Holy Grail Products

Anyone who loves cosmetics and beauty products knows that there are some products that simply cannot be out done... I am not talking about the occasional "great mascara" or "I like this color lip gloss," I am talking about those products that when they run out, you are literally running to the Drug Store, Make Up Counter, Sephora, Ulta or anywhere close that has it. Over the years I have acquired some that I consider my Holy Grail Products:
LATISSE

I know what you are thinking, "really..?" I have seen the commercials, it can't be as good as it seems. Lets just say I am an eye lash fanatic... I wore false lashes almost every day in high school and college and would constantly get complimented on them. When I got my corporate job, the lashes had to go (per my mom) so I then went to lash extensions. The lash extensions were great until I couldn't book a fill appointment and they all but five fell out. Having five super black long eyelashes randomly left on your lash line is not attractive lol. After that my lashes were even more stubby then they were before... I was so frustrated because I thought this was going to be my end all solution. My mom felt so bad as she recommended the lash extensions that she bought me Latisse. My initial reaction was this is a gimmick Mom, you just wasted your money. However, I started using the Latisse and I am on my fourth bottle and it is like Miracle Grow for your lashes, no joke. People stop and ask me what mascara I use, what false lashes I am wearing, how I curl my lashes, you name it, I get asked it ALL THE TIME. This product made my lashes fuller, longer and actually able to hold mascara on them for the day. I will never not use this product...eye lashes may not seem to be a huge deal until you have them and you realize what they do for your eyes. I put a coat or two of mascara on before I go to work and I literally have huge lashes all day. I know the cost is a little much, but if it is worth it to you, it is a great investment. I have gotten everyone hooked on Latisse from coworkers, to family to strangers. Definitely A+ holy grail!
