Thanks for the heads up, just shows how careful we need to be.

Be careful when using that stuff, B man.

I like those gigantic eyelashes that women drivers can put atop the headlights in their cars.

Bloody hell…same symptoms described in the class action lawsuit. 
For a split second , I was hoping you had filed the lawsuit.

The defendant also fails to mention that ICP can cause clumps of hair, brows and lashes to “completely fall out instead of grow,” the suit claims. 

It looks like the plaintiff, Genna Ribak, dismissed her lawsuit. 😕 But there is a new one, and I will follow it. Thank you!

Sometimes it is best not to take makeup hype at face value, literally. Having read several articles and multiple reviews online of the lash-growing serum GrandeLash, I got a deluxe sample to see what it could do for me. I have light brown lashes, and I thought maybe a little more density and length could make mascara less of a need. 

 

Well.

 

I used it one time -- one time! -- six weeks ago, before I read an article written by an eye doctor warning that the prostaglandin in the product can turn light eyes (green, blue, hazel) permanently darker. For that alone, I stopped use immediately. But that was only the beginning of my problems. First my left eyelid got swollen along the upper lash line, then my eye got goopy. I gave my eye a good wash and that helped, but mild swelling and discoloration has been waning and waxing for weeks. However the worst side effect is that an entire inch-long chunk of my lashes is just gone. Weirdest thing is that on that eye, the lashes that remain ARE thicker and longer, but on the other side, normal as always. Horrible. Supposedly the lashes will grow back but this is so, so weird. Luckily no one notices because of my judicious used of brown eyeliner and mascara, which give the illusion that the lashes are intact.

 

Lucky to get away with my eyes still green.

How are your eyes doing?

Lashes are slowly growing back one month on. I still occasionally feel and see a little irritation on both eyelids, and occasionally get bloodshot eyes out of nowhere. Such a disaster.

Twenty lashes (or 40, 80, or whatever is normal) to you, LL ma'am.

Some people's eyes naturally resemble orbs of very lean bacon, LL ma'am.

Crossing my fingers that the side effects go away soon.  I feel it's even worse because of the false information about the product, infuriating that they did that

ANy thoughts on Maybelline? They seem to be going after the more hirsute ladies.

[laylalex 7,284]

Maybelline/Revlon/Cover Girl have been working with male/nonbinary folks for quite a while in their campaigns. I mean, if people want to buy makeup, why not sell it to them?

[Boiler 45,443]

Not sure this is focussed on Male cosmetics.

 

Well that was not the vibe I got.

 

I agree it is time that bearded ladies have their time in the sun.

Or at the circus, as used to be.

Just dropping in to report that my eyelashes are finally coming back in. And I have to laugh because they ARE actually thicker than before.  100% still would not recommend.
