At the same time, with a cotton pad, move from the outer eyelid to the inner one, so you will not stretch the delicate skin of the eyelids and all this must be done without rubbing and very carefully so as not to stretch the skin of the eyelids (it is the most delicate and quickly loses its elasticity, which leads to wrinkles) and do not injure eyelashes.

    After giving birth and feeding, the eyelashes began to fall out a lot. I can’t do anything chemical because I’m feeding. The only thing that I found from nature is the Magic Glance Active eyelash growth agent. I used it every day, after 2 weeks the eyelashes became denser and darker, so the effect was already visible. After a month, they began to grow in length. I used the entire tube in 3 months. Now I do not use it for 2 months, and the result in the form of beautiful long cilia is still with me))

  2. a penny

    I have dreamed of long eyelashes for a long time. I don't want to build up, because I read a lot of not very positive reviews about their consequences. I also heard a lot about hormonal drugs. The only remedy with natural extracts is Magic Glass, the result did not have to wait long)) in less than a month they became longer and, most importantly, they did not fall out after use, but continued to grow actively)

    Cilia, like the skin, require daily care. Therefore, I use only magic glass, it helps a lot with unsuccessful adjustments, after building up and or after a hormonal agent)

    I had a situation after eyelash extension, all mine got out, I don’t know, maybe the master was caught like that or the material was bad. On the advice of a friend, she began to take "Merz Special Dragee". I didn't expect a special effect, but in vain. The rest of my eyelashes were restored and even new ones grew, in addition, my nails strengthened. The result persists for quite a long time. I drink these vitamins every six months for prophylaxis.
