  • There are some issues most people don't think about before using Latisse. I don't wear fake lashes ever, when my lashes grew, my eyes felt heavy and awkward. My lashes started at 0.4cm and are now 0.7cm after one week then I started doing the maintenance routine. Now it looks like I actually have eyelashes. It looks super natural and better than before when I wore mascara. I'm sure I can make one bottle last longer than someone using it 6 weeks straight before maintenance phase. Hope that helps.

  • @DyslexicN3rd what did you do for your lashes to grow??

  • @msfamouslopez01 Sorry, I wasn't very clear, but I'm using Latisse. I got a free sample (a 3 ml bottle) from my ophthalmologist's office. I would pay full price for it though, because the look I want is not as dramatic as most people want. I can make the 3 ml last me along time, possibly 4+ months. Also I have bad allergies. The lifespan of eyelash extensions for me is really short because I'm always rubbings my eyes. I love Latisse, but it may not be what you're looking for. Goodluck!

  • Where the heck to you get your lash extensions!?!? I pay $35 for them ALWAYS.

  • I love your hair so much and your hair color. Did you get it done from a salon or drug store??

  • correct dosage one bottle last 6 weeks! get lumigan £19....includes shipping just saying lol

  • buy lumigan its the SAME THING!! Search realself .com and look it up

  • I have tried something called lash factor MD my mom had picked this up for me because i was telling her that i wanted to try latisse but my eye brows are very thin too and the cool thing about the lash factor MD is that it has a side to help your eyebrows grow and a side for your lash i have been trying it out for about two months and i really like it my eyebrows are coming back in places that i havent had hair grow in years so you might want to give it a try you can get it from HSN and its $30

  • Bimatoprost is supposed to be the new generic of Latisse and it's $30 a bottle.

  • Anastasia has a brow serum that a girl I knew used on her lashes and she had amazing lashes. Maybe try that one? It is close to 50 dollars but seems to be a better alternative for people who can't go to the dermatologist or don't want to wait 6 months to get in to see one.

  • I love your eyeshadow look today. While I was watching your video I was hoping you were going to share what you had on. So pretty I'm going to buy them. Thanks for sharing & Love ALL your videos. Tracie

  • You should try fixx from market america ! Lashes grow longer and thicker in a month & its much cheaper than latisse !

  • Hi there...has anyone tried using latisse for their eyebrows? I have really thin over plucked eyebrows that will not grow back and someone said latisse will help them grow back...anyone??

  • Have you tried Rivitalash (sp?)? It is similar to Latisse but it comes in a mascara tube and lasts forever. It's around $100 but totally worth it cause it lasts for close to a year.

  • The one thing that scares me about latisse is that in the commercial and description it says it can cause pigment darkening of the eyes. i have really light blue eyes and i would be pretty disappointed if they changed colors. also $120 haha no.

  • Hi Marlena! There is a generic brand called Careprost and it's only $10.

  • that is a rip off.

  • Hey Marlena,

    I am not sure if u know but physicians formula has a similar product but A LOT cheaper. I forgot the name, but trust me it works! I tried it for about 1.5 mths and my lashes were longer. It comes in clear or black

    liner pen.:)

  • @Mousey2381 Really? ;O What's the brand name? (:

  • hey makeupgeek i just wanna say that a cheap alternative to using latisse is using vitamin e pills and breaking them open and putting the gel on your lashes. in just 3 weeks my lashes were sooo long it was insane! from the pictures you posted it looked like the after in just 3 weeks! it was insane i absolutly loved it and it worked so so so well!

  • @ccccoolbeans Thank you for that tip im gonna try it! May i ask did you just soak it on your eye with a cotton pad or something? how long did u leave the E on there?x

  • Please please tutorial on this look

  • i wanted to let you know i have been using latisse for a while and if you buy just a regular eyeliner brush and one drop of latisse on the eyeliner brush it will cover both eyes. One bottle last me close to 4 months and i have been doing this for two yrs now everyday. Averaged out thats just $30 a month. I get compliments all the time on my eyelashes now. The little applicators they give you wastes all that product and like i said the diff is one month vs four months!!!!

  • I found when you did the individual dura-lashes in your valentine look, your lashes looked just as beautiful, frankly.

