LASH MIRACLE?

As a beauty editor friends are always asking me what I think about the new lash growing potions.

Colleagues in the States have used Latisse, a prescription only product which does deliver spectacular results (but conversely has rare side effects of darkening of your lids or making your irises brown).

In the UK you can get a similar product from Mylash.org. Beauty editor mates have raved about this also. At dinner a few nights ago yet another beauty doyenne was praising RevitaLash, a ‘cosmetic’ (i.e. not considered a drug) treatment. Her lashes were fuller and longer and she was very pleased.

But if all that sounds like too much hassle a pair of Shu Uemura lash curlers used diligently works miracles too.

Stylist reviews Mylash

Mylash is offering a consultations for individuals that wish to grow their eyelashes longer, thicker and darker. Anyone who has heard of Latisse UK  – the revolutionary lash lengthener that’s only available on prescription will also know its incredibly hard to get a hold of outside the US. Not any more….  Down some narrow steps at the back of a make up salon on a quiet backstreet in Londons’ Knightbridge, lash expert Sue Marsh is now organising Mylash, an identical substance to Latisse with exactly the same active ingredient – bimatoprost, which works by stimulating prostaglanding receptors in hair and increasing the follicle activity – and exactly the same results.  Complete the online consultation and, if suitable, you will receive treatment in the post.

Time to anti-age your eyelashes

You may not want to know this — so shut your eyes now! — but if your hair is going grey, there’s worse to come. Your eyelashes may be starting to turn grey, too. It’s perfectly natural: the hair follicles from which they grow just give up on producing melanin, the pigment that gives them their colour, though it doesn’t usually happen before your hair is grey. And going grey isn’t the only thing we have to worry about. Thanks to changing hormone levels, lashes naturally thin as we get older, too. This leaves us with less definition around the eyes and can make us look more tired. You could resort to just piling on extra mascara — but if you want something more permanent, there’s plenty you can do to counteract it. In fact, there’s a bewildering array of options to improve the way your lashes look. Here’s our pick of the treatments that can really make a difference . . .

The claim: One drop of MyLash applied nightly along the lashline is meant to give 25 percent longer, 106 percent thicker and 18 percent darker lashes. The verdict: After clocking a barmaids full and fluttery set (of lashes!), she tells me it’s all thanks to MyLash , so I decide a road test is in order. She was onto something: it’s crazily effective. After just one application, I notice a difference the next morning. Who Magazine, November 2014. Written by: Suzanne Scott
