My Best Brows & Eyelashes: Brow & Eyelash Serum Review
Longer Looking Lashes
Thanks to Rodan + Fields for sponsoring this post and helping me get my best brows & eyelashes! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
If there’s one thing I’ve always wanted, it’s long lashes. I remember as a kid telling my mom that I loved looking at my babydoll’s eyes open and close because her eyelashes were so beautiful. Clearly that enthusiasm never went away because twenty years later I found myself 6 months from my wedding and debating eyelash extensions. My short, sparse, pale lashes seemed so far from how I envisioned myself as a bride, and I didn’t know what else to do. I decided to try one last option, and I am SO glad I did! Rodan + Fields not only helped me achieve the look I always wanted for my special day, but also changed the way I look at myself and gave my self confidence a much needed boost!
By the big day, my lashes were wedding ready and then some! I will always look back and remember how beautiful and confident I felt, and I definitely owe Rodan + Fields for so much of that. I love my lashes and still use the Lash Boost serum every other night for maintenance. No way am I saying goodbye to these beauties!

My Best Brows & Eyelashes: Serum Review & Application
Rodan + Fields Lash Boost is a nightly serum that uses a combination of ingredients including keratin and biotin to enhance the appearance of longer, fuller, darker lashes. It comes with a simple paint-on applicator so you can really be precise with the application. ( To give some perspective, I once bought a bottle of olive oil sans applicator because rumor had it, it would help my lashes grow…let me say I didn’t notice any improvement, but DID managed to spill the entire bottle on myself one night. Enough said.) Needless to say, I was a fan of the streamline, easy application.
It’s recommended to start using the product every other night and then work up to once every night so I started slowly, and after the first few weeks, I was applying every night. A simple sweep of the brush over my top lashes and then I’d hop into bed to dream of long wedding worthy lashes. A month in, I could definitely notice a difference. The most obvious was how much more lifted my eyelashes looked. Naturally my lashes tend to grow in a straight forward pattern, but they were clearly starting to look curlier and bolder. Even though I have very sensitive skin and wear contacts, I didn’t experience any irritation during use. Over the next few months of nightly applications, my lashes went from understated to stunning! Not only did they appear longer and fuller, but they also looked darker and more dramatic. For the first time I years, I stopped wearing eyeliner because I didn’t need it to help make my eyes pop! I felt like I wasn’t hiding something I was embarrassed about, instead I was showing off one of my favorite features. It’s incredible how changing one thing can make such a difference.
Invisible Brows No More!
A few months ago, Rodan + Fields came out with their Brow Defining Boost and I KNEW I needed to try it after how much I’ve loved my results with their Lash Boost. If my eyelashes were pale, then my eyebrows were basically transparent. Bold brows are SO in and for good reason! They help frame our “windows to the soul” and can really make or break a makeup look. I love the bold brow look but often find it hard to find a product because I prefer mine to look naturally full rather than drawn on. I was really excited to try this new product because it’s supposed to help volumize AND thicken brows over time. It’s also a much cheaper alternative to microblading.
Rodan + Fields Brow Defining Boost uses a special combination of ingredients including cellulose fibers and castor oil to help your brows look fuller instantly and over time. It’s also pigmented so not only are you helping your brows long term, but you also immediately definite their look. Using the Brow Boost for the first time, I was so taken with how natural the gel color was. One stroke is enough to give your brows a lightly pigmented appearance, while a few swipes really provides a bold buildable look. The gel comes in 4 different colors, and I found the second lightest pigment (medium) to really match my natural shade. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t just the long term benefits that wowed me about this product, but the makeup side, too! I’ve tried quite a few eyebrow tinting products that don’t even come close to the natural fibers and coverage of Rodan + Fields Brow Defining Boost. Did I mention that it’s also waterproof? That means I can apply a quick swipe of the Brow Boost before hitting the gym, and I don’t have to worry about my eyebrows running down my face a half hour into my workout. Amen to that!
I began using the Brow Boost every morning after finishing my makeup, and it’s now become part of my daily routine. Just like with the Lash Boost, it’s the consistency of using the product that really leads to lasting results. After about a month of using the Brow Boost, I started noticing that even after washing my makeup off at the end of the day, my brows didn’t look as sparse or patchy. Another month into using the product, and I was seriously hooked. My brows appeared bolder, and so much more defined.
Both Rodan + Fields Lash Boost and Brow Defining Boost are in my arsenal of MUST have products and have helped me achieve my best brows & eyelashes! Not only do they help me look my best, but they help me feel my best.