  • @Mousey2381 whats the name of the generic brand where can we get it i would love to try it

  • Hi Marlena, I was kinda confused on your overall opinion but I was wondering if you knew of a product that was less expensive, that you've tried and had great results with? I'm in college and 120 dollars for a bottle like that is just not on my budget.

  • Hi, Marlena..there is a generic for this and it is only $10. I've been using it for 11 weeks and lashes have gotten longer :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Mousey2381 what's it called?

  • no, def. your brows are tooo thin. and too harsh.

  • @NecatorNimrod what are you talking about? her brows are hella pretty.i love them

  • Oooh and Rapidlash- seems to work for people! I haven't tried it but I heard it's a cheaper Latisse dupe.

  • Hi Marlena- Gorgeous Look! Have you done a tut on it? If not- I would love that! I'm brown eyed and afraid of blue but it's gorgeous on you. :) Take care and thanks for the vid's! <3

  • I love you Marlena! You are so stunning and your videos are so fun and helpful. :) This eye look is amaaazing! xxx

  • Have you tried Lilash?  Isn't it similar?

  • I LOVE my lashes looooong, and i asked my mom about latisse, she is an eye doctor and informed me that most serums that are to make eyelashes grow and get thicker/darken aslo makes your eyebrows darker and thicker, and will eventually make your eye lids and under lower lashes extremely dark as if youve had no sleep. and can actually start to make the iris of your eye darker as well, if you have brown eyes it will be harder to notice but if you have pretty bright blue or green youll deff see.

  • I've never tried latisse, but I understand the $120 thing. I had an ear infection and I had to pay $120 for the same size bottle of ear drops. Ridiculous

  • I was at the dermatologist last week and they had a pamphlet there about Latissee. They said after you use it your lashes will go back to how they were before you used it. What a total bummer !

  • I've been always wanting to try this , thanks for the info :)

  • usually if you ask the pharmacist what is the generic brand is the will tell you the name of it so that way you dont have to pay full price for the name brand..

  • I used the lloreal? think that's how you spell it, lash serum. It's in all drugstores, think it's under $20 too. It worked for me. I pulled a bunch of my lashes when i was taking off my mascara one night and i looked freaky with no lashes lol but i used the mascara with the serum in it and then the actual serum at night on clean lashes. I felt like it worked for me. And it's waaaay cheaper! :)

  • Love your make up!

  • i wouldnt pay one cent

  • Love the shadows! We need a tutorial please ma'am!!

  • try rapid lash!!!its only $49.99 but sometimes you can find it at costco 2 for $50. When I first used it after 3 months i was getting so many compliments and everybody always thought I was wearing fake lashes but really I only wore like 2 coats of mascara. I got length, volume and thickness. I've convinced so many friends and family to use it, it is part of their nightly routine. Now since i don't use it as often they are not as full but it if you stick to it everynight it WILL deliver results!!

  • Love ur makeup in this one...very pretty! :-)

  • i know you probably hear this all the time, but let me just say again that you are GORGEOUS. drop dead gorgeous.

  • They actually do have an alternative and it's a lash and eyebrow growth from the false lashes brand ardell it's fairly cheap which runs about 15 dollars and they sell it at target :) also they have a similar one at sallys thats the same one from ardell for 46 but the one from target does a good job either way!

  • you are gorgeous!

  • my mums a plastic surgery doctor and she gets this for free :)

  • u mentioned lash extensions as an alternative to this. can u do a vid talking about ur experience with them. ive read that its bad to wear make up with them and that its bad to wash off ur eye make up because the lashes fall out etc. but id love to hear ur take on it.

    and pleaseeeee do a tutorial on this look. thanks so much

  • Castor oil gives excellent results for a 6 dollars per bottle ( 8 oz) and its a natural emollient. I started noticing my lashes growing after just one week of using it nightly.

  • love your make up!

  • pleaaase do a tutorial for this eyeshadow look!!!!!!!!!!

  • love the eyeshadows!

  • Love the makeup in this video! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

  • what is that gre/blu eyeshadow?!?! your eyes seem green!!! I want it now!!!

  • Can u please do an update after 6mos? I would like to see if the lashes got thicker and not just longer. Thank you

  • Oops sorry, I heard the wrong drug. The correct eye drop is lumigan n not xalatan...

