@ariella probably a stupid question, but how do you put it on your eyelashes without getting it in your eyes?

So I just kind of dab it on whilst my eyes are open, to start i scoop some out of the tub on put on a piece of toilet paper so there’s no double dipping involved and then whats on my finger I use on one eye, you dont need a lot and then a different finger for your other eye, then you brows and whats left it put up my nose to stop that drying out and getting sore with the runny nose. Xxx

Good tip ! I’ve been using some fancy castor oil on my brows & my lashes that I got from a salon (when I remember, trying to pay attention to my nails too but the amount of hand washing gets on the way!! :rofl:) but think Vaseline will be much more cost effective- thanks for sharing x

I didnt know I had to do this too. Ive just not been touching my eyebrows and just dab when drying. Gonna have to rob hubbus vasaline :rofl:

Thank you @daisyd yes Tuesday is my half way point and will be glad to see the back if EC. :crossed_fingers: no delays as unlike everyone else I dont have the growth injections but lovely nurse who did my bloods yesterday called me (as I asked if she could if she had the time) to say my bloods appeared fine, so after an infection and hospital stay all shouod be good.

Apologies as I dont come in here alot, where are you in your journey.

Thank you for your kind words xx

@ariella I’ll definitely try this. My eyelids are quite sore from hayfever so perhaps it’ll help that as well :blush:
