I looked on the website and it wasn't there. Weird, eh? Has it been working for your sister? Yes she said it has been. So I was thinking I should get some. Please let me know how you like it and how successful it has been for you! I would love to find out. I find Latisse to be drying in the corners of my eyes. That said, I am excited to see if it works. I have really short eyelashes and so does my entire family. I really want this to work!! |

As I've aged My lashes have become more sparse. The Latisse REALLY has helped! I tyoically use it twice a day and a bottle ($130-something at Costco) lasts me almost two months. This is why I'm looking at it. I don't need any on my brows. I was glad they got a little sparse, but now I have to wear mascara if you want to see any lashes. Do you need a Rx for Latisse? Yes. I asked my eye doctor for it last year at my annual exam. I had to come back a month after I started using it to have my eyes rechecked to make sure I was not having any adverse reaction. I'm due for my annual exam again, so I doubt they'll authorize many more refills for me until I get back in. |

Hi I have been using Latisse for exactly 6 days. The technician who gave me the Rx said I might notice a couple of lashes and may need to trim them if they get too long. I am not there yet, but I have noticed a difference. They do feel different and kind of longer if that makes any sense. They were so short before that you could hardly see them. Now they are almost visible  |

Delta Dawn, thanks for letting us know that you're having good results. I'm torn as to whether to try R+F lash boost, as the lady at church is trying to get her business going or asking the eye dr. for a latisse rx.

I'm torn as to whether to try R+F lash boost, as the lady at church is trying to get her business going or asking the eye dr. for a latisse rx. There are plenty of Peas who are having good luck with R+F so there's that. They told me at the Dr's office that Latisse blew everyone out of the water. (Maybe because they are selling it, too?  ) I would go with whichever is cheaper for you. If you have a friend/acquaintance at church you like you could go with her. I don't have experience with both so I don't know which I would go with. |

I know it's only a week later but I have nice growth right in the middle of my eyelash line and the lashes there are a lot longer. I don't mean long long but definitely there is growth there (more since last week). I am very pleased. What I plan to do is do this twice a day for 2 months and then say 3x week forever more. They should reach full length in 2 months and then I should be good for a while. I am pretty psyched about this! When you had nothing, and you worked at something to get anything this is success! I am pretty excited about the whole process to be honest!

I have been using the R&F one for about six weeks and I have noticed a difference. I used mascara for the first time since I started the enhancer and all I can say is WOW.

Here's where a lot of gals on Makeupalley buy their Careprost. The site used to be called MG Storefront: thebeautybliss.com/Have you ordered from this site? If it's legit, I think I'll order a couple sets. It's way cheaper! |

Hi we are 3 weeks in to this treatment now and I wanted to post an update. From what I was told, correct me if I am wrong, eyelashes are in 3 phases: the growing phase, the resting phase, and the shedding phase. I was told I would see some growth as not all eyelashes are in the same phase at the same time (of course). The technician told me that the serum would work on the eyelashes in the growth phase and they would be longer and possibly darker than the other ones. Yes! They are!!! They are amazing. I don't have tons in the growth phase but they are definitely longer. When they get to be too long (I looked at her as if too long was even a possibility) she said I could trim them so they'd all be the same length. I am pretty psyched about my results for sure!

If you do this one, be really careful so you don't get powder in your eye. Powder with talc is not good for you. |

I've ordered careprost twice from the site linked above. No issues at all and my lashes and brows look fantastic. It took about 6 weeks to notice a real difference. The bottles look very small but one lasts me about 3-4 months.

Lancôme Lash primer and their mascara are great. Been seeing a lot of lash enhancer from Mary Kay on Instagram.

It took about 6 weeks to notice a real difference. The bottles look very small but one lasts me about 3-4 months. I would have bought from either of these if I had had easy access. R&F costs the same Canadian for me as Latisse does. (Within a couple of dollars). If Careprost shipped to Canada that, too, would have been an option. I just picked the easiest of the 3 to get to. I am not all "LATISSE, BABY!!!" |

R & F has really worked for me! I started using it in April and didn't see results for 6 weeks. I am still on my first tube. I highly recommend. I am 53 and my lashes have always been short and sparse. They are now long and filled in. I have started using it every other day for maintentence. Highly recommend!!

I also liked that I could Amazon pay and not put my info into the site. Thanks! |

There is a Careprost site now for Canada. I don't know when that happened. It's $79 Canadian??? That is totally reasonable and I plan to get some once I run out of this. That just makes sense if others are having luck with it. This is so cool!

Oh this is interesting. I have time on my hands and was reading some reviews and there are about 194 of them. All were 5* and many said better than Latisse. That is very interesting. The cost is what gets me. It is $74.99 Canadian plus tax and shipping which is $94.99 and that is still less than half of Latisse. I am ordering tomorrow!

I ordered from Careprost Canada and the cost while 1/4 of what Latisse is, it is still double what you pay in the US. We don't have much choice. Regardless, I want to try it and compare and I only have a bit of Latisse left. I hope I get good results from it. I ordered yesterday and not sure when it will be here. Will let you know when I start using it.

My order of Careprost arrived on Friday- shipping was pretty fast. I still have some R + F left (and it's working) so I'll save this for when that's gone.

Upon doing my mascara today, I found that my eyelashes are significantly easier to apply mascara to. That means they lengthen and thicken much easier. I am not talking like I have huge growth from Latisse right now, but I do have enough to notice a very nice difference in application. I am now at a month's time.
I bought some Neo Strata Lash Enhancer Serum (it was on sale and I had a coupon, too) and I will try this next I think. My GP recommends this brand.
I will just keep using the Latisse until I run out. I am very happy with my results so far. This is going to be a lifetime thing for me, but it's so easy and very worth it.

I got an Rx from the eye doctor. When I went to fill the it at the pharmacy it was $150. I said no thanks, can I have the Rx back. I then searched for cheaper places to get it. I found a coupon card that worked at walmart's pharmacy. I filled it there with the print-off card for $54. I was thinking I'd buy R&F from the lady at church if it was $150, because that's what the R&F runs. But at $54, I'll save the money. I just started using it Monday evening. I'm excited to see what happens.

I'm excited to see what happens. Generic Latisse at my local pharmacy is $75 (Canadian so a lot less US) and I will pursue it once my Neo Strata runs out. I am not paying $200 from the cosmetic surgeon (so approximately $150 US) because I believe there are other good products out there. This will sound weird but I met with the technician at the surgeon's office and she sold me the box. That's odd as it is an Rx, right? I didn't see the doctor for even a second. She is able to dispense this medication because the doctor said so. Odd, eh? |

Delta Dawn, both of my costs were for the generic. I'd hate to see the price for the brand name.

Hi well this is worth an update. I did my eyelashes today and they are long. They look great, too.
My research (Youtube videos, of course) tell me that *any* of the products out there seem to work really well. I don't see any advantage in using Latisse any longer when cheaper products exist.
Costco has a two pack of Rapid Lash on their website and it's $70. I have heard tons of great things about it and the users were very happy with their results. As good as Latisse.
I also heard about another brand and it worked. I bought some NeoStrata and I will be trying it next when the Latisse is all gone. It was much cheaper (I had a coupon) and I am looking forward to using it.
I am at week 6 and honestly I have eyelashes now. For someone who grew up with nothing to use for eye lashes I have to say this is amazing!
No brand is seems to be better than another. Go figure.

Delta Dawn, super excited for you with your new long lashes. I'm about 2 weeks into the latisse generic. I think I can see a bit of a difference. I've missed about 3 nights of putting it on just forgetting as I was too tired to think those nights.
