That's how its effectiveness as a hair-growth dealie was discovered -- it was prescribed as an oral medication for (IIRC) angina, or some cardiac thing, and one of the side effects was notable hair growth.

And this, boys and girls, is why in drug trials we want to know *anything* that happens, good or bad!!

I often leave the house without makeup. If I'm going out of an evening, though, I usually pit in my contacts (without them, makeup is usually only lip gloss) and wear eyeliner, some photo finish, maybe powder, and lip gloss. If I'm feeling fancier, mascara. If SUPER fancy, maybe fake eyelashes and shadow. I do like the look of the fake eyelashes, but Latisse scares me a bit (though I too have heard the eye color changing was really only when putting it IN the eye, not the lash line)

How does Latisse supposedly change eye color? If I use it would I get amazing eye lashes and violet eyes? Would I have to get back to singing practice so I could live the dream cliche?

I thought it made the eyes browner?

It can cause the eyes to go brown-ish, as I recall when my mother went on it for her glaucoma years ago. She was miffed that hers remained green, because she's WEIRD.

So it will do nothing to my eye color, got it.

Not that I can justify spending the money on it right now, so I won't be buying it. But I am curious about the stuff.

I tend to go seasonal on my makeup, as in I forsake it late spring through early fall and start phasing it back in once the weather turns cooler.

lisah, I would LOVE a copy of your band's song!

If I recall, Vaniqa, the cream used to inhibit facial hair growth in women, was originally a treatment for African Sleeping Sickness. They had stopped making the drug and selling it in Africa--even though it was an easier, more effect treatment for sleeping sickness--because it was too expensive.

A side effect of the drug was inhibiting facial hair. It was out of production for a very long time until someone got the idea to market it for facial hair treatment! Let's let poor Africans die from a treatable illness until some woman in an industrialized nation wants to fight peach fuzz.

The problem with any hypothetical relationship I would have with Neil DeGrasse Tyson is that during arguments I would be bound to yell "You demoted Pluto."

I realize we've sort of moved on, and I should be talking about Neil deGrasse Tyson (but won't), but: for work, I wear Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation and some blush, and that's it. I should probably wear more lipstick, but eh. I do put on chapstick semi-obsessively. Weekends, no makeup.

I feel like I'm living in a freaking rainforest.
