Product to avoid

Brooke Shields lovely visage flashed upon the TV screen. Here she is endorsing a product that will do away with women having to put up with the HASSLE of ever using mascara again. This stuff will do away with that particular problem of make up forever. It will cause your eyelashes to grow longer and thicker than ever before. Sounds good right? Especially since it has been endorsed by the FDA.
WRONG !!!!
Listen to the disclaimer at the end of the ad. Here are some of the possible problems that the marketers have associated with the use of this particular product, LATISSE:
dry, red, itchy eyes;
darkened eyelids;
PERMANENT eye color change;
hair growth in undesired areas (what ever that means).
I DO NOT have any affiliation with anyone trying to gain monetary retribution for the use nor disabuse of this product. I simply think that if this product hit the shelves in your pharmacy and started causing the problems that the FDA already knows might occur, it would be yanked from the shelves. Then why is the FDA allowing it to be sold to begin with? Smells like collusion to me.
Here is some of the other other information that I have uncovered in my research about LATISSE, besides having you ending up looking like Rocky Racoon:
it costs about $120/month;
it must be used PERMANENTLY to continue to gain its benefits.
Question: is using mascara such a problem that you would risk all of the negatives associated with the use of LATISSE?
The road you choose is up to you. Do you think that the gains outweigh the risks?
My heartfelt advice to Brooke is to disassociate herself from this product.
Brooke you are one of the loveliest women on the face of the earth, but endorsing LATISSE with all of its seriously negative side effects is a no brainer. Keep endorsing toothpaste.
At least that way you won't be perceived as an airhead by the thinking side of the population.
