A special post for Katalina Leon and all us eyelash-challenged girls.
Have you noticed how guys and horses have long, lovely lashes while a lot of us females drew the short end of the stick? We’re stuck with stubby, raggedy, sparse lashes. There is an answer to the eyelash conundrum. Actually, I’ve found two solutions to my problem.
First solution - My aesthetician dyes my eyelashes once a month. Makes them look darker and thicker. No need for mascara. The cost? $10.00.
Second solution - My aesthetician gave me a sample of a solution similar to Latisse, but without the potential side effects of eyelid darkening and eye color change. Like Latisse, you apply it to your upper lash line once a day, at bedtime. She wanted me to try it, to see what I thought about it, to determine if it was worth recommending to other clients. It totally works. Not only has it made my lashes thicker, I used it to fill in a thin spot in the middle of one eyebrow. Lashes, LTD, by SkinBlends.com. It’s my second solution because I’m so bad about remembering to apply the stuff.
The sample tube has lasted me seven months and I have a lot left. I’m an awful skeptic, so I was very surprised the stuff worked. Of course when I have to actually pay for it, chances are I won’t. But just so ya know…

I’m glad you were able to find two solutions and were able to share with all your readers.
I have worked hard on false eyelashes but my hands have shaken so much over the past few years that I am lucky I can still see from the trying.
You don’t seem like a aesthetician user - so natural and naturally gorgeous.

Ah, Steph, but if I’m gorgeous (LOL) I owe it all to my Nazi aesthetician. She whips my skin into shape. I’m not kidding! She was recommended by a former neighbor - a woman who has the most amazing skin. I was in awe of her and when I mentioned how incredible her skin was, she told me her secret - Tammy, the Nazi aesthetician!
I’m with you Julia, I’m willing to make an effort for my skin. I’m finding less is more and natural products are better.
I love the European aesthetic that a confident woman who has a sense of personal style and takes care of her skin is beautiful-period. No questions asked.
Luckily a dear friend of mine has owned our town’s best skin care salon for years. I trade services with her, so I get to try a little bit of everything new, and write reviews about it. About five weeks ago I was gifted a Peter Thomas Roth, “Lashes to Die For Platinum” kit. Its another lash product like Latisse minus the staining pigments that migrate into the dermis and iris (Yikes! who wants that?) The stuff’s not cheap, its going to be painful to replace it when I run out, but I think its working…
My lost lashes are making a comeback. Once upon a time I had great lashes thick and long but those days are over.
A word to the wise. Unless you have a strong reason to do so, avoid the permanent lashes that are applied with surgical glue. Yes, they last but when they go they often take a natural lash with them and… drum roll please…. a natural eyelash takes at least nine months to fully grow in, and as we get older the follicle lies dormant longer before it even sends out a new lash.
