It is no longer a secret that eyelash serums can work wonders. However, the results vary from product to product, as well as from person to person who uses them. Our beauty team tested two eyelash serums and have now drawn their conclusions.
In the meantime, eyelash extensions have become just as popular as false fingernails. While the former are applied at a relatively high cost in terms of time and money, eyelash serums can achieve a similarly impressive effect in the long term if used regularly. Livia Gisler and Muska Hajradinovic from our beauty team decided to take a closer look at the "miracle products" and tested two different brands over a two-month period: RevitaLash and BeautyLash.
BeautyLash is one of the most popular beauty products on the market.
BeautyLash
Flashback: Muska has naturally short, curled eyelashes with a few gaps. She is testing the BeautyLash brand serum in the hope of thicker and longer lashes. This is the first time she has used an eyelash treatment.
Muska's first impression:
"The serum has a neutral scent. At four millilitres, it contains twice as much as the RevitaLash serum, but doesn't cost much more. I'm therefore very excited."
Muska on the ease of use and any complaints:
"It's actually super easy and needs no explanation. At first, however, I didn't really know exactly how much to apply. If I accidentally applied too much product, it sometimes happened that the serum ran into my eye. It then stung. But you quickly get the hang of it."
Muska's result and conclusion after 2 months:
"The result is impressive, my expectations were met: The lashes have definitely become thicker and they have also gained some length. For me, the effect was noticeable in that more and more mascara residue was deposited on the area between my eyelid and eyebrow. I will definitely continue to use the product as I am not a fan of eyelash extensions and the serum is the more natural alternative for me."
RevitaLash
Flashback: Livia is going to test the hyped RevitaLash serum. Her lashes are also short, but they also lack curl. They are also fine and very brittle. She wants stronger and longer lashes. So far, she has only applied a few drops of a nourishing oil before going to bed in the hope that it would strengthen her lashes.
Livia's first impression: "The scent of the product is completely neutral. The two millilitres are easily enough for three months. In terms of price, the serum is definitely in the higher segment. However, if you compare it to eyelash extensions at the beautician, it's completely fine."
Livia on the ease of use and any complaints: "Application is very easy thanks to the eyeliner-like brush. However, just like with the BeautyLash Serum, you should make sure that you don't have too much product on the brush, otherwise it will run straight into the eye and sting enormously. Once you have applied the product, it dries super quickly. I haven't experienced any side effects, but I'm also not the allergy type."
Livia's result and conclusion after 2 months: "I am very happy with the product and honestly surprised at how well it has worked. Initially, I struggled to consistently incorporate the product into my evening routine, but the application is so quick that this was soon no longer a topic. I saw the first results after about a month. It started with the fact that when I removed my make-up, I hardly found any eyelashes that had fallen out on the cotton pad, which is usually the case with me. In addition, my eyelashes were hitting my glasses more and more often and I was also getting compliments. In the end, my lashes became longer and thicker. However, the lack of curl didn't change. Incidentally, the difference is particularly noticeable after applying the mascara. I can recommend it to anyone who wants a natural result and is confident enough to use it regularly. I will definitely buy it again as the product is very economical and costs about the same as a single eyelash extension."
Margin note: I myself had my own experience with RevitLash a long time ago and got almost twice as long lashes as I had before. Unfortunately, my big eyelash gain also came with a small loss: my eyelids turned a reddish colour exactly where I kept applying the serum. This is a side effect that many RevitaLash testers have already experienced and on days without make-up looked like a lot of sleep deprivation with a pinch of marijuana. Fortunately, Livia was spared in this respect.
Important: People with skin conditions, pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding, minors and patients receiving chemotherapy should refrain from using the product, according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you are unsure, we generally recommend that you seek the advice of your dermatologist before use.
