I am on the fence about which one to buy.
Yes, this has been covered here but I want input from those that have only used the NEW formulas.
Do they really work?
Which is better?
Please, any and all honest input would be fabulous.
I have short sparse lashes. I want to post pics of me before and the after 1 week, then 2 weeks and so on and so on. But do not want to waste my money on the inferior product.
Which do you recommend I get? Any befoe and after pics you could post would be WONDERFUL to help me choose.
Please Help!!!! |

Come on girls don't be shy! LOL Anything you can tell me about either product would help.
The new revised JM has been out long enough now that those using it would know if it works or not. I just need real honest reviews on these two products.
I went through old reviews and the older version of JM was the one really getting reviews. Or the product LUSHLASH was thrown in to the mix and everyone started talking about that.
I only want input on the "NEW" JM or Revitalash.
PULEEEEEEEEZE |

WOW! Not one response
I thought by now the "New" formula of JM would have been out long enough that users could have an opinion -good or bad-
Maybe I will just post in this thread all by myself until there are so many post it becomes a Sticky
I feel very lonely and ignored |

Hi Pippi_Plum!
No, wait! We're here!!!! I have used revitalash now for a few months. Here are some pics of my results:
Before:
After:
and with mascara:
Hope this helps!
I really think it depends on the state of your lashes to begin with, as well as your expectations. These aren't really miracle products but make a subtle and noticeable difference.

Avalange, how come the pictures that were without mascara looked like the lashes got some mascara on them, too? Is it because the mascara from the previous day didn't get washed out completely? |

Pippi
I've been using the new JM since early February and I haven't seen any results other than my eyelids have darkened some (which doesn't bother me and I actually kind of like it).
I read on this board where some others have seen results with the new formula, so my results might be atypical. When my tube is empty I'm planning to try RL.

My sister has been using RL for four weeks and she is over the moon with her lash growth. JM also really worked for me though I had to use it sparingly due to stinging. I still have my JM which I use once per week. I plan to try RL after to maintain and maybe thicken? They are double the length I had before but kinda spindly. My sis also has got great results from using a bit of vaseline on the lash tips themselves. |

Sorry for the confusion, Bira. I took a lot of pictures and chose thumbnails, so I thought it was from the set where I wasn't wearing any mascara. Now I realize that somehow they do not exist. In the first photos post-RL, I AM wearing a very light coat of mascara. In the last photo, I'm wearing Kanebo 38 degrees silk mascara.

I read a post from someone on here about using Vaseline to lengthen the lashes. Does your sister use vaseline on top of RL? (RL on lash lines and Vaseline on tips?) |

Oh ok. No problem. I was just confused because the pictures did look like there was some mascara on the lashes. Thanks for the clarification. |

avalange, your picture does show noticable difference from using the revitalash. You have beautiful green eyes! |

Oh I love these replies!
Okay, a few questions for ya!
Blacklace, did you get these results from the "old" or "new" version?
Cathy_jean, it makes me wonder if the "new" version has LESS active ingredient than the older version. Maybe the same formulation, just less of the "grower"? I remember when the older version was released it seemed everyone saw results early and the results were awesome.
Avalange, would it be possible to take a pic of those beautiful eyes without any mascara? Just to get a better feel of your growth?
So far RL is winning hands down.
I had intended on getting JM actually, but I just don't have enough to go on just yet.
My little puny lashes are crying for something but, I need to make sure which one to choose before making such a big investment. |

I have been using the new JM for a couple of months and have seen good results I will definitely continue to use it. |

Cuddles, how long did it take you to see results? I am glad to hear this! |

i've been using the JM for about 6 weeks now. I have noticed an improvement, but nothing over the top. My 40 year old lashes were sparse and constantly falling out but now they look very nice(with mascara) but in reality i'm hoping the improvement continues. I also apply castro oil to my tips at night and because i'm over zealous, i've been using JM a.m. and p.m. no stinging, no irritating.
BTW I bought the JM because i had 2 friends who's eyelashes ripped out after trying semi permanent lashes...they're lashes are beautiful now and they swear there were bald spots before... |

PPlum,
I used the old formulation.
Bira, she uses the vaseline with the RL as the RL goes on the lash line only. She uses it on the tips. I started too as she swears it helps the whole thickening process and her mascara looks so much better than mine when she uses the vaseline. |

This is certainly on my purchase list. I've been using Talika Lipocils and I've seen some results but nothing dramatic like avalange has seen with RevitaLash. My only concern is that it might sting my eyes. |

I started to notice results at about 3 weeks. Please note that I use the JM 2x per day. I know some people only use it at night. |

I think I am ordering the Jan Marini today.
I really have been trying to see which is better, but after reading everything I can find on the two it seems they run a very close race. So the only way to know is to try it for myself. LOL
Cuddles, do you apply it to your top and bottom twice a day? Or just the top?
My hubby thinks I am nuts to pay so much for a lash product! |

Pippi- I use it 2x per day on both the top and the bottom. The results on my bottom lashes are really significant. I am anxious for the top lashes to get to the WOW state, but I am happy with the results so far. |

Okay silly question...
I was just looking at a seller of JM on ebay. They have have two seperate listings for JM, one as a running auction, one in their store.
The auction is for 92.00 and the one in their store is 119.00. They have different expiration dates. Is one better than the other? It seems many, many more people are buying the 119.00 one? |

Maybe one of the tubes is the old JM formula. Seems that people are willing to pay far more for the old one that the newer version. |
