Cosmetic challenge. Nourishing power of eyelash serum? Test of 9 bottles!
This time, we are examining eyelash serums. We are testing all the features which are most valuable for women.
We gave to nine volunteers a possibility of testing cosmetics for eyelash lengthening, thickening and nourishing. After completed treatment, the volunteers were to describe their observations and answer several short questions considering the results of the test.
Check, which eyelash serum has crushed the competition!
Nanolash
How do you like the package?
The package and the bottle with the brush applicator are made of the high quality materials. It is the very first thing that catches eyes right after the cosmetic delivery.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
The applicator, attached to the eyelash serum, is a brush of high quality. I had not experienced any problems.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
It is visible to the naked eye that eyelashes have became longer, darker and simply healthier and this was the outcome I was looking for. Because of false eyelash attachment, I completely destroyed my natural lashes.
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
No, I did not. The eyelash serum does not run down and is absorbed fast. I did not notice any signs of irritation or allergic reaction.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
While buying several conditioners at once, the price decreases considerably. So before the purchase, it is worth asking friends, if they would like to buy one. Well done producer! Tempting solution.
Overall score:
Well-deserved 4.5!!
Lashcode
How do you like the package?
This serum offers far more product (5 ml) than you normally get while buying lash enhancers. In addition, this serum is packed really nicely, the elegant gray bottle is secured by a cardboard box. Not only is this serum really well-designed but also it offers a high quality product.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
No problems at all. Lashcode comes with a thin and precision brush that facilitates easy application.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
The very first use of Lashcode delivers a substantial portion of nourishment and moisturizing. With every application lashes are winning more shine, they are gradually becoming more resilient and simply start looking better. The most important though is that eventually I got long, full-looking and enhanced lashes. No longer do I need to reach for falsies.
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
Not at all, not even a slightest discomfort. Even though Lashcode is a runny serum, it stays where you put it, meaning that it does not get into the eyes. I also noticed that my skin absorbs this serum in a snap. In general, this serum is gentle with my eyelids and takes good care of my eyelashes.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
This is a really good eyelash serum, therefore I am sure that I will visit the online shop where Lashcode is sold to reorder it for me and my friends. Pairing this serum with Lashcode mascara makes a great gift idea for a friend, mum or sister.
Overall score:
On the scale 1-5, I’d give it 4+. What a brilliant eyelash serum Lashcode is!
Lash P7
How do you like the package?
A cardboard box just like many other cardboard boxes. There is nothing exceptional about it. An ordinary white package with the name of the eyelash serum on it. In my view, although it does not stand out from other products, it does not discourage from buying it.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
No, I did not have any problems because I draw eye lines with an eye pencil every morning so this manner of application was neither new for me nor even demanding. The bristle of a brush is O.K., as is the consistency of the product.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
After more or less 2 weeks of Lash P7 everyday application, I noticed extended lashes. These become approximately 2 millimetres longer, not more. As a month passed by, my friends started asking about my lashes, so there had to be visible changes produced. However, it is a pity that the effects started wearing off the moment I stopped applying the eyelash serum.
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
I felt stinging at two moments. Firstly, when I was applying the product and secondly, when I was reading a magazine at my bed. Maybe this is just a coincidence, maybe my eyes are simply tired, however, such discomfort had never disturbed my bedtime reading before.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
As far as I am concerned, the eyelash serum cost more than £70. No matter what superb effects the cosmetic produced, I would never buy the cosmetic for such a price.
Overall score:
3.5. In general, the eyelash serum is fine, my lashes got extended but there are two things that ruin reputation of the cosmetic – the exorbitant price and the fact that the outcome simply wears off the moment eyelashes do not receive their daily dose of Lash P7.
M2 Lashes
How do you like the package?
To be honest, the eyelash serum resembles a kind of a cosmetic for men. I like the bottle with the eyelash serum though.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
For me, it would be better if the brush were thicker. I had to apply two layers of the cosmetic because I thought that I had not applied the appropriate amount of the product at the first time. And it was the brush’s fault.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
I noticed changes but after two months! I was close to lose hope that anything would change about my lashes’ look. Fortunately, eyelashes became longer, denser and ber. Nevertheless, why would anybody wait that long to obtain a treatment outcomes?
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
A few, first applications ended with tears falling out my eyes, but I experienced such reaction for around a week, no longer than that.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
Yes, I would recommend the eyelash serum but only to a patient friend. I would not buy M2 Lashes simply because it is too expensive for me and I am not a patient person at all.
Overall score:
3.0. For that price, I can buy more eyelash serums that work way faster.
Realash
How do you like the package?
