Bat for Lashes

RevitaLash

You’ve always approached so-called miracle cures with a healthy dose of skepticism. (Suuuure the Hollywood 48-Hour Miracle Diet works.)

Here’s a product that actually lives up to its hype: RevitaLash eyelash conditioner.

Dr. Michael Brinkenhoff created it for his wife when her eyelashes became sparse and brittle during chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer. Once hers grew back — longer, thicker, fuller — everyone wanted in on the secret.

Apply it like liquid liner to the base of your lids every night before bed and within three to ten weeks you’ll be giving butterfly kisses that are out of this world. Results vary, but we hear the product works so well that some lashes grow to Twiggy-like proportions.

The tube will run you $150, but it lasts for three months (some even stretch it out five or six). What’s more, the company donates a portion of its proceeds to finding a cure for women’s cancers.

Hallelujah, amen.
