    I use Clinique High Impact mascara. I received a free tester of it for handing in my old mascara and I've not switch since!

    I've not had any problems because the fibres are coated in mascara so your usual routine should suffice.

    One of my luxuries though is Dermalogica Pre Cleanse which does a fab job of dissolving eye make up. But I also sometimes use Asda Eye Make Remover cleanser which also does a pretty good job.

    Incidentally, I got mascara in my eye this morning and I was a bit worried about how it would react with my lenses but it was fine. I had to do some hoiking with the corner of a tissue to get the black gungey bits out but it hasn't stuck to my lens. I'm wondering if it's because it's water based - my optician did warn me that the grease from mascara can ruin your lens.

    I checked online and Rimmel Accelarator is water based - £4 on Ebay with free delivery so I might stock up.

    Looked online & you can buy a Divaderme mascara. There is a website doing both products for £14.

  • Decided to buy the divaderme lash extender and mascara.

    Is there a best way to apply it?

    I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and have lost all my eyelashes and eyebrows. I was thinking of trying The Divaderme eyelash and eyebrow growth serums once my chemo is finished. Has anyone tried these products and what did you think. Is it worth trying them as I'm desperate to look half human again. :D
  • To be honest, I have tried lash serums & they have never really made much difference. My opinion are they are expensive products which are sold to people like me & you, but are nothing more than gimmicks.

    There are quite a few tutorials on youtube which show how to make the most of what you have when you have lost eyelashes and eyebrows.

    This lady is really good I think. She does a couple of tutorials on lashes and brows. There are others on youtube.
