I’ve never really thought about my eyelashes before. I didn’t think they were lush or sparse, just average, and I liked how they looked with a couple coats of Dior black mascara. But when I saw a TV commercial for L’Oreal Lash Boosting Serum, it caught my attention, and I had to give it a go.

Price: $11.96 at drugstore.com

According to the instructions on the package and the video I watched at the L’Oreal website, I’d notice thicker, fuller, healthier lashes after four weeks. I applied the Serum in the morning and again at night right before bed, and within just one week, I noticed I wasn’t losing lashes when I was removing my eye make-up anymore. The next week, I noticed my lashes were so thick, I didn’t need to wear. My lashes were dark, thick, and long enough already, and when I wore mascara, they were so long, they got stuck in my eyebrows… who ever thought eyelashes could be too long? I prefer not to wear mascara, since it’s hard to wash off, so I’m loving having long lashes.

The Lash Boosting Serum is easy to apply. In the morning, after washing your face, apply your moisturizer like usual, then run the wand over your lashes as though you were applying mascara, then run the tip of the applicator across your upper lash line. Wait for it to dry, then apply your eye make-up as usual. At night, after washing off your eye make-up, wait for your lashes to dry, then apply the Serum again. According to the L’Oreal website, 81% of women saw an improvement in their lashes after four weeks… and I’m one of them.

Once you stop using the Serum, your lashes will return to normal, which is brilliant, actually, for L’Oreal. You’ll love your new lashes so much, you won’t ever want to stop using it, and since it’s very reasonably priced, you’ll be happy to keep buying it. Believe me, this Lash Boosting Serum works… and I’m going to keep buying it, using it, and loving it.