The cardboard box resembles a medicine bought at pharmacies. A white box decorated with bright blue stripes and the name of the eyelash serum. Realash earns trust.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
Rather I did not. At the beginning, my hand was shaking a little bit because I had never before used such precise applicators. For that reason, I had to remove the excess of the eyelash serum form my eyelid using a cotton swab.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
My lashes got nourished and became healthier. In general, it is obvious that the eyelash serum application affected my lashes positively. What is more, these are slightly longer and thicker, but I am not sure if this is a dazzling effect.
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
The first application was painless, but several following ones affected my eyelids badly. I felt b stinging. Because I fall asleep fast, I cannot state clearly how long the discomfort lasted. In the morning, there was not a single irritation mark left.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
It is hard to say because it depends on what a friend would like to obtain. If she wants dense and dark lashes than I would not recommend Realash, however, if she needs something for nourishing eyelashes, than Realash would be fine.
Overall score:
3.0. As I have said before, I am a proof that Realash is good at improving the general condition of eyelashes.
Lilash
How do you like the package?
The package resembles a kind of a free gift added to a magazine. In other words, I associate it with a cheap cosmetic of questionable quality. The bottle with the eyelash serum creates better impression.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
Definitely, the consistency is too watery. It happened that I lost a few drops from the applicator before I managed to draw a line on my eyelids.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
I have to admit, my lashes got nourished and regenerated. Moreover, there are shining and are a little bit thicker, but I am not sure if they have become longer. Maybe a little bit but the treatment lasted long enough to make it hard to state clearly whether my eyelashes are extended.
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
Red eyelids and swellings during the first two weeks of application. I guess, it was a kind of an allergic reaction to a new cosmetic.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
I would not buy Lilash, mainly because of the high price any the cheesy package. When it comes to a friend, I would recommend the cosmetic only if she wanted an eyelash serum for eyelash nourishment and regeneration, nor for extension.
Overall score:
2.5. Using a product named ‘eyelash serum’ I expected something more than general improvement of eyelash condition. Maybe such manner of working would make sense if the cosmetic cost less.
Idol Lash
How do you like the package?
Nice, vivid blue colour. It stands out in my make-up bag. A brush in a form of an applicator.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
The eyelash serum ran down my eyes. I had to apply it twice and wait a while to let the eyelash serum get absorbed. As a result, when I was too tired in the evening (because the cosmetic is applied only at bedtime) I simply gave the application up.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
Nourished eyelashes. These did not fall out even while performing waterproof make-up.
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
It was frustrating when the eyelash serum tended to get into my eyes. You have to put just really small amount on. I had to dip the brush into the cosmetic’s bottle and remove the excess of it on the bottle edge.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
It is quite O.K. I could recommend it, why not? However, personally, I will try other eyelash care cosmetics.
Overall score:
3.5 It is good to use it once.
XLash
How do you like the package?
The package is fine. I guess, it is quite typical package of an eyelash serum. After a month the inscription wore off.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
No. There is nothing difficult in applying the cosmetic. Night eyelash serum, applied after make-up removal, the lines are similar to those made with an eyeliner.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
Generally, almost nothing. I thought, my eyelashes had got denser but it appeared that the eyelashes got only a little bit thicker. These got a boost of nourishment.
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
Only delicate itching. Maybe also my eyelid got a little bit discoloured.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
Not exactly. I would not recommend this eyelash serum to my friend who expects eyelash lengthening and thickening. In my opinion, it is the eyelash serum that can be tested once, but after that, is should be consigned to oblivion.
Overall score:
Hmm… I can give 3. Generally, this cosmetic provided well-nourished eyelashes and the effect lasted some time after I had finished the treatment.
RapidLash
How do you like the package?
Nothing outstanding, a simple, silver package. The brush is all right. Up to now, I was using the eyelash serums having a simple comb. In such a way, the cosmetic stayed only on the eyelashes and did not soaked into eyelash roots.
Did you have any problems concerning the eyelash serum application?
A little bit. And mainly because I had not used an eyeliner before but the typical Kohl pencil. However, it is easy to become accustomed with it.
What are the changes that you have noticed?
Definitely lengthening but the outcome vanished the second I finished the treatment. I was extremely disappointed because I had to wait long for the result of already long 2-month treatment. When I put aside the eyelash serum, the spell of the whole treatment was broken.
Did you experience any discomfort after the eyelash serum application?
I always felt a weird tension on my eyelids skin.
Would you buy the eyelash serum by yourself or recommend it to your friend?
No. It is waste of money.
Overall score:
I have heard abut better eyelash serums – 2.5.
