My Love Affair with Latisse


Allergan, the drug maker that brought us Botox is at it again! The company has a new FDA-approved drug called Latisse that can be used to grow longer, lusher eyelashes.

At around week three or four I started to see the first really long ones. I began using Latisse around seven weeks ago. Every once and awhile I missed a night but my results are truly amazing. My boyfriend always had really long lashes but now he can’t stop commenting that mine are longer and thicker than his.

As far as side effects go. I have dark eyes so I can’t comment on the (slight) possibility of blue eyes turning brown but I can tell you that the only thing that happened was that my eyes itched just a tiny bit for the first day. After that I didn’t notice anything.

Latisse contains the same prostaglandin analog that is found in Allergan’s Lumigan, an eye drop treatment for glaucoma. Latisse just might be the biggest thing to hit the cosmetic medicine market since well—uh— Botox!
