For those of you who haven't heard the latest...
Latisse is the "first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or not having enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker." Or for vain women like myself.
And the verdict? It works!
Originally used to treat glaucoma, an eye condition, it was discovered that patients experienced the happy side effects of increased lash growth. Allergan then bought over the patented formula to reproduce it for cosmetic use.
I found the product easy to use. I used a brush with a slanted tip to apply a small drop of the watery formula to the base of my lashes. There is no noticeable scent and it felt moist for a few minutes before drying out.
I applied a minute amount nightly over a period of 2 weeks and am (very) pleased to report that my lashes did become longer. Not only that, small new lashes grew, giving a fuller appearance. As promised, the growth phase of each hair is lengthened, and it stimulates growth of new hairs.
Side effects include a slight itch and some days a dryness of the eyes. It also caused very bad dark eyerings. At this point, I must confess that I did not read the instructions carefully and applied it to the base of my lower lashes as well. This may account for my increased side effects. The eyerings have improved since i stopped using Latisse for a few days.

Got a 50ml bottle of Juicy Couture perfume. It's so pretty.,.the bottle comes with a chain-pendant on the cap and the packaging has a cute story about the founding of Juicy. The scent is a bit on the strong side for me, with overtones of jasmine and musk. Just a dash is enough for the day!
This is the first time I got an occasion to wear my BCBG gown, which was bought some time ago. The venue is Conrad Hotel at a friend's wedding. I love the little train the gown has and the delicate silk fabric with colour graduations. Not to mention the high slit on the front. 
Just bought this nautical striped off-shoulder top from Mango for a mere S$25. It's really flattering as the back is nipped in. I paired it with a short A-line skirt here, also from Mango and completed the look with white shoes and a red bag.
Victoria's Secret is here! Unfortunately, that's only the make-up range, not their babelicious lingerie. If you don't already know, it's available at Nuance-Watson stores at Changi Airport Terminal 3 and the Budget Terminal.
I tried this mask for the first today. Purported to keep us young through having different functions on the upper and lower portions. Top piece to ward off crow's feet and other irritating lines. Bottom piece to help with sagging. As with anything from SKii, this contains the all-powerful "secret" ingredient, Pitera (which by the way, makes the Miracle Water smell like rotten bananas). This mask smells ok, for the record.
