I really want longer eyelashes but I am skeptical of the products that claim they do this successfully. Has anyone had any luck getting their lashes longer? Is it possible at all?

Thanks!

I don’t think it is. I’ve looked into it. I have short eyelashes that are almost blond, so even if I don’t have a great answer for you I have ample sympathy!
