    I have heard that once you start Latisse you must continue indefinitely with it because if you stop your lashes will go abck to what they were originally.....Good luck ladies.......

    I've been using it for a year now. The lumigan does not come with any brushes, but you can just use an inexpensive eyeliner brush and clean it afterward. I put one drop in the cap and then dip the brush in and "paint it" on the eyelid.

    My eyebrows never came back in after chemo, but unfortunately, the Latisse/Lumigan never helped them though. But it worked wonders on my eyelashes.  I have cut back somewhat as I've noticed the skin on my eyelids getting a little darker, so I'm taking a little break and it has improved. I had continued to use it almost everyday, but I've cut back since I was concerned about the discoloration. My lashes have regressed somewhat as I've cut back, so I'm just kind of finding the balance.

    I had used Revitalash with great results.  Learned of a source for the generic opthal. version from a mail order pharm. that was used by a bunch of other women and took the chance.  That was a year ago and I'm still groovin!  I put the eye drops into the empty Revitalash container with a sterile syringe and it's lasted over a year.  I've been very careful that my lids and brows were very clean and not allowed the brush to touch anything else.

    After 6 rounds of TAC, my eyelashes are 1/3 what they used to be. I miss them even more than my hair. I can't even use eyeliner because it just washes away from the tearing in my left eye. I figure why wait for 6 months before trying Latisse. Thanks for website, Moissy. I just ordered the generic version from alldaychemist.com for $10/$25 s/h for 3ml. I will let you know how it works. I hope that price isn't too good to be true.

    THAT IS WHERE   I GOT MY DROPS -- just great!

    you don't need even a half drop of the fluid, so try to figure a way to apply/store it, so not to waste.

    maybe buy,then empty a drugstore brand and fill with the new fluid?

    Thanks, Dotti! I will find a bottle with a dropper and an eyeliner brush to use and clean everytime. Great idea!

    All right, I received my brimatoprost weeks ago, but have waited to get started until after my bilat and immed. recon last week. I am back home and will do the first application today. My eyebrows are all but gone now, but new ones are peeking out. My lashes the same, but no signs of growth yet. I will let you know how things go.

    I'm on my second tube of Rapidlash ($50 @ CVS-behind the counter).  My lashes and brows have never looked better!  This has made such an impact on how I feel about myself.  I highly recommend this product!!!!!

    Also, my eyes are blue and the color has not changed at all.  Good luck!
