Long and strong: LASHFOOD Eyelash and Eyebrow Enhancing products
We all strive for long lashes.
Whether it’s applying mascara, putting on false lashes, or even getting lash extensions, when it comes to eyelashes, usually the longer the better.
I’ve done all three of the above and although I really did enjoy lash extensions, I ended up getting an allergic reaction to them so I had to stop doing it. Plus, you know with COVID and the fact that it’s very expensive to maintain/there are a bunch of limits with them as well (no serums, no eye masks when you sleep, etc.), they just aren’t for me anymore.
With that being said, since it’s been COVID it’s actually been a blessing in disguise for my lashes since I barely wear any makeup anymore. I work from home and don’t really see anyone often, so there isn’t a reason to apply makeup on a daily basis. Because of that, my hair, skin, lashes have been loving me lately.
This past summer I went and got done a lash lift and tint, which I absolutely loved and definitely want to get again in the future. After getting that done the first time around and seeing how long my natural lashes are it kinda solidified the fact that I actually do have really nice lashes. But of course, they could always be thicker and longer.
And that’s where today’s post comes in.
For the past few months I have been using a lash serum to help my lashes grow longer and thicker and I can happily tell you that this product has been working like a charm. There are so many of these serums out right now and since they are a pretty high investment (Latisse, which is the original medical-grade one and requires a prescription, can cost hundreds of dollars, but the other ones on the market are around the $100 range), I know it can be a gamble to purchase these and see if they actually work.
The place where I got my lash lift and tint, Wink Studio here in Winnipeg, sells this brand called LASHFOOD and since it’s something that is sold in a salon, I thought it would be a great line to try out.
LASHFOOD offers up two different enhancer serums, one for lashes and one for brows. I did receive both, but since my brows grow like crazy, I didn’t bother giving that one a try. I have been using the LASHFOOD Phyto-Medic Eyelash Enhancer Serum (C$100) though and am so impressed with the results I’ve gotten.
The LASHFOOD Phyto-Medic Eyelash Enhancer Serum is the world’s first and only Ecocert natural eyelash enhancer and works to nourish lashes to make them look longer, thicker, and stronger. The formula includes their patented Phyto-Medic Complex to give your lashes nutrients.
Unlike Latisse, there is no prescription required and the formula itself is natural, drug-free, and irritant-free. It’s also dermatologist tested and approved and vegan, so you shouldn’t experience any of those scary side effects which are known with these kinds of enhancers (which to be honest, are probably pretty rare, but still, it’s nice knowing that this is completely safe and won’t change your eye colour for example).
LASHFOOD contains 99.49 per cent ingredients that are from natural origin and 25.02 per cent of ingredients that are from organic farming.
You apply this product along the lash line right above your lashes and I like to apply it as the last step in my skincare routine at night. During the day I have actually been applying the LASHFOOD Conditioning Collagen Lash Mascara Primer (C$27), which is a lash primer that is supposed to extend, thicken, and boost the volume of your lashes. You can use this under your mascara or on its own, which is what I do.
This primer is great to use as a daytime nourishing mask for your lashes. You apply it via the mascara wand and although for the formula is white, it’s not that noticeable on the lashes if you are just wearing it by itself. It contains a nano-peptide complex to promote lash vitality and also has micro-thickening natural lash fibres to boost the look of lashes. I have found that the combo of these two products have really worked and my lashes are definitely looking longer and thicker. I can’t wait for an excuse to go and get another lash lift and tint since I know that my lashes are going to look very similar to extensions; that’s how long they have gotten.
As for their other products, like I mentioned, they also have a brow enhancer as well. The BROWFOOD Phyto-Medic Eyebrow Enhancer Serum (C$110) works to grow in over-plucked, thin, and uneven brows. It also contains a natural, safe, and effective formula, which is Ecocert certified, vegan, and dermatologist tested and approved. This features the same kind of brush but is quite thicker, allowing you to fully sweep this along your existing brow hair, as well as any area which is sparse and needs some hair grown.
The brand also has a number of other cosmetic products, including the Chamomile Makeup Eraser Pen (C$24), which works as an eraser to fix any brow or eyeliner mistakes. This pen is infused with chamomile and Vitamin E to soothe sensitive skin. I haven’t used this a ton, but the times I did use it, I was impressed by how easy it was to remove makeup. This is great to have on hand when doing a perfect cat eye since it removes makeup really easily, even the waterproof kind.
I still have some formula left in my eyelash enhancer serum and believe me, I will be using up every last drop of this sweet nectar. I know the price is quite steep but I found it worked for me and truthfully, if you get eyelash extensions already, this is like getting two fills, so it more than pays for itself.
Have you tried any eyelash enhancing serums?
