It's called "Latisse."

1. Yes, Brooke Shields is peddling it.
I can't believe people think so much of their looks that they are willing to take a damn pill that has side effects just so their eyelashes would get longer. I find the whole thing upsetting.

3. Not a pill, a liquid that you paint on your eyelid near the lashes. Can you believe that?

And some of the side effects can affect your vision. I think I'll choose NOT going blind over lush eyelashes.

2. It says it may grow hair in other areas.
There is a potential for hair growth to occur in areas where LATISSE® solution comes in repeated contact with skin surfaces.

LOL! Oh, my.

Well, it might work for men with thinning hair.

4. They discovered the side effect from eye drops for glaucoma.
I know several people on the drops who hate what it has done to their eyelashes. Not only do the lashes grow thicker - they grow in curly and often curl the wrong way.

5. What pisses me off
is that people are dying here and all over the world for lack of adequate care and the necessary drugs but they can spend time and money on this kinda bullshit. :mad:
