Lashes are great and all, but don't we all wish they were ~naturally~ just a liiiittle longer, thicker, and more curled?

Instead of just talking about our dream lashes, we decided to test out eyelash serums — one affordable and one high-end — in the hopes that our lashes can achieve their FULL, LUSH, and BEAUTIFUL potential!
The classic battle between $ (RapidLash) and $$$ (Rodan + Fields Lash Boost) commences! ⚡️💥
Watch our three dedicated testers go on their month-long journey into (hopefully) ~fuller lash territory~!

It took a while for everyone to get used to incorporating another step into their respective routines, though the serum itself seemed really easy/straightforward to apply — just swipe and voila!

Results didn't happen right away, which was kinda expected. #keepexpectationslow

Sarah: "I almost wish it stung a little so I could be like, "It's working!!" but it doesn't feel like anything happened, so I guess you really just have to wait and see."
For people with sensitive eyes, like Liz, the serum made the skin around them noticeably red and irritated at first.
LashBoost seemed to have a higher liquid/wetness factor — as Caity's boyfriend observed, "it looks like you have some gloss on your eyes."

Caity: "It looks like my right might be a little longer. I kinda do notice it's a little bit more full, but nothing too serious."
Important: Avoid the gland openings so they don't become clogged, because that’s how you could get an infection or stye!
As time went on, the ladies got a little more impatient. They forgot to put on the serum a few times. (Life happened!) They wore their lashes natural and most people didn't notice or comment, besides Sarah's friends and doctor.

Liz: "Mascara or fake eyelashes are kinda instantaneous, so having to wait six weeks is getting a little hard."
BUT LashBoost did seem to edge out RapidLash quite consistently throughout the whole experiment. Final consensus? More fullness, fersure. LashBoost also felt ~better~ and seemed to provide a little more ~oomph.~

Like, DAMN. Look at the visible thickness! Basically, "Go big or go home!"

Finals thoughts?

Sarah: "Overall, I don’t think eyelash serums necessarily 'grow' your eyelashes, but I do think they help moisturize and strengthen your lashes and prevent breakages (hello, caster oil!). In a Self article, dermatologist Pamela A. Lowe states that 'replacement of a single lash is anywhere from four to eight months.' So, you're just giving your lashes a longer life by allowing the follicles to hold on longer."
