I've been using this for four weeks now and think it's about time I review it.

Product Review: L'Oreal Lash Boosting Serum

Where to purchase: ULTA, drugstores, mass merchandiser, and online at lorealparisusa.com

Price: $12.99

Made in USA

Description from the package L'oreal introduces new Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum, our first-ever eyelash serum, with revolutionary pro-keratine complex technology to boost natural lash health with daily use.

With continued use, lash health improves. Lashes appear:

* Fortified

* Nourished

* Strengthened

Direction on the back: Apply at night to bare lashes, or during the day under your mascara.

Start with a clean, dry eye area. Using the curve of the Soft-Touch Applicator, sweep serum onto lashes from root to tip, like a mascara.

Next, glide the applicator tip along the upper lash line, like an eyeliner. Allow serum to dry before applying your mascara.

For Best results, use twice a day before (I CANNOT continue because they put a CVS sticker on top)!!!

Ingredients: I never posted this because I never thought it was that important. I realized how wrong I was. Knowing that I'm allergic to the chemical oxybenzone or any of the benzone family in sunscreen and SPF products, I realized how important it is to know your ingredients... hehe~ I'll be doing this from now on!

My thoughts: I've tried serum in the past, as well as, olive oil. Yup, olive oil! All the results seem to be the same, just slight thickness in my lashes. I even tried Yu-Be Moisturizing Cream because I heard it increases the length of your lashes (click here to read my review). For that reason, I didn't have high hopes for this but believe a miracle could happen one day. I did not notice any length in my lashes but I did happen to notice thickness from my before and after picture which I will post towards the end of the review. I give it a thumbs up for the boost of thickness. For length, it's a definitely thumbs down. Then again it said to apply twice a day. I only applied it at nights before I went to sleep. The only reason why I didn't apply in the morning is because my lashes were soaked with the serum. It's hard to curl and apply mascara afterwards. The soaked lashes from the serum weighed my lashes when I curled and applied mascara. I could wait for it to dry but it takes a long time to dry. I'm just impatient. That might be a possibility why it didn't work that well.

It's also time consuming at nights. I already put a lot of products on my skin; cleanse, tone, serum, eye cream, and then moisturize. I don't want to add another step like this. Okay I admit it I'm lazy! Plus I think it's kind of costly unless you got it in a good deal like I did.

Pros:
* From a brand, L'oreal, I trust especially their HIP line.

* Curved Soft-Touch applicator.

* Thickness of lashes.

* Slight boost.

Cons:
* From a brand, L'oreal, I don't trust.

* Costly, $12.99.

* Didn't give length.

* Extra step in you night care.

Would repurchase: Maybe.

Here's the picture of the applicator. It's a Soft-Touch which is completely comfortable to use. You use it like a mascara then apply it to the top of the lashes so you have serum on the bottom, as well as, on the top.

Now I'm going to post my before and after picture. You can be the judge of my lashes.

This past week I bought another Revlon ColorBurst lipstick in #040 Soft Rose (click here to see Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Nude).

I kept hearing great things about this color and knowing how easily I'm influenced, I got it. The picture makes the color much prettier in person than it really is or at least I think so. It's much redder in person compared to the rose color in the picture.

For some odd reason, the swatch of the color is sheerer than in person too. :/ Maybe I didn't swatch a lot of color. I don't know... lol~ Anyways, I decided to go return this because it just doesn't look good on me. I cannot pull off bright colored lipsticks. I've been told by close friends bright colored lipsticks are ugly on me!... lol~ I even had a makeup artist say, "How about this color (brings a lighter one)"... lol~

I'm going to end with a picture of Tobey.

I thought this picture was funny! Patrick the doll is on top of Tobey and he doesn't even do anything about it. Tobey is either lazy like his older sister, me, or he likes Patrick on top of him.
