Maximum Pain

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Ever since the medically prescribed Latisse came out, there's been a huge craze over products that enhance the growth and even the color of the eyelashes. Some women experience the loss of their lashes due to aging, improper care of their eye area or they're just plain not born blessed with long and thick lashes. In effect, they recur to mascaras that claim to miraculously transform your eyelashes, but usually come short of such claims. Now, aside from Latisse, there is a new product available cosmetically that anyone can purchase: MaximumLash. But is that really good news? Let's take a closer look at the product and its claims.

First turn off for me is that the product retails for $48.95 for a 0.074 Fl. Oz. tube. The owner company (International Cosmetics Inc.) claims that one bottle is a 3 month supply of nightly applications. To some, nearly $50 might sound a little unreasonable... so the price is already a point off.

In their FAQ they answer the question of growth. Does this product make your lashes grow? The answer is no. It simply "conditions the lashes to make them look longer, thicker and healthier than ever before." Sounds good... but...

I'm not the type of person to ever have allergic reactions in my eyes. Ever. I've tried on numerous mascaras and eyeshadows that I'm sure have somehow gotten in my eyes during application or through rubbing, and not once have I ever had a red eye or any other adverse reaction. I know I don't sound like I'm a fan of the product and that's because I'm not. At the beginning, I was very enthusiastic about trying it. It sounded like something new and exciting. However, on my very first time I gave this baby a try, my eyes turned bloodshot red. Here's how that went...

I received the product along with a press kit which included an FAQ. Call me a nerd, but I love to read instructions and FAQs. It gives you insight, and if something goes wrong, you feel less sorry because you know what to do. So I'm reading through these questions and one of them is "Is it normal to feel a small tingling or itch on my lash line?" MMHMM. They go on to answer that some customers have reported a light tingling and/or itchiness during the first few days of application, but that feeling should subside after approximately 3 days of use. If itching persists, consult your doctor and discontinue use, blah, blah. NOW. Did I feel a tingle or an itchiness when I applied the product onto my lids the first time? No. I wouldn't use those words to describe what I felt. It was more so a BURN. I quickly shut my eyes and tried to rinse the insides without having to remove the product but it was nearly impossible. The burning sensation subsided after about a minute and I decided to take a nap. "Perfect.", I thought, because the product is designed to work while you sleep.

Oh dear. When I woke up, I nearly let out a small scream when i saw my eyes in the mirror. They looked super red, especially near the bottom lids. Not only that, but I've had a weird sensation in them ever since. I didn't read a thing about redness occuring in that FAQ. I think it's important that they write this. It's interesting that they say it's safe to use with contact lenses...but I'm sure if that even touched your lenses your eyes would be on fire.

I had high hopes for this product and I really did want to give it a fair trial before I reviewed it. Unfortunately, I cannot continue to review it because my eyes can't take it. I refuse to try my luck with it again, this day has already been uncomfortable and now I'm stuck with both eyes looking like I have conjunctivitis. No bueno!

I'm sorry MaximumLash, this was a maximum pain :(
