They say this nightly eyelash-conditioning serum contains a proprietary formula to improve the appearance of lash volume and lash length, creating lashes that are 100% real and 100% yours.

*For best results, Rodan + Fields recommends using Lash Boost for 8 weeks.

Water, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Keratin, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Biotin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Isopropyl Cloprostenate, Octapeptide-2, Allantoin, Panthenol, Copper Tripeptide-1, Pantethine, Polypeptide-23, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Extract, Glycerin, Sea Water, Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Fruit Extract, Backhousia Citriodora Leaf Oil, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Rhizobian Gum, Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, PVP, Lecithin, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Alcohol Denat., Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide

Size/Cost:

0.17 fl. oz. – $150.oo (Preferred Customer Pricing – $135)

Review:

Long, luscious lashes are always in style and enhance everyone’s appearance.

Some people are fortunate enough to be born with beautiful, thick lashes. Others, like me, are not. Even with primer and two coats of mascara I still wasn’t happy with my barely-there lashes. (Hence the need for lots of eyeliner.)

Of course, there are plenty of ways to create the appearance of voluminous lashes. Eyelash extensions are one option, but this is expensive and they have to be maintained. Wearing false lashes is another option, but this requires glue and the ability to get them on straight. Oh, it also requires the ability to keep them on. A third option is seeing your eye doctor or dermatologist for a prescription.

My favorite option is a product from Rodan + Fields called Lash Boost. This eyelash serum improves your natural lashes – nothing fake and no glue required.

I started using Lash Boost just over 8 weeks ago. I simply brushed the serum along my upper lash line every night after I washed my face. Let it dry for 90 seconds and then continued with my regular routine of eye cream and facial lotion. Within 4 weeks I could see a difference, but within 8 weeks I was amazed with the results.

Improves appearance of lash volume and length	Yes
See results in as little as 4 weeks (For best results use for 8 weeks)	Yes

Overall Pretty Proof Rating:

Pretty Proof gives Rodan + Fields Lash Boost 5 out of 5 crowns because this product works as promised. After using Last Boost for 8 weeks, I had longer, fuller beautiful natural lashes.

Review:

In high school I was fortunate enough to have clear skin. I didn’t have acne, pimples, or blemishes. I wore makeup, but I never had to wear foundation or concealer. Guess what? Those days are gone! Long gone…

Now, thanks to hormones and spending too much time in the sun, I have to deal with pimples, blemishes, and age spots all at the same time. Oh, and wrinkles. I’ve got some fine lines and wrinkles popping up too!

It doesn’t seem fair or right that a 40+ woman should have all of these things going on simultaneously. What’s that you say? You feel my pain because you too are experiencing adult acne along with other imperfections. Excellent! Now I know I’m not alone in my misery.

Well, let me tell you about a product that has helped me deal with these problems. It doesn’t get rid of the problems, but it will make it so no one has to know that you have skin problems.

What is this miracle worker? Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream by IT Cosmetics.

I use this this amazing correcting cream to hide every imperfection on my face from zits to brown spots to rashes.

Sometimes I’ll use it like a foundation and cover my entire face with Bye Bye Redness. Other times I’ll use it like a concealer to spot treat problem areas. I’ve used it with and without primer. I have mixed it with my favorite CC cream. No matter how I use it, I love the results I get with Bye Bye Redness – no zits, no red blotches, no age spots, etc.
