What about the product sold at Nordstrom and other department stores, Enormous Lash? Many people are very happy with those results.

I am desperate for longer eyelashes, and have used every conditionaing lash primer there is available (from reputable cosmetic companys).
But I am a scientist, and having read this article, and tried my own research (admitedly online only) I can safely say I will be waiting a few years before buying any of the new wonder eyelash enhancing treatments. Revitalash, LiLash, and Jan Marini do not in my opinion have any valid research to back up their claims, and if they do work I would be concerned as to what else they are doing to the eye area, as they must contain a drug.
If research does prove their ‘ingredient’ to work, rest assured that reputable cosmetic companys will certainly jump on the band wagon, and I am happy to wait for this. Large companies have reputations to protect and would face huge lawsuits in the event of any health damage to end users of their products.
I would recommend sticking to using a white eyelash primer followed by a good quality mascara. It may be time consuming, but better than permanently darkening the eye area, or doing other unknown damage.

Yay! Let me run out and put a drug on my eyelid that, when applied directly to the eye, has the medical purpose of reducing occular pressure. Never mind that my eyelid is THIS close to my eyeball, and that my occular pressure is just fine the way it is. Um, on second thought, I’ll happily wait for viable REPRODUCABLE clinical studies to show that it not only works but is safe. Those that want to try it now – more power to ya. If it works, you’ll beat me to the longer-lash party by a couple years. If it ends up having nasty side-effects, or not working at all, well then I will be hale and healthy still, and a few grand the richer.

Is there something wrong with requiring “proper” testing? These “proper” tests ensure that people aren’t inadvertently poisoning themselves with cosmetics.
