Three women tried Rapid Lash, an pricey eyebrow and eyelash item. One tester found the product helpful, but all agreed it was too expensive even if it did work.

WHAT IS IT? RapidLash

WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO? Add shine and strength, which enhances overall appearance of growth for eyebrows and eyelashes.

HOW MUCH IT COSTS: $49.95

Sue Davis

Did it work? I tried it on my eyelashes as instructed and had strong stinging and had to wash it off. I then tried it on my eyebrows (one of the possible uses listed) and it burned again. I rinsed it off again.

What did you like about it? The possibility of fuller, thicker lashes and brows.

What did you dislike about it? That I had a bad reaction to it and couldn't use it.

Is it worth the money?

No, since I couldn't use it. I'm glad I had the chance to use it as a sample, because I would have been upset for paying that much for a product I couldn't use.

Would you buy it? No.

Would you recommend it? No, there are other products that can do the same for less. This is definitely a luxury item. Nice, but not necessary.

Danielle Washington

Did it work? Initially, I thought I noticed a difference in the volume of my lashes. However, after reviewing my before and after photos ... I found no difference in appearance at all.

What did you like about it? The overall concept of the product is great. Who doesn't want longer, fuller lashes? However, there was not one positive thing I could find to say about Rapid Lash.

What did you dislike about it? A few times after the application of the product, my lash line was actually stinging a little.

Is it worth the money? No.

Would you buy it? No.

Would you recommend it? No.
