I used to think that when it came to aging, there was no use fighting mother nature. I was okay with the greys that peppered my hair, and even with the fine wrinkles around my eyes—if nothing else, I was healthy and exercised regularly, and didn’t look older than my age. But when my lashes started to noticeably thin out in my late 40s, I started to really panic about age for the first time. I didn’t know what to do, because I felt unattractive without my healthy, thick lashes, but I didn’t want to go against everything I believed in and use harmful chemicals to turn back the clock. When a friend told me that I could stimulate growth naturally with a VEGAMOUR lash serum, I was skeptical—I’d already tried vitamin supplements (totally ineffective) and looked into Latisse (seriously crazy side effects, I don’t want my eyes to change color)—but I was willing to learn more.

Browsing their site, I saw that VEGAMOUR is natural and vegan, and has been proven to work just as well or better than brands that rely on chemicals or animal hormones. Apparently, VEGAMOUR works by stimulating your body’s natural ability to produce hair. My first thought was: Could it really be that easy? And then: What if it’s really that easy? Although I still wondered if it was too good to be true, I can say that I liked browsing their site. I felt like they were speaking to real women like me, and didn’t promote some impossible standard of beauty. My skepticism hadn’t totally gone away, but I knew I had to try it for myself to be sure. So, I ordered a tube of vegaLASH Volumizing Serum to put VEGAMOUR to the test.

When I was younger, I had enviable dark lashes and the fact that they were thinning made me feel like a completely different person. So, despite my healthy disbelief, I was actually pretty hopeful when my delivery arrived. The serum looks just like a tube of mascara. And just like mascara, it’s safe for everyday use, since it only has natural ingredients like mung bean and red clover (which is apparently a powerful source of phytoestrogen—who knew?). I decided to give it a month before coming to any conclusions, but around day 20 that I noticed that my lashes were longer, thicker, and way less delicate and brittle. I could wear eye makeup again without feeling like an old lady. It’s safe to say I was kind of blown away by the results.

A few months later, and my lashes haven’t lost their edge. Now, I get a lash and brow combo plan delivered every 2 months, which means I save on my order (it comes to less than $35/month) and don’t have to keep refilling. Friends have even been asking me about how I got my lashes to look so good, wondering if I’d tried a new brand of makeup or hair growth hormone. I know some women like to keep their beauty secrets hush-hush, but now that I’ve found something that really works I want to shout it from the rooftops. Aging might be natural, but so is VEGAMOUR, and there’s no reason why every woman shouldn’t be in on the good news.
