The first FDA approved drug for longer lashes.

Love the Long Eyelashes. Who's Your Doctor?
The makers of Botox apparently have a knack for turning medical treatments into cosmetic luxuries. Previously used as eye drops for treating glaucoma, the drug Lumigan is being repackaged into Latisse by these guys--and it's had some pretty amazing results in clinical trials. "...eyelashes typically grew 25 percent longer, 106 percent thicker and 18 percent darker."
My short, sparse, stubby eyelashes would definitely benefit, but since I'm on a frugal recent-college-graduate budget, I don't have the means to fork over $120 a month. (A girl can only dream...) Would you guys ever try this out?

hmm, is this safe though? I would love to have my eyelashes longer. I would probably do if I had more feedback from women that didn't have any bad responses from it or side effects
One of my friends works for a cosmetic derm who carries this product. Apparently it really does work and for someone who barely has any lashes I'm seriously looking into forking over the $120. I was told that the only drawback is that it makes light eyes turn darker.
I'd probably seriously consider this in the future if it turned dark eyes lighter instead...haha.
I've been using these drops since March. A bottle lasts aprox 2 months and my eyelashes are gorgeous !!! No more mascara, no more eyelash curler !!
It's freaken' awesome : )
My eyes haven't changed colour. For a while, they were as red as a cherry but once my eyeballs got used to, that stopped. The skin around my eyes is slightly darker but not anything that care about.
