is pointed and easy to work with; it is more of a soft brush than a felt pen. I was able to draw a winged out line with ease. I'm a contact lens wearer, and it does not bother my eyes, or make them itch at all. However, the brush sort of tickles my lids while applying.  You need to apply  it ABOVE your lashes, not under it. It stays on all day, without smudging or smearing (tested it without a primer on my super oily lids). I wear it for over 8 hours a day, and at the end of the day, it looks the same as it did when I first applied it. After wearing winged liquid eyeliner for a month, I am extremely satisfied with it. I do see longer and curlier lashes - not so much in volume, but in length. It is available in 3 shades, as well as a clear color. I think Physicians Formula did a wonderful job with this one, as it targets the root of the lashes. During this one month, I did not wear any other lash growing product, just this. Here's some pictures from before, after two weeks, and after four weeks.

Would I recommend this?
Yes, It works! I think I've actually gotten better at applying liquid eyeliner too :] I'm going to be picking up the clear one to wear at night time.

If you guys missed my post on how to try this for FREE, read this post here. Edited: I just recieved my rebate check today!

Think you will give it a try?

I really enjoy reading all the comments you left, especially on my resolutions post. I haven't had a chance to follow up and read your resolutions yet, but I will be doing that today. I received alot of encouragement about the false lashes; I think I'm the last person on earth to try these, LOL. I wanted to ask what's a good, affordable brand of false lashes that you guys have tried? Something good for newbies and also not too crazy looking!

The other thing I wanted to mention was that I get many comments saying that you do not living in the US and may not be able to get ahold of certain deals or products here. I just want to throw it out there that maybe we can do a SWAP! I'll get a couple of US drugstore products for you, and in return, you get a couple of drugstore products for me from your country, and we'll mail the items to each other. If any of you are interested at all, leave me a comment below, or send me an email at sihuivice[at]yahoo[dot]com and let's see what we can work out! If you guys have had success with beauty swaps on a different website, maybe you can leave me a recommendation too?

You guys ROCK!

XOXO :]