  • Hi Marlene,

    My boyfriend is a pharmacist n he says that the glaucoma eye drop (Xalatan) will do the same as Matisse. He says that that's the side effect of that eye drop but it's just as expensive. Check it out!!!!

  • Love your makeup!!!! Tutorial plz!! :)

  • Your makeup & hair in this video is beautiful!

  • Silk Naturals makes a totally natural lash growth serum for about $8, and it really works! It's a great alternative. :)

  • thanks so much for your honesty on this product!

  • This look is so beautiful on you. I cant wait to get to pick up your new shadows. Thank you for the honest review Marlena!

  • I have used Rapidlash, which is around $40-$50, and had comparable results to a friend of mine who used Latisse. They were long to the point where I had to trim, otherwise they hit my glasses. But when you stop using it, your lashes go back to normal.

  • just saw post below and i was going to say CAREPROST! i just discovered it thru a client of mine who ordered it.

  • There is a generic brand! Careprost... there are reviews on MUA! Just placed my order.

  • Please please make a tutorial of this makeup look!!!

  • Your lashes look really nice, before and after. I recently got lash extensions and I love how they make me look like I'm always done up, even when I'm not. I'm lucky tho.. I kno a girl that does them for way less than $100!

  • you should do a tutorial on  this look!!!!!!!

  • you should use another brush, i use one paint brush ver thin one

  • MAKE UP TUTORIAL PLEEEASE! :)

  • I'm looking into getting lash extensions, and the only salon that I know of in my area charges $200 initially, and $20-60 each visit after. What were the ones that you had called?

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the make up ! :)

  • U look absolutely beautiful in this video....

  • Wow my salon only charges 25 for eye lash extensions...

  • OMG you look amazing in this video!!! You're always beautiful but as soon as I saw you with this hair and makeup I was like good lord she is gorgeous!!!

  • I didn't see that much of a difference in your before and after. Also the one where you had on mascara it look the same as your after pic.

  • the eyeshadows are gorgeous!

  • love the makeup! so beautiful and sultry :) have I overlooked a tutorial?

  • Your makeup looks so pretty

  • dulash!!! i have used it for a year now and it is the most fantastic thing ever. I work at a plastic surgeons office so we get lots of products to try including latisse and nothing has worked like dulash!!! give it a try. you will not be disappointed!

  • Love the eye shadow very pretty 

  • this product DOES turn blue eyes brown. with a ridiculous price and the chance of my eyes changing color just is totally not worth it. but I do have friends with dark eyes who have used Latisse and their lashes look GORGEOUS!

  • Hey there are u ok? U seem a bit down in this video or maybe just a bit flat. Hope all is ok xoxo

  • the Bare Essentials Buxom Lash Liner actually made my lashes grow quiet a bit plus it's a really great cream liner on it's own & it's only $15! Makeup by Tiffany on youtube talked about it in a video once on here....like maybe over a year ago.

  • I love your makeup can u please do a tutorial :)

  • I'd try a product like this but a side effect is it could darken blue eyes and I don't want to risk my eye color!

  • You're so beautiful, I'm jealous!

  • Careprost works fabulously, and it's $10 a bottle!

  • You look extra gorgeous in this video!

  • I gasped when you said $120! You're right; that is ridiculous. You're lashes are fabulous, though (before and after). I just ordered the Urban Decay lash product. I'm crossing my fingers that I have positive results.

  • LOVE your makeup in this video! Tutorial, please!

  • I work for a Ophthalmologist us girls in the office we use Lumigan because we get free samples, Patients who have glaucoma were getting longer lashes so what they did they changed the name and added a brush. the bottle looks exactly the same lol.

  • @prana1978 did you see growth in your bottom lashes?

  • STIMULASHFUSION is the best product, $100 for a 6 month supply, had mine for a year, used it every night for few months, then once a week for up keep, love my lashes, less nasty chemicals then most lash serums and no ANIMAL TESTING xo

  • is it just me or did she said hey monkeys at 00:00?

  • @sorry4beingright She said Hey Muggies -> MUG= Make-up Geek

  • another thing you can use to grow your lashes is castor oil.

