Fuller, longer lashes??

[Lyndebe]

I read that applying castor oil to lashes makes them fuller and longer. Any truth to that? There is a product by Jan Marino that is pricey but is supposed to make lashes grow. My lashes are very sparse!

Hi - I was going to post about this!

Ive been using a mix of olive oil and castor oil on my eyelashes, and Ive definietely noticed a difference! I was using it for about a week before I saw any results though! But yes, using this mix (half and half) did make my lashes thicker and longer.

At the moment, I am using Talika Lipocils, which is a bit more pleasant to use since you dont wake up with oily lids, but to be honest I think the castor oil did more for me and I will be going back to that once this is finished.

So yes, would def recommend!

Mowgli, great minds thing alike! How do you apply it? I use either a mascara wand, or a cotton square.

I emptied out a clear mascara tube and filled it with the mix. Otherwise you can just get those disposable mascara wands and use one of those??

I think the aim is to get it to the roots to encourage growth..

Good luck with it - its done wonders for my lashes!!

I use castor oil for my eyelashes and they look much better. You have to be consistent in your use. They won't grow overnight, but be patient and it will get better. The only bad thing is once you stop, your eyelashes begin to grow thin again. :sunshine:

... and I thought the Castor Oil wasn't true

Olive oil - does it has to be Extra Virgin or normal one ?

Castor Oil - where I can get it ?

You can get either on a natural things store or on the home remedies area of your supermarket/pharmacy/something like that (castor oil used to be used as a medicine for stomach)

Aloevera gel (I think the natural ones, not sure about the bottled gel)! Just apply it like how you would with mascara! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've heard this about eyebrows, but I'm not sure about eyelashes... I like Ardell Lash & Brow Growth Accelerator... Works for me!

I use a mix of castor oil with a small amount of shea butter and my lashes have improved so much, they're longer and naturally darker and less brittle.

I'm looking for unique tips/tricks to make eyelashes longer, fuller, more visible.  I have heard of this idea and have also heard about other oils, powders, cotton balls, etc. that can help.  Anyone have any DIY tricks or homemade remedies?  Any ideas on where I can find answers?  PLEASE HELP!
