Here's what RapidLash claims:

~Innovative high-performance formula helps thicken the appearance of and improve the condition of your lashes and brows
~The appearance of seductive looking brows and lashes in 4-6 weeks
~Powerful Polypeptides provide effective protection against breakage and naturally supports stronger more voluminous lashes
~Vital proteins and vitamins help replenish and fortify lashes & brows

Now I am NOT looking for making my brows thicker, so I just used this on my lash line. I have been using it since July 9th. I know that I am only 2 weeks in, but I definitely feel and see a difference. I will continue to use this until it runs out or something else happens (see next paragraph).

I have also read some reviews that RapidLash stinges, darkens irises, darkens eyelids, etc. I have experienced stinging (only the first couple nights), I don't think my irises have darkened (see before and after pics below), and my eyelids look a little red but that's just because I had just removed my eye makeup with remover.
The darkening of the irises was a big thing for me because I really like the color of my eyes and I didn't want them to change. But I think they are looking good! I told myself that if they darken I will discontinue use. And I still will if that happens and I will let you know as well.

You may remember from The Lancome Blog I won Ôscillation Powerbooster.

Here's what Ôscillation Powerbooster claims:

~Conditions: to fortify and strengthen lashes
~Primes: to prepare and improve lash surface, separates, defines for a perfect smooth lash surface. Vibrations: Wraps lashes with formula up to 360°, to reinforce separation and coverage; formula is coated onto lashes to allow for mascara to glide
~Boosts the appearance of natural lash growth: healthier base
~Maximizes mascara lash results: maximized effects of mascara applied over it - you will see immediate results; Powerbooster intensifies color, longer lasting mascara
~Results are spectacular: visibly stronger, fuller, longer day after day.

I have been using the Powerbooster since July 2nd.

Maybe the combination has a little bit to do with the growth?

I said to myself, 'Self, that looks a little big for 3 small makeup things.' And I was right!
(Of course I had to open it before I took pics, so let's pretend that's not open already.)

WOWZERS!! That's definitely a lot more than what I won!

Here's the nice card from Kerry. 'Extra goodies' alright!

I have never bought anything from Lancome, so I'm sure they put this tissue paper a box when they wrap something for you. But I just thought it was cute, so here's a close-up of what it says all over the paper. I was also surprised that my camera could zoom in that close!

Here is everything out of it's box.

(l-r) (t-b): Juicy Tubes, Hypnôse mascara, Ôscillation Powerbooster, Color Design Limited Edition Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Quad in Safari Escapade, Bi-Facil eye makeup remover, and Le Vernis, not sure what color--> will post later.

THE BREAKDOWN:

(l-r): Juicy Tubes in Ginger Root, Rose Nectar, Sweet Soy, and Rose Water

Hypnôse mascara in Black

Color Design Limited Edition Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Quad in Safari Escapade

and yours truly in the mirror ;)

I will post what color this is later today, but isn't it pretty?