  • @98lagrod as well as eyebrows :)

  • I started on Latissa on September 6th and I was able to make my bottle last until December 6th and I've noticed a huge difference. I keep my eye out on all the local plastic surgeons for Latissa specials.

  • @Grace410 And, I used it every day.

  • Makeup tutoriaal please!!!!!ahhh

  • Rapid Lash, used to be $60 it's not only like $39 at Ulta. And unlike Latisse, your lashes don't stop growing when you're done using it! I personally like the Cargo mascara infused with biotin, that works amazingly. Also, Too Faced Cosmetics makes a clear night serum and a liquid liner infused with the serum for day use. My favorite is probably the Smashbox Lash Perfector.

    I'm surprised you haven't heard of any of these!!

  • @electronicuhh

    Seriously? Thats awesome. Ill have to try that out! Haah :)

  • generic's been out for a while, it's a .3% bitamaprost solution, google it! (since youtube won't let me post a link :z)

  • My friend bought it n she had a allergic reaction!!!  Blah!

  • love ur eyeshadow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • Hello ....

    Your videos are excellent, very good advice ....

    .

    I subscribe to your. chain

    kiss ...... Karen (FRANCE)

    

  • The effective thing in it is EXACTLY THE SAME with the drug dealing with Glaucoma, which retails for A LOT LESS(only differs in % concentration). Growing lashes was actually one of the side effects of that drug.

  • your eye makeup in this video is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!! :)

  • once you stop they go away.

  • I don't understand why women are so into these lash-growth serums. Personally, most of the results I have seen look too long and spidery and just plain creepy-looking, and as you said Marlena, price-wise this is RIDICULOUS for something that only lasts a month or so. I would rather pay $10 for a good plumping/lengthening drugstore mascara, then a few extra dollars for some fake lashes which I can use whenever I need to add extra drama. All the same, I do appreciate your experience/review :)

  • they looked fine befor :/

  • @xtrmextine I know it may not happen for everyone but I did hear there was a risk of it. If there's any issue with dropping it directly in your eye, then I would think it's not really safe to have around your eyes in general. But that's just my opinion. I know a lot of people who use Latisse and it was fine for them. I just think there's a risk and it's crazy expensive. Cargo's Lash Activator worked amazingly for my friends and I so I wanted to put it out there.

  • I love how she goes on and on and on about how expensive it is but she plans to continue buying it lol

  • Have you ever heard fo grande lash? it costs about $60

  • your eyeshadow is pretty

  • Have you tried Rapid Lash.

    Lots of people say that castor oil helps make lashes grow. I only noticed less fallout, and the roots are lot stronger by I'm not using it regularly :)

  • Thanks for sharing! I've been wondering about Latisse. Personally, I think I'll stick with the fake eyelashes. $120 (or even $60) a bottle is just too much.

  • lol women wear makeup and perfume because they are ugly and they stink

  • 0_0 $120 dollars a month!!! $120 period for a beauty product period is ridiculous!!

  • women should only wear makeup to cover a black eye.

  • @straighth81 I have a new black eye everyday. (Not really) ;-)

  • Loreal lash boosting serum it's $14 and works wonders o swear by it I uses to curl my lashes and apply three mascaras now I don't curl them and I only use one mascara so it really works

  • one month is nothing does that make one plus one etc nothing

  • thank u!

  • Can you talk about any services you get at the dermatologist? Microdermabrasion, peels, etc?? 

  • BTW, Careprost is only about $15 for the same amount of product.

  • A tip to make this last 4 X's as long... Put a drop in the concave tip on the lid (outside/top) and cut the brushes that comes with it so it's about the thickness of a liquid eyeliner brush (or you can use a clean eyeliner brush). One drop does both eyes using this method. I also use the non-latisse brand ordered from out of the country. I know there is a slight risk, but its the same product and it comes in a perfectly legit box (like lumigan). I've used both latisse and careprost and love it

  • hit transcribe audio on this video. that shit is funny.

  • Your complexion looks flawless. Please do a video on how ur dermotologist helps you out along with your esthetician!! ;)

  • I work in a pharmacy, it takes years for rx's to get generics, instead, why don't you try Lumigan. It's the same thing as Latisse , it may be cheaper. That's what I use for my lashes and I have seen a big difference.

