Eyelash enhancement products are currently one of the hottest trends in beauty. Obviously, this is because of its sizeable effect in making a woman more attractive. There are several eyelash enhancement options today like false eyelashes, extensions, eyelash growth serums and special mascaras. Because of the fact that false eyelashes and extensions involve the use of glue, they can damage your natural lashes and cause many of them to fall out.

Mascara-type eyelash enhancers usually offer temporary results only which disappears once you wash your face. Eyelash growth serums are great products although they take much longer to work. However, this option is the only one that offers permanent results. In this article, we will be reviewing an eyelash growth serum to check if it works and if it is a good product worth buying.
