Skincare Saturday: RapidBrow & RapidLash

RapidBrow and RapidLash

Trying out growth serums kind of freaks me out to be perfectly honest. Like… what the heck is the product actually DOING that’s encouraging follicles to grow?? BUT, I’ve got pathetic eyebrows so I’ll gladly give natural remedies a shot!

I have both RapidBrow and RapidLash  to test out, and be warned, the packaging tells you to wait a LEAST a month or two before you’ll notice results. So with that in mind, I’ve been using these absolutely every single day since the beginning of March.

RapidBrow is an eyebrow enhancing serum featuring “Hexatein 2 Complex, a unique proprietary mix of six highly effective fortifying ingredients, essential proteins, vitamins and other moisturizing and conditioning ingredients to boost density, while adding shine and softness. RapidBrow is ophthalmologist tested for safety and easy use.”

RapidLash is an eyelash and eyebrow enhancing serum (although I only ever used it on my lashes) and features “Hexatein 1 Complex, a unique proprietary mix of six highly effective ingredients. Dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, safe and easy to use.”

I’ve been using both products at night before I go to bed for the evening. RapidLash is the small eyeliner type brush and I’ve been painting it on as if I were applying eyeliner. RapidBrow is the spoolie brush and I’ve been combing that through my brows nightly as well. Neither of them feel “weird” or “wrong” in terms of texture or feeling on my skin, but I did notice my eyes took a little getting used to for the RapidLash. It didn’t burn or anything, but I think I got a bit in my eye (which you’re definitely encouraged NOT to do!) and it felt a bit *different*. That feeling went away after the first week.

But you’re here for results! So here’s how it looked on me after just over two months of daily use:

As you can see, I barely have a tail to my brows. I don’t pluck my brows at all and never suffered the 90s curse of overplucking back in the day, so what you see is just my natural growth (or lack thereof) over the years. I definitely see more growth on the tail of my brow (particularly the especially LONG hair at the end!) and it’s actually made a noticeable difference to me because it provides a better guide when I’m applying my eyebrow products in the morning.

My right side didn’t develop the extended tail that my left side did, but it definitely got a lot bushier right around where my arch is supposed to be. I can also see some baby hairs coming in as well on the tail.

As for eyelashes, I had no great before and after shot since they were all at varying angles that weren’t very descriptive. So I thought I’d show you what I’ve noticed the most: The lash growth serum seems to affect my lashes at different rates. The arrows are pointing to some of the exceptionally long lashes that I ended up with as a result of the serum. It’s definitely WORKING, but I didn’t seem to get consistent growth on every single eyelash. Rest assured though, it definitely looks natural!

The other area I noticed (which is not visible unless I have mascara on, which is why I’m showing you a shot from my Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof review) is that the lashes in the middle section got REALLY long.  I’m lifting my eyebrows a touch in the shots above, but when I’m looking face on, those middle section lashes actually HIT my eyebrows – something I’d definitely never experienced before!

Final Thoughts

I definitely feel like both RapidBrow and RapidLash are working although it seems to be a subtle change. I’ve personally  enjoyed the results so much though that I’ve continued to use these products nightly even after I finished my testing period, and I think that really says a lot since so often bloggers will get through a testing product and either just discard the product or move on to the next thing to try. But I’ve enjoyed adding these into my nighttime routine because it’s such an easy step to do. Also, bonus points to the sleek and simple packaging – I was able to bring these with me to Iceland last month since they’re so small and compact!

RapidBrow seems to be improperly labelled on Ulta’s site (lists it as RapidLash) but it can be purchased for $39.99 USD there, you can also pick up RapidLash at Ulta.com for $49.95 USD.

  1. I sooooo wanna try the brow one. I have some sparse areas where I really want to kick start some growth, especially since my kitty scratched me on the tail end (pun not intended) of my brow.

    1. It’s funny because the actual wording on the information kit doesn’t quite say it ENCOURAGES growth, but hey, I saw fresh new baby hairs!
      And awww kitty just wanted to show their love! 😉

    1. The mascara is definitely a good’un! And yayyy! I’m glad someone else can see the difference too – I know *I* can, but it’s my face, so it’s kind of easier to tell.

    1. LOL I’m just picturing you with super duper long lashes reaching past your eyebrows! 😉 And shoooooot! So many people got stuck with the 90s brows. 🙁

  2. I’ve been using Rapidlash for about a month I love it .but purchased rapidbrow by mistake (opened,can’t change) want to use on my eyelash I need to know if it can hurt ??? My brows are fine ..Any advice appreciated .

    1. Hi Katy! I’m not still using it. I didn’t feel like my natural lashes needed enough of a boost from the product to warrant the price tag. I liked them for what they did, but it’s not a purchase/repurchase for me. Hope that helps!
