First it was frozen foreheads. Now it's Betty Boop eyelashes.From the wonderful company that suggests the injection of harmful bacteria (Clostridium) into your body comes a new product of banality...but hey...as all your pals cover their faces in a sandstorm...you'll be able to proceed full speed ahead and look good doing it.
Allergan, the company that turned an obscure muscle paralyzer for eyelid spasms, Botox, into a blockbuster wrinkle smoother, hopes to perform cosmetic alchemy yet again. At the end of the month, the company plans to introduce Latisse, the first U.S. government-approved prescription drug for growing longer, lusher lashes.
The product has the same formula as Allergan's eye drops for glaucoma, called Lumigan. It is one of several drugs in a category known as prostaglandin analogs, which are meant to reduce dangerous pressure in the eyeball. But as a side effect, the treatment tends to make the eyelashes of many patients longer and fuller.
We keep getting shallower and shallower...
