Whether you prefer a natural or glam look, we can all agree lashes can really make a difference to a look. Beautifully thick and full lashes will never go out of style. 1000hour has an option that not only provides an illusion of thicker lashes by just simply being an eyeliner but it also has an active ingredient that plumps eyelashes.
1000 Hour Xpress Lash-Gro eyeliner is a liquid eyeliner that gives the appearance of thicker, fuller and longer lashes. The eyeliner is formulated with the active ingredient capixyl, allowing eyelashes to be plumped in four to eight weeks. It is water-resistant and smudge-free. It is available in Black and Dark Brown and retails for AUD 29.99. It can be purchased at Priceline.
My Experience
The liner comes in a pretty standard liquid eyeliner packaging. The brush for the liner isn't very thin nor is it very thick. Doing a simple line on the top lashes line is easy to do, however I did struggle creating a flick for a cat eye look as the brush tip was too flexible for my technique of eyeliner application.
I had the dark brown shade which is quite a dark warm brown shade. The shade is perfect for everyday eyeliner application. The formula does not have a scent and is quite wet. It does take a minute or two for the liner to completely dry on the skin. However, once it has it is water proof and smudge proof. The formula reminded me of liquid eyeliners that MAC releases in their limited edition collections. Unless you rub really hard on your eyes, the liner will not budge. I found it easy to remove with just a standard oil based eye makeup remover or just standard makeup wipes.
In terms of lash growth, I honestly did not notice much difference in my lashes in the first week. However with continuous use I did notice that my lashes where starting to look healthier in the sense that they had a natural shine to them without mascara and they felt stronger. They felt stronger in the sense that when I would rub with a makeup remover soaked cotton pad that I did not notice anymore lash fallout.
Overall
I think in terms of being a liquid eyeliner, it is pretty good. It does the job and lasts pretty much all day without any smudging. The only issue I had was with the application when I was in the mood for a cat eye look. In terms of lash growth, I did not really see much of a difference in the number of lashes I have or their fullness but I did see an improvement in the condition of my lashes.
I would recommend this product to those who are looking for a liquid eyeliner that they can use on the daily to help improve the condition of their lashes.
