GrandeLASH MD
This stuff is essentially an over the counter Latisse, meaning it's supposed to make your eyelashes longer. I'm not even disappointed with my lashes normally but I read an article about how amazing it was and so I got excited and bought it, as I am wont to do. AND IT WORKS! I put it on nightly for about a month before I was like ... is this actually? No... And a few weeks later, I was like YES! Now that I've been using it for a few months (and it does take a couple months) my eyelashes are significantly longer. I thought maybe I was imagining it until I was at the dentist last week and the hygienist was hovering over me for a few minutes and finally was like, "I need to ask you, are you wearing false eyelashes?"
Let's stop for a moment and discuss that this woman is from the same town in Maine as I am. The first time I went there we got to talking about where we were from (mostly she talked and I said, "Uh hunh. Uh uh."). We did that thing where we were both like, "Oh you know Maine? Whereabouts? Oh you probably wouldn't know it, it's like up the coast. Where? Yeah, with the shipyard? Wait, what?" I honestly had a moment where I thought maybe she was somehow trolling me because there's no way we were from the same place, but I started casually quizzing her and she passed all the tests. She's maybe ten years older than me and moved away when she was eight, so I wouldn't have known her. It got even weirder when we realized our parents both had moved away from Bath ... both to the same town further south. To the extent where I could probably pinpoint her Dad's house based on her description. It was really bizarre and I'm still not convinced she's not actually insane considering when she got back to work she quietly told me, "I don’t usually tell people this ... but when I work on teeth from this angle ... they look like little cat faces." I guess she was just comfortable enough with me that she felt she could let me in on the cat-face-teeth phenomenon.
Point being that we are probably friendlier than one might be with their dental hygienist. In fact the whole office is really great, they're all women including the doctor, and they all remember details of random stuff we talked about last time I was there. (And for the record I just got Invisalign so I'm there every few weeks. Not like I have candy corn teeth.) So she clearly feels ok asking me if I am wearing fake eyelashes, WHICH I TOTALLY AM NOT. And since she let me in on cat-face-teeth I felt it was only fair that I tell her about GrandeLASH. I got so excited and was like "I'M NOT BUT LET ME TELL YOU...!" I had to convince her they weren't fake (i.e. she was humoring me when she saw how excited I got). She went around the corner to the next cubicle and I heard her telling another hygienist, "No they're real! It's a serum, it's like Latisse." I felt so validated that I wasn't crazy and the stuff had actually made a noticeable difference. By the time I left I had half the office in a tizzy and we decided my next check up would also be an eyelash check up on them. I walked out like
and next time will be walking in like
TL; DR, this stuff actually really makes your eyelashes longer to the extent that other humans notice and ask about them.
