Eye Candy

That is how a new drug is being marketed. 

Are you unfulfilled because you have skinny eyelashes? Did you know the definition of Hypotrichosis is to have inadequate or not enough eyelashes. Have you often wanted to have lots of long and lush eyelashes? Well have no fear. There is a new prescription drug that you can use every day for the rest of your life so that your tiny lashes will become plump! Just think. Now you can take a pill to make yourself skinny and use another drug to make your lashes fat! 

We truly have become a society that wants it all and with little work on our part. Putting drugs onto your body for a minimal difference in a eyelash seems absurd to me. They say the only side effect may be temporary itching of the eyes. Or how about skin pigmentation changes that may or may not go away. And then, of course, once you stop using this drug, your eyelashes go back to being skinny. 

I can't imagine using a new (unknown really) drug for the rest of my life for eyelashes. We are truly becoming a society that wants a pill and quick fix for everything.
