Media Expectations

The article I am posting is about a plus-sized model who has settled at a beautiful, healthy size 8. She previously suffered from anorexia as a model, and is now getting slack as a "too thin" plus-size model. Her answer to the backlash is how everyone should view the modeling world, and I applaud her courage to walk her own path. This is her story: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20464449,00.html

Revitalash

Wow, has it been a while since I have posted. My hair is growing back in amazingly, and I am comfortable going out without my wig on! I still wear it, but it is a huge milestone to be back in that place where a wig or a hat aren't my only options.

So, I want to talk about a product meant for growing thicker eyelashes called Revitalash. A friend told me about Revitalash after reading some reviews about it concerning eyebrows as well. Being someone who has to draw on her own eyebrows every day I wanted to look into what the internet was saying about the stuff. There are many alopecia sufferers who do not have their eyebrows or eyelashes (I am lucky for this cycle to have kept my eyelashes for the most part), so hopefully this post will help.

This is how eyelash-growth.com described Revitalash:

"Revitalash Eyelash Conditioner belongs to Athena Cosmetics, Inc. an organization devoted to philanthropy by supporting the fight against breast cancer. The product was born out of a doctor’s need to offer his wife a solution for her once beautiful eyelashes left sparse and fragile due to intensive chemotherapy treatments on her way to recovering from breast cancer.

It claims to provide longer, fuller, and thicker lashes anywhere between 3 to 10 weeks, which is a long wait indeed. It is to be applied by a brush applicator only once a day at bedtime to the base of the lashes to boost the beauty of the natural lashes."

Not only does it promise growth, but also supports the fight against breast cancer; a cause I can definitely stand behind. However, every new product has some side effects and the ones for Revitalash should not be taken lightly, like changing eye color. The price is also pretty steep.

****I want to know if anyone has used any of the lash growth products on their eyelashes and/or eyebrows and what their experience has been with it.
