Babe Original Essential Lash Serum 45 ingredients
I don’t hate this but I don’t love it either. It left some questionable bumps above my eyelashes, not too noticeable though. It definitely makes my eczema around my eyes flare up, but not too often. I’ve noticed some growth length wise, but not so much that it’s life changing lol. I’m pretty sure I bought the year long supply, and that year is almost up and I will continue to use until it’s Show more
