While writing my entry on Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Eye Treatment last week, I came across many forumers raving about Canmake Eyelash Essence which is an eyelash base that increases volume while also conditioning damaged eyelashes.  In fact, 14 reviewers at Makeupalley also gave the product the thumbs up, contributing to the 4.4 out of 5 rating.

Most of them reported results after using it for about two weeks and the best part is that it only cost S$13.90, compared to the other more expensive brands like Talika or Mavala.   

Described as containing conditioning agents panthenol and lavender extract, this product helps protect your lashes throughout the day, hydrating them and providing them with greater firmness.  Because it is transparent, you can also use it as a base before using an eyelash curler to give your lashes a longer-lasting curl or as a base for your mascara, increasing volume and helping in the application.

So if you’re in the market for a cost effective eyelash product, check out Canmake Eye Lash Essence.  In Singapore, you can find it at selected Watson’s such as those at Bugis, Parkway Parade, Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, Junction 8 and Ngee Ann City as well as Guardian at Suntec City.
