**You Have To Give It Time**
** The 2 most important things to know about this product**
1) Do not get this product directly on the skin where eyelash roots are. (Also known as the "waterline.") You can apply it just a few millimeters away.
**If you get this in your eye, it stings.**
Then you have to quickly wash it off with cold water, and start all over again.
You can also brush it on your upper eyelashes, if you don't start near the skin.
You can't really put it on your lower lashes, because it somehow seems to work it's way upwards into your eye.
2) I saw results from using this product, at the end of the 3rd month. That's 12 weeks of applying it at night.
I used this on my right eyebrow & lashes only.
My eyebrows are just "regular," but I was hoping it might darken them just a little bit. It didn't. It didn't seem to have any effect on my eyebrow.
But the eyelashes is a different story. I was shocked when I realized that I had an extra row of lashes growing in, and they were getting really nice and long. I'm not talking about eyelashes up to my eyebrows, but really nice and long. And fuller.
The brush you apply it with is exactly like a regular teddy bear mascara brush. If you will bend it a little, right where the brush meets the wand, it really makes it so easy to apply.
My tube is only half empty, so it will last me about 6 - 7 months. For $4.75, that's a steal. If you just don't mind applying it very carefully. It only takes a few extra seconds, and I use a magnifying mirror.
I have applied it some times in the morning, underneath mascara, and it was fine; didn't have any negetive effect on the application of the mascara. I just let it dry for a few minutes before I applied the mascara.
I did take one star off my rating, because it does take just a little bit more time to apply, and because it does sting if you get it inside your eye.
So, if you're ok with this, then you'll likely be very happy with this eyelash conditioner.

It would be wrong for me to not mention that I am using a different brand on my left eyelashes. My left eyelashes are fuller and longer, exactly like my right eyelashes, but it costs twice as much. However, it's still extremely inexpensive, compared to some I've seen online. It is the Lash Serum by L'Oreal. Just the serum, only. I do not buy the other tube that has a mascara and a conditioner in one.
Results for both eyes are the same. The L'Oreal is about $10 I think, but this tube will likely last me a year. And it does not sting. At all. Not even when I get it in my eye.
The brush applicator is different, it's kind of like a thin curved soft strip of sponge, on the end of the wand. Very soft and comfortable to apply directly to the eyelashes, and both upper and lower lids where you would apply eyeliner.
And seriously, it did take all of 3 months before they just took off and started growing.

I have a tube of Mavala Eye-Lite Double Cils - $10 - I have not tested it yet, but I can tell you that it does not sting if you get it in your eyes.
I remove my eye makeup at night with vasoline. I don't wash that off, I only tissue it off. I'm sure it conditions the eye lashes a little bit too.
And finally, a few days ago I bought Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara With Grow Lash Complex. I like it very much. It lengthens my lashes like L'Oreal Lash Out does, only better. I can sweep the mascara upwards on my top lashes, and they will curve up and stay there nicely.
