LiLash ARRIVED!! :)

Sorry all! It took about 1 month for the stuff to get here... I ordered from Powderrooms.com... They actually have a few Dianne Brill stuff and other cute things on their website so check it out...even the baby clothes are very cute!!! :)

Anyway, I guess because I placed the order so close to the holidays and it being a smaller company...also I travelled back to Hungary for 12 days.. (and of course it arrived the same day, like 30 minutes after leaving for the airport)...so it was just a whole "production" to get it.

BUT I have it! Finally!! :)

I also got a little makeup bag with it...no big deal..it's so small it literally can fit maybe 2 pencils and/or lipstick/ lipgloss.

First thing I did, and suggest it to everyone buying "skin care" products ( YES, I classify LiLash as "skin care" as well...you apply it to your lash line, not the lashes, so it is penetrating the SKIN and from there it works it's magic on the follicles of the lashes...) to READ THROUGH the information booklet that comes with the product, then save the ingredient list and the address of where the product is made. It may sound psycho, but I like to know the ingredients of what I am putting on my body, I also like to research them! This is also important because if you ever find you have ANY discomfort or irritation you may be able to find out which ingredient is causing it... The address info is important, because if you have any SEVERE side effects you will want to know EXACTLY who to contact! Be aware of these things, there are many products out on the market these days using XYZ chemicals...make sure you are protected and know who to contact in case ( God forbid ) something goes wrong!

So after stashing that info in a safe place, I checked out the product, which looks exactly like a liquid eye liner, except it contains a serum.
It is a true serum, in the sense that it absorbs like a very fine textured water based serum, NOT at all gel like or sticky. I was very curious about the texture, because I watched a bunch of videos on YouTube of LiLash users, and they almost all said they used it in the morning...I didn't understand that, because the were able to apply their eye makeup after it and the two wouldn't effect each other in any way. Now that I see and feel the texture, it totally makes sense. It absorbs beautifully and doesn't leave any type of residue.

I have been using it for 3 days now ( just applied it last about an hour ago ). I have not noticed any side effects, no reddening of the eyes, no irritating sensation, no redness of the skin...nothing. (Which is great because I have quite sensitive skin and eyes... for example I can not to eyelash tinting either, I am allergic to it...my eyes water from aloe vera gel, tea tree oil ...etc.) There is (possibly, if it's not just my mind playing tricks on me) have noticed one strange thing. I feel like my lashes are heavy (-er)...especially if I put mascara on...kind of like when you put on false lashes... it isn't painful or irritating...I just feel my lashes... kind of strange but..whatever..no big deal!

When applying I variate the starting point..meaning the first day I started from inner corner to outer, second day outer to inner, today (day 3 ) inner to outer..tomorrow outer to inner...and so on and so forth...
In one video, one of the women said she heard you get more even results this way.
I am NOT going to apply it 2 times a day, just once every morning, as I don't even want to risk getting any irritation... (many users who did this said their eyes where irritated a bit)
Also NOT going to apply it to the lower lash line. I don't want to do anything different to the instructions or get too much product on the eye area...it's probably a waste and more possible to have it go in your eye.

Results are supposedly noticeable differently for everyone...some people say they see results within the first month others need up to even two...
To keep things realistic, I am NOT going to write my own observations ( I mean I will try not to ), but I will post weekly photo updates so you can see for yourself...
Here are a few photos so far...

Ingredients and other important info off the box
Complementary Makeup Bag ( I have also my Lierac Anti Wrinkle eye cream in there too..)
Lashes with mascara day 1 (BEFORE USING LiLash!) By the way, I have TARTE "Gifted" mascara on and I LOVE IT! :) (Check previous post for lashes with NO mascara)

Okay, so that's about it for now...if I have any other observations, or any side effects I'll write a post about it...Otherwise expect a 1 week update on wednesday... :)

Have a great New Years everyone!
