My Lilash Experience
Jenny’s Personal Story With Lilash
Eyelash Growth Products Reviews

If you look online, there are many different products and formulas that people say they used to grow their eyelashes. The different methods range from simple DIY formulas that use household items to surgical procedures that cost thousands of dollars.

I have short stick straight asian eyelashes and in my desperation, I’ve tried most of these methods (except surgery). I can LiLash has worked for me. You can read different user submitted LiLash Reviews to see why this Eyelash Conditioner is so popluar. Here are my experiences with trying to grow longer and thicker eyelashes.

1. Vaseline Doesn’t Make Your Lashes Grow Longer
2. Neither Does Castor Oil For Eyelash Growth
3. Ardell Lash Growth Accelerator Did Nothing And Smells Like Toxic Chemicals
4. Talika Lipocils Doesn’t Really Work… And Has Some Scary Side Effects
5.Hallelujah, I Found My Holy Grail – LiLash Really Works

The first method I tried to grow longer eyelashes was to apply Vaseline to my lashes every night. I read that Vaseline would condition my lashes and not only make my eyelashes look thicker and fuller, but also my eyelashes would grow longer too.

I did this for several weeks and the Vaseline did condition my eyelashes. They felt softer and looked darker, but they certainly didn’t grow any longer. The Vaseline also made my skin break out so I stopped using it when I didn’t see longer lashes.

I loved the thought that some thing so cheap like Vaseline could make my eyelashes grow longer, but alas I have to declare this an old wive’s tale.

So in the quest for eyelash lengtheners that really work I asked myself:

Does Caster Oil Make Eyelashes Grow?

The second method I tried to grow my eyelashes was to apply castor oil to my lashes once in the morning and once at night. I think this is a traditional Indian method to grow longer lashes?

Like the Vaseline method (see my post on does Vaseline make your eyelashes grow?), the castor oil did make my eyelashes softer and darker, but I think this was just because of the oil coating the eyelashes. I didn’t notice any eyelash growth form this method either.

I found the castor oil easier to apply, but it was still pretty unpleasant. Castor oil is very thick and almost syrup like and it feels and smells pretty bad too. No matter how lightly I applied the oil, it always managed to get into my eyes and blur my vision. Another side effect from getting castor oil in your eyes is some nasty funky discharge. Also, the castor oil often got onto my skin and made the skin around my temples break out in cystic acne.

After these “diy” methods failed, I then tried eyelash growth serums. The first one I used was Ardell Brow and Lash Growth Accelerator (Pack-3). I can say that this did absolutely nothing for my lashes. It’s thick and goopy, smelled like burned plastic, and flaked off in white specks during the day. Ardell also made my eyes sting whenever I was applying it. This product was the cheapest of all the lash growth products, but this is one case where price dictates quality. I definitely would not recommend Ardell Lash Growth Accelerator to anybody.
