Which will help your eyelashes to grow longer? The result of Castor Oil vs. Sweet Oil with Almond

 
Sweet Oil With Almond vs. Castor Oil
Which product won in the race for naturally enhancing the growth of my eyelashes within a time frame of 3 weeks?

My eyelashes after applying both for 4 days (Left eye: Sweet Oil w/Almond vs. Right eye: Castor Oil)

3 weeks later...the results:
Now I actually look like I have eyelashes growing out of my eyes, like the way eyes are suppose to be=) WHOOO!!!

Prior to using these 2 products, my lashes were rather sparse and very short; not to mention thin.  Even after applying mascaras, they didn't really look like much of anything because they always droop down anyways.  I realized it was the eyelash curler I was using (Revlon, I think) sucked and did not do much. Even after I curled them, the lashes would droop down again. Until one day, Xteener from Youtube stated that she heats her eyelash curler with her blow dryer and that is what I have been doing since then (ELF's eyelash curler for $1.00 is a great product). This trick of heating up the curler is really fantastic, I guess it's the same idea as a hot curling iron or hair straightener, so if you'd like your lashes to stay up and curled, try heating it up with a blow dryer for a couple of seconds. For me, even if my eyelashes are longer and thick after applying mascara, if they don't curl and stay up, it kind of defeats the purpose, so try this heating trick! =)

In the end, both the Castor Oil & Sweet Oil with Almond really helped my eyelashes to grow much longer, you can see the differences in as fast as 3-4 days.  I know the picture does make them appear to be the same length, but in all honesty, I feel that the Sweet Oil with Almond helped my lashes to grow a bit faster and longer than the Castor Oil did. These 2 products work a lot faster and better for me than when I had tried to grow them with vaseline. I also applied these to my eyebrows, but they didn't really help them to grow out that much; these products are better for the lashes.  I will continue to use Sweet Oil from now on.

The Castor Oil's texture is a bit thicker than the Sweet Oil With Almond, but they're both very similar to the texture of Olive oil.  They both don't really have much "scent" to them and they are not at all sticky =)

Try these 2 products & let me know how they turned out for you.

    I remember reading that blow drying trick on my eyelash curlers package! Never tried it though.
    I hope I can find the Sweet Oil with Almond here now! Where'd you pick it up from?

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

Can a $2 castor oil product make your eyelashes grow?! Or is it a magical "potion?"

Has anyone heard of CASTOR OIL? ( bottle on the right) I came across this product when I searched on YouTube for ways to help eyelashes grow other than the vaseline I was trying, (well, I didn't want to spend $40 on Rapidlash). I had another YTuber who was using castor oil + olive oil  to enhance her lash growth and thought, why not try it?!    I tried it for a couple weeks but it didn't really make an impact on me. But now, I have returned! and is trying just Castor Oil only this time =) However, I'm doing a mini eyelashes experiment to compare the growth between Castor oil ( will be apply to the right eye) and Sweet Almond Oil (left eye) for 1 month.  Read below to see the benefits of this versatile oil and if my eyelashes even grew between the 2. What is CASTOR OIL? According to Skinverse , Castor Oil is extracted from the seeds of the castor oil (ricinus communis), its color is pale yellow and rather transparent, sort of just like olive oil. It doesn't r...

First Goodbye

  This specific day I said goodbye to something, the first of its kind in my life.It is difficult to let go when something has become part of your life and you will not be the same after it is gone.  I will do my best to focus on other things in my life and getting things done.  I don't regret it though, I'm grateful because we are not rocks nor stones that are untouchable and life brings us events and people to change our lives. Thank you for everything you have given me I now have a thing for rings and earrings, long earrings. The one above is my favorite (Charlotte Russe), it reminds me of mango leaves for some reason and  that leads to the book The House on Mango Street that I will read by the end of this year. Have you ever been in an experience where you never want to be in ever again? I never want to be so cold again, therefore, I always wear a small camsole (is that right?) inside all of my shirts.  I think i'm kind of into lacey clothing items. ...
