Completely natural, bolder, thick lashes and brows with newbornLASH

Can you imagine no more angst and trouble with sparse brows and short (read: non-existent) eyelashes with a single tube? I don't do product reviews that often anymore unless I come across something that I feel strongly for, so yes... here is my true account on the three-week journey to my completely natural fuller lashes and brows.

That is perpetually my face whenever I have to deal with my brows. If anyone noticed my brows in my pictures, I am crazily self-conscious because every single time, it's different and it's always in danger of imperfection. Why? Because when eyebrows are sparse, it is difficult to decide where to draw them. The most straight-forward and natural-looking way of drawing brows is growing them into fuller brows. I mean, obviously. But things aren't as simple because it is nearly impossible to grow brows when they refuse.

For my lashes, it is equally annoying because I am born with sparse and short lashes. I have always been jealous of people with very long lashes - even with mascara, my lashes cannot achieve that natural length and density. The current ways on the market to correct this include (natural) eyelash extensions or fake eyelashes, all of which are temporary, has a record of causing damage to your original lashes and can never achieve true naturalness.

When I was introduced to newbornLASH from BeauLAB SEA, I was not that confident about this tube could do anything to my brows and lashes which have been like that since forever. I have tried a lot of methods to improve my sparse brows but they have never done anything. As for my lashes, there is actually nothing much I could do that feel remotely safe because they are so close to my eyes.

newborn LASH promises have results proven after 3 weeks for usage on eyelashes and 8 weeks for usage on eyebrows. So I started using the newbornLASH daily for 3 weeks, well, I occasionally missed a day or two each week (because I am usually even lazier than that)...

Some background information on this product which I read up before I actually started (because this product is going near my eyes, yeah)... newbornLASH is formulated in United States to help in lash and brow growth, and BeauLAB SEA guarantees results with diligent use. I love their confidence when they say 'guarantees results' with no asterisks at the bottom of the page (guarantee means guarantee!). Within the first week of usage, I could already see and literally feel more lashes growing from my eyelids. It actually itched mildly because there were so many new hairs growing!

I have tried all kinds of strange products and not all works as they promise (and hence I did not review them here) so I was indeed pleasantly surprised and mildly wildly excited. What is in this magic liquid-eyeliner-like tube? They have natural protein peptides as their main ingredient, which helps to strengthen and enhance the appearance of lash length and thickness while panthenol (pro-vitamin b5) aids in lash flexibility and durability. They include aloe vera gel in it as well, which soothes, calms and moisturize the lash line. So... it's not magic, it's science put to good, glorious beautiful use.

 

Sans makeup, no photoshop on the eye and brow area (heh heh) - not like I needed to anymore! I look like I have mascara on, but this is fully natural brows grown from my skin. This sounds weird but that's literally how it went. No professional poking or adding things near my eyes, just a one-minute application every night (or less, if you're fast). With mascara, my eyelashes never looked so full and long, I could even see it when I look up. For the long-lashed lucky ones, it might be an everyday affair but the only times I've seen my lashes is through the mirror... up till now. Whut?!

Now I am also confident enough to grow out my fringe and push it behind my ears... no more bangs to cover my brows because I don't need to anymore. Liberation, I tell you. Of course, filling them in is a lot easier and consistent now, and someone actually told me my brows look nice. Thanks. :) This is my little secret, but not so secret anymore.

Now you might be curious how it is done: instructions say to apply once a day, every night before bedtime. My personal habit is to keep it on my bedside table with a tiny compact mirror, so you can simply apply it before you sleep (and let it do its job overnight as your body renews its cells). It's similar to applying eyeliner - apply the newbornLASH to the eyelid skin right above your lashes (minus all the smudging eyeliner brings). After application, wait for 5 minutes. Carry on with your skincare routine thereafter.

It is that easy. Within the first days, I have mastered the art of putting this on left eye, right eye, left brow, right brow within one minute. The brush is also very thin and softer than any eyeliner I've used, so it is pretty much straightforward for anyone to use - man or woman who have or never tried makeup before.

The newborn LASH product retails at SGD238 per tube. It is expensive for its size, but relative to the price of eyelash extension sessions, this is cheaper (average sessions can cost $150-200 depending on type). This is comparatively truly natural, completely painless, no risk of averse effects given the nourishing natural ingredients, and easy to administer. I have used it for three weeks and counting, and the tube is still nearly full so I guess it should be able to last for a long while.
