Super-long lashes are one of the holy grails of beauty, and if we can get them without false lashes or mascara? Well, so much the better. Maybe.
A new drug called Latisse has just been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and claims to give users longer lashes. The active ingredient was apparently originally used to treat glaucoma, but once the manufacturers realised it had the not unwelcome side-effect of making lashes grow, they clearly spotted a money-making opportunity and jumped on it.
The drug will be available in the US from March, and will cost around $120 per month. Side effects include itchy eyelids and redness around the lid, but it may also make the hair on your head grow faster, too.
So, what does everyone think of this? Would you take medication to make your eyelashes grown longer, or will you be sticking with the falsies and the mascara?

Sounds great…but are there any side effects? Like I find it hard to believe that there is a medication that makes only your eyelashes grow, but hey maybe it does. Thats like saying there is a medication that targets only stomach fat…which is impossible because you cant lose weight in only one place on your body. I dont know if i would use this because my eyelashes are pretty long already. But i think its worth a try for those who are lacking in that dept.
Well, as stated, they claim the side effects can include itching and redness on the eyelid. I guess time will probably tell if there are any others! I’m like you, and a bit skeptical about it, to be honest!
Looks nice, But it is a bit wired
