I thought that in this post I’d go into a bit more detail about the Idol Lash ingredients and its formulation, so you get to know more about this product which contains safe ingredients, and is FDA approved. I’ll also give you a bit more of my own background and why I love Idol Lash so much!

My pre-Idol Lash Experience

About me… well since I was a child I was always aware of the fact that my sister had amazingly long eyelashes. People used to comment on it all the time. Now, at the time it didn’t really bother me. Well, not much I guess as a kid something like the length of your eyelashes, or the quality of your eyebrows doesn’t matter much. Of course, I do remember being annoyed when I was 5 or 6 years old because a little boy in my class (who I had a crush on!!) told me I had no eyebrows!

So yeah, let’s just say I wasn’t very blessed in the old eyebrows/eyelashes department. However, it was only when I got to high school that it really bothered me. In my opinion, I looked heaps better with darker eyebrows (I used eyebrow pencil to learn this), and for years I wouldn’t even go out in public without using eyebrow pencil and mascara. I tried dying my lashes and brows, and while it made my lashes look reasonable, my eyebrows were just too sparse for even the dye to really highlight them.

How Idol Lash Worked for Me

That’s why I was rapt, when earlier this year, I discovered that there WAS help for both eyelashes and eyebrows! No, this wasn’t Idol Lash (it was before Idol Lash was released onto the market), and it wasn’t available locally, so I had to buy some from China. I was a bit skeptical, and a bit scared, because it came in a very medicinal looking packet! Well, it helped a bit (although it was hard to apply as I had no applicators, so I probably didn’t use it as much as I should have to get the best results). I continued on and off for a bit, seeing some improvement, but overall wishing it was easier.

And then I learned about Idol Lash! Not only did it look “safer” than that other product, but it was also designed to be easy to apply, on both upper and lower lashes (the other one said to apply to upper lashes only, I guess because there was more risk of getting it in your eyes if you used it on the lower lashes). Not only that, but to buy Idol Lash, I could invest in an Idol Lash free trial. Whee! Nothing like a free trial I read all the details, paid my postage charge, and waited anxiously for Idol Lash to arrive in the mail.

As soon as it did I started using it. Now, if you do get Idol Lash, it’s really important to follow the directions exactly, which means your eyes need to be completely cleaned of makeup before using. The amount you get on the brush is enough for BOTH lower and upper lashes for one eye, so you don’t need to reapply more to the brush when using. You also need to be careful not to get it in your eye (if you do, rinse it out immediately). Now, I’m not THAT great at using liquid eyeliner with a brush (I always buy the liquid eyeliners with the non-brush applicators), so I was a bit unsteady. A couple of times I got a bit in my eye, and I washed it out with saline (saline is HEAPS better than water for this, because it’s isotonic, and doesn’t sting your eyes as much as pure water can).

Now as I was also using it on my eyebrows, I probably went through the Idol Lash faster than you would if you were using it for eyelashes alone! Anyway, over the course of a few weeks I kept careful track of my lashes, knowing that I wouldn’t see instant overnight results. After a couple  of weeks, I really did feel that my lashes AND brows had improved a bit. YAY! After four weeks, I was really happy with the results!
