[Hands-on Review] Fixx Lash Extend

Fixx – Lash Extend 



Hi Everyone!  So this is the first review I have ever written.  The purposes of my reviews will be to provide my personal testimonial and experiences, and to also provide honest and neutral comments of the products that I have tried!  Hope you will enjoy it :) 

For my first review, I have decided to talk about Fixx Lash Extend (USA link).
Why?  Cuz most (or all?) girls (and guys!) want LONGER and FULLER lashes!!!!! and this is one of my personal favourites! 

As a very typical Chinese girl, I have VERY short lashes.  Sometimes when I put on mascara, I still do not notice my lashes :( 

This Fixx Lash Extend can be applied on your lashes and brows to increase their volume and length!!

I can only comment of the lashes part though.  I have full brows so there’s no need for me to apply it on my brow. 

SO, WHAT IS IT? 
   
On the website, the primary benefits of the lash extend are: 
  • SymPeptide (Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 and Myristoyl Pentapeptide-8) increases visible volume of lashes and brows by 25% in just 14 days for fast, dramatic results
  • Hydrolyzed glucosaminglycans promotes lashes growth
THEN, HOW TO USE? 

Personally, I strongly recommend this serum to be used twice daily, morning and night. 
I try to use this serum both morning and night.... but sometimes I forget and sometimes I don't have time to do it before I go to work in the morning.
BUT definitely, I use this every night before I go to bed.
It has a brush tip, you twist the cap to push the serum onto the brush, and you close your eyes and brush it on the roots of the lahses and wait for a few minutes before you open your eyes.

RESULTS?  FIRST TUBE:

For my first tube of lash extend, the tube lasted for well over 2 months!!!!!
One tube is one month’s supply, so obviously….. I used way too little...... Not a good sign. 
To be honest, I did not see any dramatic results.  I think my lashes got a bit longer but I wasn’t sure if it’s some inner psychological thinking or if it is real that my lashes grew longer.   
One thing I did notice for certain was when I was using the lash extend, I did not notice any of my lashes falling off when I remove my mascara!!
For this reason, I decided I should not stop lash extend and I should continue using it. 

RESULTS? SECOND TUBE: 

On my 2nd tube, I made a commitment to myself.  I should stick to using it both morning and night AND everyday… and I should apply a lot more of the serum!
So I did and magic came!  
My lashes got VISIBLY longer just after the first week! And after the second week, when I apply my same mascara, I noticed my lashes grew fuller as well!!!!!  WOW!
After that, I started getting compliments from close friends around me! 
People noticed difference in my lashes!! ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
One compliment I will never forget was one day, when I was having lunch with my mom:

Mom:  What did you do to your lashes today?
Me:  (blank and lost) ????? Nothing??
Mom:  Your lashes look different.  Did you put on some fake lashes?
Me:  ?????
Mom:  I see reflection of your lashes.  I see shadows on your lashes beneath your eye!!  It looks so cute! 
Me:  (super excited and had this huggeeeeee smile on my face) REALLY?????

And I immediately took my mirror out to look at my lashes (and the shadow of my lashes) and started telling almost everyone about it!!!!

THE PROS? 
- This lash extend really does work!!!!! It gave me longer, fuller and healthier lashes!
- It’s not only a lash extend that lengthens and gives volume, but it is actually a serum that fortifies each of your lashes!  I rarely see lashes falling off when I remove my mascara now.

THE CONS?  
- It takes time to build a habit of applying lash extend every morning and night (especially morning when I’m in a rush to go to work).  It can get annoying. 
- It is hard to tell if you’re using enough or not.  One tube is one month’s supply, I never knew I was using too little until at least a month later when I realize I still have a lot of serum in my tube.

SUMMING IT ALL UP! 

MUST TRY!  I think… it does not matter if you want longer and fuller lashes or not, but lashes need serum especially if you need to remove mascara.  Plus, it works!

Thanks for reading!
