Mom was kinda a hippie so she had done the home remedies for EVERYTHING when I was growing up. I always thought she was crazy. I just about fell out laughing when I read about this on a few beauty blogs/postings online. I still say mom is crazy!
I coated my lashes with either olive oil every night for a little over a month. They seemed softer and more lustrous. There really wasn’t any growth at all, which really wasn’t a big surprise to me.
I’d say, if you are happy with the lashes you have and just want to condition your lashes, this is a very inexpensive option.

I thought this was a great conditioning treatment. When I was little, I remember being in beauty pageants and my mom would put hot oil treatments on my hair to make it more moisturized and shiny. So needless to say, it wasn’t really a great leap for me to try it on my lashes.
I did this “treatment” for about a month and noticed my lashes were very shiny and soft. They did not grow, which was the point of this little experiment, so I can’t very well give it a good review for that. However, I will continue to use this treatment on occasion to keep my lashes feeling and looking lustrous.
