Silk Naturals

I missed the gum ball

I’m looking forward for it to hit the regular line!

Soon?

I'm almost out.

Oh, yes, me too! I'm going to start using it on only one eye, so it will last longer and to tell if it's making a difference. I think it is, but yeah, I need proof

I bought the full size eyelash gel/treatment 2 weeks ago and have been using it for a week. It's great, for those that haven't, get it.

A little history, when I get stressed out I pull on my eye lashes and brows. Weird, I know. I don't even realize I'm doing it. Naturally my lashes are thin, short and straight anyway, so pulling on them makes them even more pathetic. I usually take my mascara off with jojoba oil, since I started doing that this summer, they've gotten a little better because at least they are conditioned. O and my regular hair grows pretty fast also, that's important to the story...anyway, I started using the new eyelash gel last week and today I can honestly say that my lashes look longer and fuller. I think the conditioning part of the gel + the caffeine has worked to keep my lashes that are growing out, which actually do grow fast, from breaking (which is the real problem) and therefore look longer and sort of kicked my stubby broken lashes butt and even they are looking healthy.

So this has ferna's seal of approval. If it ever gets discontinued I will buy 10. Otherwise you can count on me buying it when it runs out.

I do that too, and have since I was a little kid! The technical term is trichotillomania. It's actually not that uncommon. The lash gel helped me because I had to be a "good girl" while I was testing it, and then they looked so good I didn't want to lose them again!

Do you think you could make a leave-in conditioner that would have the same effect on my scalp?........or like a five-minute oil treatment?........

I have this problem where my lashes are really long and thin, so I want to make them look fuller and thicker without making them any longer because every time I wear mascara, people ask if I'm wearing fake lashes, which makes me feel really self conscious. I don't like the word fake.

O wow I didn't know that, thanks I like knowing there's a name for it instead of "ferna-hates-her-eye-lashes" syndrome.

So far so good, I have been being good. I mean I did actually pay now to try and get them longer so I feel like I just can't go pulling them out.

Feyith, a trick I just learned to make mine look fuller, and this might be a bit weird, but I ever-so-lightly with a mineral eye liner (I'm using e.l.f's mineral liner, it looks like a pencil) draw under my eye lashes, on the inside line, not outside, aka on the top water line. Works like a charm. I heard you're not suppose to do this all the time because it could bother your eyelash hair follicles, so I'm going to do it when I'm going out.

I second this suggestion! I would love to have a leave-in conditioner.
