A Call Out To Ladies With Sparse Eyelashes.

[Tilly2]

I had a Boots bundle of No7 products and in it was a No7 Eyelash serum.

My eyelashes have dwindled as I've got older, along with my eyebrows...having an underactive thyroid doesn't help... so I have given the serum a go.

I have been applying it every night for the past three and a half weeks. Today, I was going out and, for the first time in months, decided to wear some mascara.

The difference was amazing! All those little, piddly eyelashes at the corner of my eyes have re-appeared and my lashes are much longer than they have been for years.
So, I recommend the No 7 lash serum to you. It states that eight weeks is the optimum time for results to be seen. I am very happy so far and hope for further growth in the coming weeks.

Not seeming to work on the eyebrows yet but I will give it time.

Isn't this thread a bit sexist? What about all us men with sparse eyelashes?
;-)

(Actually, both my eyelashes and my eyebrows are almost non-existent. They're only just starting to grow back after my chemotherapy, even though that ended over a year ago. I doubt that I'll be heading to Boots to do anything about it though!)

Sorry Buen. I didn't think men would be particularly interested.

[Buenchico]

You're probably right, Tilly.

After all, Sqad and TTT both wear false eyelashes when they get into their bras and panties on a Saturday night before heading out to a club ;-)

^^^ I'm not sure that I should have written that. I'll probably have some VERY strange dreams when I go to bed now ;-)

My mum had a small rolled brush when I was younger. When I asked what it was for she said putting oil on her eyelashes at bedtime to make her eyelashes thicker. I can't remember what oil she used. An alternative was rubbbing a small amount of Vaseline onto eyelashes before bed.

I am in full agreement Tilly, last year I won Boots prize of a quite a lot of No 7, and that is the one that has made the most difference.

[Buenchico]

^^^ I can't remember what oil she used

Googling finds both castor oil and olive oil suggested, Cashier. (It also finds plenty of references to petroleum jelly, backing up your Vaseline reference).

[cashier]

I was thinking castor oil, it wouldn't be olive oil, it was quite expensive and we had a small bottle in case it was needed for earache.

Glad it's worked for you Tilly and you are so pleased with it. I would probably get all the awful side effects mentioned. I haven't been able to wear mascara for years because it started to make my eyes sore and watery so I wouldn't risk using your No 7 Tilly.
It's 3 weeks tomorrow since I had my cataract removed and my eye is still gritty, itchy, watery and uncomfortable but I'm so glad I had it done as the sight in it now is remarkable.

Thanks for the recommendation Tilly. I’ve been using a different serum on my eyebrows but I can’t see a difference. I might give the No 7 one a go.

[Patsy33]

I like No.7 products.
Will bear this serum in mind. Thanks.

[pastafreak]

Thanks for this Tilly. My eyebrows aren't too bad...at least they don't need drastic tweezing anymore. But I can count how many eyelashes I've got. Maybe I'll have a splurge next time I venture into Boots.

[Tilly2]

Nice to see that you are happy with the results of your cataract operation Lb. I hope the itchy, watery bit subsides very soon. x

I found the Boots serum for skin was very good - last time I bought it - was a bit expensive but should have kept on.

I figure (myself) and have been told by others - that my skin is pretty good (Astral) but then again I have been using Astral from about 20 years old. But I am going to buy the Boots Serum.