  • @clockfool howmuch?

  • Nice vid. How's your weight loss coming along? Eager to know and need some motivation :)

  • Check out my channel for the christmas GIVEAWAY xxx

  • You are so preeeeeeeetty!!! Eyes, face, hair; girl you got it goin' ON :]

  • I would recommend almay get up and grow mascara. Since I've been using that one I've seen significant results. Better then revlon and rimmel mascaras that are supposed to help your eyelashes grow. With almay you can see your eyelashes get longer and thicker. Also a other trick is to put a very light coat of vaseline on your eyelashes before you go to sleep at night. these are my tricks anyway :)

  • The eyeshadow is beautiful but I cannot comment on the price because I dont know how much they are :(

  • Does latisse give you dark eye circles? The other product I was using lilash made my lashes really long but gave me horrible under eye circles

  • @ashleightv I have heard there is a risk, but i have very bad dark circles w/out using the product and I have noticed no difference since I have been using the product for the past 3 months. I think because 1. you are using less product and 2. you not putting the drops directly in your eye, the risk of fat loss in the orbital area is less to none.

  • Could you do a tutorial on the makeup you're wearing in this video? It's just beautiful! I love that eyeshadow!

  • Hello!!! Please come and check out my BEAUTY CHANNEL It would make my day!!! xo :)

  • Your makeup looks gorgeous:)!! Tutorial please?!?!

  • LOVEE the way you look!! love your tutorialsss!!! so amazing!! thanks as always for your help!

  • you look so gorgeous!! tutorial please!

  • that eyeshadow makes your eyes look GORGEOUS. such a beautiful teal color. 

  • I place one drop on my finger and that drop goes on both lash lines...and it lasts 9 mos-1 yr. I've loved the results so far, but I am interested in other options if they work as well or better than Latisse.

  • OMG I loooove your make-up here pleasepleaseplease do a tutorial , I think I got the basic idea but I'd like to know in more detail :) !

  • Here is a tip to make them last longer.

    Place one drop in the lid. Dip in your brush and let it absorb all the fluid. Paint both eyelids top and underneath.

    Dip brush back in to get remaining fluid. Go over them a second time and it is still damp to put on your eyebrows or hairline or wherever. I have been doing this for 2 years

    My lashes are SUPER long and thick and I go through 2 bottles/year

  • I've heard castor oil painted in the root of the lash thickens them and makes them grow. Could you try this? Lots of people talk about it in YouTube but I would love your opinion.

  • the L'Oreal lash booster serum works really well, too. I've had it and it worked great for me and it's only $12 :)

  • Thank you for the review! I've been wanting to try this since the Claire Danes commercial. Will be looking into deals like you got, because $120 is ridiculous. Your makeup looks amazing as always!

  • what lipstick are you wearing? and have your tried the urban decay lash serum?

  • i got a boner in the first 12 seconds.....thanx pretty lady XD

    LOL

  • did it change your iris color at all?

  • All day chemist sells generic 4 12 dollars it's called Careprost there's a lot of people on YouTube who have done reviews and I'm hooked

  • you're so pretty x3

  • U should do a makeup tutorial

  • Why do so much hassle ??? Just stick with ur natural lashes gheezz :LL x

  • ahaha sounds like you said "hey monkies"....i was like..pfffffttt.......

  • After your lashes are at their maximum length, you can switch to every other day. One bottle lasts about 6 mos for me. To get max length and thickness, use everyday until they won't grow anymore (4 mos or so). I personally love Latisse and have used it for over 2 yrs.

  • isnt it that lash extentions come with alot of rules like no eyelash glue, no certain mascaras, no getting wet, no face washes, etc

  • The eyeshadows look AMAZING!

  • I love how honest you are!

  • There is a generic brand...well sorta I bought the Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara n it came with a Lash Serum... It works great! Ive been using for a month its 5.5ml n its real good now I already have long lashes so I was confused weither or not to use it but it gave me the thickness I wanted. Its by Loreal Paris n I bought it from WalMart it was about 12$

  • @everyone who replied to my eyebrow issues: thank u.. :)

  • Hey sweetie, what hair color is your's considered? dark auburn?
