i don't what got into my mind when i decided to buy this eyelash tonic. i don't have problem with my eyelash. for me, they are okay in length, although if i could change one thing, it would be to have more fuller and longer bottom eyelash. but i've seen people buying eyelash tonic from japan. i don't know which one to get, so i decided to get dhc one since i've seen some people talking about it. when i was in japan, there are two types, the blue and yellow pouch, and the other one is pink and blue pouch. i didn't know what is the difference between them, so i bought the yellow one which is the original. the pink one is called beauty extra.

| the tube |
the packaging: it comes in a plastic pouch, it has combination of blue and yellow for the original version. at the back there's description but everything is in japanese. you just rip the pouch and the tonic is inside. it's packaged just like mascara tube. it has transparent plastic body so you can see the tonic inside and it has white screw cap with the wand attached to it. the bristles is similar to eyebrow spoolie.

| a bit description in japanese |
the product: it looks like a thick transparent gel lotion. since it's transparent, sometimes it is difficult to see that i've coated all my lashes, but i can see my lashes get wet, so there's something on my lashes for sure. i've once poked my eyes accidentally and the tonic stings a bit.

| the spoolie |
the result: i've used this for almost 3 months both on my upper and lower lashes every night. for my upper lashes, at first i didn't notice anything. but then i read another review. some people said that it makes their lashes stronger and using mascara is easier after using this tonic regularly. then i realize that i never see my lashes fall since i use this tonic. usually when i rub my eyes there's some fallen eyelash. but after using this tonic, i never see any fallen eyelash. my mascara wears better too. somehow it curls easier and it stays that way for 4 hours even though i didn't curl my lashes beforehand. then i started to look closer for my bottom eyelashes. i notice that there's a bit new eyelash growing, but it's not super lengthening either.

all i can say that you need to use this tonic regularly, everyday if you want to see some changes. the changes is slow too, but you need to be patient. it does work. though it's not super lengthening and super volumizing like other eyelash tonic, let me remind you that this one is really affordable, so i'm quite happy with the result. i hope i can see more growth on my bottom eyelash. in the picture, it's not clearly seen, but up close, i can see my lower lashes is growing a bit. definitely a steal.
