Don’t put this on a pig
Are you a coquette who bats your eyelashes at a hungry world? Are you a dish that our mouths and minds just can’t get enough of? Are you a blissfully floaty member of your local chapter of the youth and beauty brigade? Give me a sign and I will begin to salivate like a dog. Wear ankle bells to complete the Pavlovian effect.
But enough of your fantasies about what tickles me. Answer me this: what would you endure for long, lustrous lashes? Time? Boredom? Blindness from Rapid Lash? Don’t come crying to us when you find that cash advance in West Covina or online cash advance in West Covina won’t be enough for a set of Tleilaxu eyes, then!
Don’t be thick
Dan Sevigny reports for Alternative Health Journal that while the Rapid Lash Eyelash Renewal Serum may plump and flatter your batting devices, you must understand the potential cost. There are harmful chemicals contained in the product like prostaglandin and cloprostenol. While these substances may produce the eyelash effects you’re looking for, they can also produce conditions that you don’t want.
What are they? They’re drugs used in the treatment of ocular conditions like glaucoma. They only began to be used in cosmetic eye products when doctors noticed that glaucoma patients began to develop “full, bush, elongated” lashes, writes Sevigny. The enterprising young optical surgeon passed the idea on (likely for a healthy fee), and then cloprostenol began to appear in more and more products, like Rapid Lash.
Then there were… wait for it… siiiide effects
- Eye irritation (ouch)
- Loss of vision (yikes)
- Eye-Color change (get the changeable eyes you’ve always wanted!)
What Rapid Lash has done is make some changes to the original eye-irritating formula. What they use is Isopropyl Cloprostenate, and it may or may not be different enough from its base components to avoid the the problems its base components are known to promote. Reportedly, Rapid Lash is conducting independent trials to discover whether or not their product is harmful, so you may want to wait until the results are in before buying. However, wouldn’t it be nice if the testing and safety determinations had been made BEFORE Rapid Lash Eyelash Renewal Serum was released on the open market?
But some people aren’t convinced
I’ll get there are a lot of people out there like Brown Girl Gumbo. In her blog, she talks about how she’s tried Rapid Lash. Mind you, she stopped using after she heard of the dangers, but who among use would put the pedal to the metal instead of taking the detour? I’m sure some would think it can’t happen to them. Here’s what she has to say:
I think it’s pretty safe to say that I’m completely obsessed with eye lashes! I’ve tried just about every popular mascara brand on the market on a quest to create enviable long, luscious lashes. Since I’ve tried so many mascaras, I decided to take my lash obsession up a notch – I tried RapidLash.
RapidLash is a popular brand of eye lash renewal serum that’s applied like eyeliner to your top lashes. It’s supposed to increase the darkness, thickness and length of your lashes within 4 weeks. I used it every night for about 2 weeks and believe it or not, I saw a huge change in my lashes; they seemed longer than ever! However, I read an article about how these formulas in the long-run could result in major eye trauma, which of course scared me to death so I have since stopped using it. But while I did use it, I was pleased with the results.
**UPDATE** I’ve been informed that contrary to other brands’ potential health concerns, Rapid Lash is paraben-free, with vital proteins and vitamins, including pumpkin seed and licorice extracts that help replenish and fortify lashes. So perhaps, I’ll give it another go!
Rapid Lash is expensive ($49.95 a bottle via their Web site), but then again, I guess all non-Wal Mart cosmetics are. Sure, a cash advance in West Covina or online cash advance in West Covina can cover the back line while you splurge, but is that the best way to handle your finances. Try something if you can afford it, but don’t neglect the important things: food, shelter, clothing and body massages. Please, treat yourself (and your budget) right.
