Mr BBB has been in the US for a couple of weeks, so naturally, he had to do some Mrs BBB shopping while he was there. The Physician’s Formula Eye Booster Instant Lash Extension Kit is one of the (many) things he picked up. Basically, he has now, after many years of beauty shopping on my behalf, realised that the only thing to do is present the list to a kind looking assistant who will blitz through the list in no time rather than struggle on trying to find things himself. He’s previously applied the same ‘never ask directions to anywhere when driving’ philosophy to make up shopping, but this trip had him beat. And it took about three minutes of his time instead of three hours!
Now that my lash extensions are well and truly gone, I’m discovering all kinds of mascara that I couldn’t previously do. I always used mascara on lower lashes though, so I didn’t remain completely out of the loop. So, I’ve seen fibre mascaras before but this is my first proper experience of one, and it’s awesome. Contrary to popular belief, lash extensions (done properly) don’t seem to damage lashes or make them shorter or sparser than they were before. Mine, I think, are in pretty good nick considering, but very different without the extensions. With the Physician’s Formula Eye Booster Instant Lash Extension Kit, they were massively boosted, both in thickness and in length. Unbelievably so. Like, OMG so.
As you can see in the picture above, the product relies on tiny little fibres that stick to the basecoat mascara. I don’t know how it is they don’t stick at odd angles, but they don’t seem to, instead lying flat to the lash. However, if you have eye sensitivities, you’ll probably need to steer clear; I don’t have particularly sensitive eyes but even I can tell that there is something there. I’ve also noticed that the volume dissipates during the day, despite a 24 hour wear claim. In reality, Physician’s Formula Eye Booster Kit doesn’t give you the tidiness of real lash extensions but certainly does raise them up to dizzying heights. I’d definitely use on special occasions but would avoid using daily.. those little fibre bits could get annoying really quickly.
Obviously, Physician’s Formula isn’t easy to get here in the UK – it pops up occasionally in TK Maxx, but this product is one to look out for and to beg anyone travelling to the US to pick up for you.

Just a quick note to let you know you can also get Physician’s Formula in selected Pharmacy’s in Ireland.
You have obviously trained Mr BBB well. If only all men were like that it would make life a lot easier!!
Thanks for interesting news! About this volume “fading during a day” thing.. What exactly happening – these little particles falling off? Somebody says “panda effect” here? (And respect to Mr BBB’s flexibility in accepting new for him shopping technique! :))
lol.. actually I didn’t notice them fall off but they must have because there was less lash at the end of the day than the beginning!
Ooh, what else is on the list?. I am in NY and would love to know what I should grab while I am here!
He bought the Argan BB Cream from Physician’s Formula which I like and also some new Maybelline lippies. x
Physician’s Formula has slowly been trickling into chemists here in Ireland along with Wet n Wild & NYX, so maybe it’ll make its way to the UK soon for you! x

I bought a mascara called Get Lashed from Technic. It also has fibre in the mixture. Is this similar?
