Speaking of mascaras which makes me think of eyelashes, I've been using Careprost which is a generic version of Latisse and a LOT cheaper. It works just as good and my lashes have gotten very long. Now I just maintain with a couple of applications a week. I got my bottle at the place I'm having laser hair removal for $30. IIRC Latisse is $80 a bottle. Don't waste your $ on Latisse.

...unless you buy it in Mexico. Then it's $40/bottle.

I use my Clarisonic every day and love it! My daily routine goes something like this:

1. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser
2. Urban Decay B6 Prep Spray
3. Lancôme Multivital Daily Moisturizer during the day; at night I use the night formula

So, what's the deal with the warnings that Latisse will cause a darkening around the eye? Have any of you all heard that?

I have heard that--and that's the primary reason I haven't tried Latisse. Of all the people I've spoken to about it, no one has experienced that specific side effect. The most common is itching around the eyelids. Ouch!

Our wedding is in October and I'm debating eyelash extensions or Latisse. I'll do a trial run with whichever I pick to ensure there are no weird reactions, though.

I've been using Latisse since last May and it is everything! My eyelashes are dark but now they are longer and thicker. I apply about 3x a week, use a MAC angle brush and wet it with a drop of Latisse put in the cap. When curled and mascaraed they look like false lashes. Good to know about the generic version for when I run out of Latisse. I haven't noticed any darkening of my eyes.
