Want longer lashes? (Wow, that sounded like a CoverGirl commercial.)

Well, now you can get them WITHOUT MASCARA. Yeah, you heard right.

The FDA has recently approved a new drug called Latisse, brought to you by the same pharmeceutical company that gave us Botox: Allergen Inc. They promise “longer, fuller, and darker lashes” with daily use on the upper eyelids for 16 weeks.

Who wouldn’t want that?

But beware of the caveat manufacturers don’t want you to know about. Possible side effects include a gradual darkening of the iris and a darkening of any portion of the surrounding area where the drug touches your skin. Not to mention the possiblility of looking like Chewbacca if it gets anywhere else on your body, since Latisse is merely a hair-follicle stimulant.

Oh, and if you still want to try it? It’ll make a dent of $120 for a 30-day supply. The effects aren’t permanent either, so your lashes will return back to their genetically-determined length after a few months of discontinued usage. Read More »

In a college whirlwind of saucy stories, sexcapades, and scandals I guess I’m just a little confused. Women’s viagra??? Is there actual demand for that?

Womenra (can anyone say pla-ce-bo?) is a drug awaiting approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The pill is said to boost female sex drive. Yeeeeeahhh…

Technically it just helps you reach arousal more successfully, which in turn is supposed to make you want to romp around in bed more often, a fair correlation to make, I’ll give them that.

I don’t know, I guess I’m just old fashioned… shouldn’t the whole physical attraction/love for your significant other/just wanting a good piece of A-S-S be enough?

Silly little pharmaceutical companies, tricks are for kids! And Viagra is for men. A more effective product would be a life size Mark Wahlberg, not that that’s on my Christmas list or anything…
