** Congratulations to Paige #21, who was the THIRD number I got from Random Integer Generator, but the FIRST person who actually followed my SIMPLE requirement for entry! The first two people have NO idea what they're missing!! (Yes, I'm a stickler for detail, especially when a contest is as simple as this!!!)**
A few months ago I was contacted by Xtreme Lashes to see if I might be interested in trying AMPLIF?eye Lash & Brow Fortifier, a new product by Jo Mousselli designed to "grow longer, thicker, darker, more plentiful lashes…without the risk of Rx side effects." I'm a natural skeptic when it comes to product hype, but because I have pitifully sparse eyelashes I figured I had nothing to lose and potentially eyelashes to gain.
Researching the product and watching a video describing AMPLIF?eye, I discovered:
- AMPLIF?eye is the strongest, side-effect free, peptide-based product proven to grow lashes (peptids are amino acids, the basic building blocks of hair and lashes).
- The peptides penetrate the lash line and into the lash follicle to stimulate hair growth and strengthen the root structure.
- Its formula is based on a potent complex of peptides, vitamins and nourishng extracts.
In contrast to a well-known prescription brand that I'll choose not to name out of courtesy, AMPLIF?eye does not rely on the hormone prostaglandin to stimulate growth.
A few weeks into using it morning and night, I began to see a difference; my lashes were fuller and longer. The results weren't extreme but they were definitely perceptible. It was much more obvious when I applied mascara–then there was a dramatic difference. The biggest compliment I received? When Angela, our Face2Face make-up artist extraordinaire asked me if I had been using [the well-known prescription brand] lash fortifier! You can use AMPLIF?eye on thinning eyebrows, too, but as I've already established with excessively generous, caterpillar eyebrows I have no need for that!
AMPLIF?eye's offical launch is next week (that's why you haven't heard about it yet–this is cutting edge, people!!) and you have a chance to win a full-size sample valued at $119! All you need to do is comment to this post telling me about your favorite beauty discovery.

Thanks to Xtreme Lashes for providing me a complimentary sample; nothing makes me happier than to be able to speak favorably on a product's behalf when it delivers what it promises!
That is pretty cool! I am always skeptical too! I also like to stick with natural products if possible. A favorite beauty discovery of mine is Prime Time by Bare Escentuals and/or Face Perfector by Avon. These are thin creams that you put on your face before applying make-up. They fill in lines and even out skin tone. Works pretty well!
Nice! I wish I had longer lashes (especially the bottoms) – my are sparse, short, and invisible. I have to wear eyeline EVERY DAY just to make my eyes pop out, otherwise you can’t even see them.
I’m loving the new serums for the face as opposed to the creams and lotions of yesteryear. They go on so light, and soak right in. My new fav is Resveratrol Drench X5 Intense. It’s on my desk so I can put it on whenever!…..like right now!
Ooh!! I need this!!! Please pick me fo the samples!!! My lashes are non-existent Top And Bottom.
My beauty discovery is Eye Rescue by Skin from Dr. Gram. It goes on smooth, feels great and wakes up my tired eyes. Thanks for the chance to win something I really need!
My newest discovery is Burt’s Bee’s hand cream…but I use it on my feet! I, too, would love to be chosen, as my lashes are super thin!
Great tip for puffiness under the eyes; use Preparation H and gently pat it on with your ring finger.
i twittered about this as well: http://twitter.com/lisaasyler
Ok, here it is for me, and yes, I’m already blushing that I’m about to admit this: I choose to wear mineral makeup because the ingredients are so pure that I can go to bed with it still on and not suffer any breakouts as a result. It’s terribly lazy of me, and I love it.
thanks for the tip
So I have used all kinds of different makeup and to this day I have not found any product that does what it say’s I used to have comments on how pretty my eyes used to be and now that I am older the pretty is gone never hear it anymore, I seem to have puppy dog eye’s now so, I would love to try it out to get that pop back in them and I’m pretty sure the xtreme eye makeover would be a great thing to try.
I LOVE the Xtreme Lashes Glide Liner & Wishful Blinking! This new products look terribly exciting!
Xtreme Lashes are SO good at keeping bang on trend with current beauty needs; whilst keeping the integrity of the company with regards to safety & using beautiful natural products!
Can’t wait to try it & tell my friends all about it!
Happy Holidays everyone!
I’ve felt a hesitation to ever try the other-afore-not-mentioned brand you didn’t mention but I would feel much more comfortable with something like this.
Now just finishing the great-postpartum-shed my eyelashes are back to miserable and pathetic. My two year old – no my NEWBORN has better eyelashes than I do. Lol!
I’ve always wondered if this works – good to hear it does.
My beauty trick is to use an applicator to apply liquid foundation. I throw it away after a week and my liquid foundation lasts much longer without getting yucky. Before I did this I used my fingers and it would get gross and wind up being thrown away before I used it all. Wasteful!
I posted on my Facebook

Hmm…I’ve been curious about this type of product, and hearing that it works gives me confidence to try. I would love more lashes, but my brows do NOT need any grow magic, than you very much!
Recently I had cervical surgery and my lashes have seemed to lost there length due to antheisia and I would love, love, love to get those lucious lashes back..I need help please with my lashes and my brows and maybe this will be my last surgery so I dont have to cut my hair or loose any length. Id love to try your product and see how well it works on me. Thanks and God Bless! Happy Holidays!! ;*)
My favorite beauty discovery is an organic facial scrub that I use often. Love, love, love it!!
OOH! This looks so neat! I would love to try it out, it would totally beat putting on and washing off the fake lashes I have stashed away…that glue is nasty! I have caterpillar eyebrows…have you ever tried to give a caterpillar a haircut? serious business. Just sayin.
My best make-up discovery was Physician’s Formula loose powder foundation. Nice, even coverage, no cakey look on my face.
My lashes are very light because of my complexion. I’d love anything that helped make them more noticeable!
I’d love to try this! I’m practicing some extreme make-up techniques (for fun, mostly) from Miss Chievous at http://www.misschievous.tv/, and I’d say that was my best make-up discovery in a long while. If you need actual make-up, I’d say the Naked palette of eye shadows from Urban Decay. Fun and practical!
My lashes need alot of help! I am a freelance writer and would love to do an article about this product.
I have done an article on Mac Paint Pots and how they help with eyeshadow creasing. I hope you check it out! Thanks!

Being cheapy mc cheapersson when it comes to beauty products, it took me an age to admit that drugstore makeup WASN’t covering my dark circles. I finally succumbed to the siren song of YSL’s touche eclat concealer and I’m so glad I did–I never look like I’ve gotten a full 8 hours but 6.5 hours of zzzs are now written on my face. Not too shabby!
Unlike my lashes, which are pitiful. Please, please, please to pick me!!
I also have wimpy eye lashes, so I use false lashes every now and again. It would be nice to not have to depend on them.
My most favorite beauty find was the Mac Paint Pots. I focus my makeup on my eyes. It comes in different shades, so you can pair the shade with your eye shadow color to really intensify the look. It also acts a eyeshadow primer.
Extreme Lashes has changed my life!!! Would love to improve my thin, short, sparse lashes….but until then I will have my extensions…..Extreme lash extensions!!!
my best makeup find is cake eyeliner. It lasts forever. You paint it on, take off what you don’t want with a Qtip and you’re good to go!
Need the lash fortifier next!
