Why would I be talking about Latisse (women's beauty product that grows lashes)?

First for people who do not know what it is, let me explain.  It initially was a glaucoma medication that was found to cause growth of eye lashes and so it started being sold as a eye lash growth product which some people claim it can also grow hair on your head.  Sounds pretty darn good right?  Everything sounds good at first.  Then you wish you didn't join the taliban.  *cough* uh.. I mean.

Both men and women persue better looks and more power to impress.  Why?  Whom?  I can partially understand because the society believe in and judge people based on physical appearance and that can cause someone to have better success than others.  It is a fact, but not one I would want to promote.  No, I am not saying I'm ugly.  I wouldn't want to live without success.  I would want to be as successful as I always hoped.  I would want to pursue that dream.  And so I can understand why people would want to look good at workplace.  I can also see that it gives people self confidence.  And it makes them more attractive for approval by others.  But why is THAT so important?  Whatever happened to self belief and not caring what others think?  Yes my blog is funny and interesting damn it.

Latisse has side effects just like any other drug.  Yes it's a drug to help grow lashes, but there are down sides whcih includes, permanent eye color change, and eye lid pigment change.  It doesn't sound all that bad really compared to so many drugs out there but those still are side effects.  Is making yourself look better for OTHERS so important that you are willing to risk side effects that includes unwanted permanent changes to your skin?  Some may try to say "oh it's not to impress others, it's for me"... really?  Who really gets to see the make up on your face?  Who really gets to see the longer eye lashes you have?  Unless you are walking around with a mirror in your hand at all times and staring back at yourself and stumbling over other people, you are NOT doing it for yourself and you ARE trying to impress OTHERS who see your face.

Ladies, if you love yourself, shouldn't you love yourself at all times, longer eye lashes or not?  And if what's important is your self belief and confidence then the good practice will be walking out to the sunlight without any makeup on and letting your natural beauty shine.  From your inner and outer.
