Catherine Markhene was livid after discovering her daughter, Lily, was put in isolation for a half of day at her school, Wooster High. The reason? Wearing fake eyelashes to class. Thankfully, Catherine found a solution that will blow your mind. 

Lily came home in tears and told her mother how the school forced her into the bathroom and told to peel her lashes off. Even after doing it, the school still forced her into isolation for the second half of her day as punishment. 

Catherine was told by the school that Lily’s lashes were against their strict dress code policies, but that didn’t keep her from backing down. Catherine explains,

“Both Lily and myself have been cursed with short, brittle lashes. I feel her pain when she’s with her friends who can all easily apply a little mascara and have beautiful long lashes. I was the one who encouraged the fake lashes, because it’s one of the only things that has made me feel confident when going out.”

Catherine didn’t back down… she let her daughter wear fake lashes the next day. This did not make the school happy.

Again, Lily was placed in detention for the day, missing most of her classes and even refusing her to have lunch. The school called Catherine and even threatened they would suspend Lily for the rest of the week if she showed up again with fake lashes. 

“She’s not a bad student, she’s never been in detention before, it just made me madder and madder that the school cared SO MUCH about something so simple.”

“I don’t understand how fake lashes would have any impact on her school work.”

“I did not want to back down, but I knew I couldn’t let my daughter miss more school.”

Thankfully Catherine’s good friend was with her when she got the call from the school. 

“I was with my good friend Nikki, and I was venting, because it felt like my daughter’s problem was mine, too. We both had terrible looking lashes. I was venting and I told my friend Nikki I wish my daughter and I had natural-looking lashes like hers.”

Nikki laughed, “They’re not exactly 100% natural.”

Catherine was confused. “But they’re not fake,” Catherine said. 

“Nikki told me, no, she had been using Liaison Lash Bond, an eyelash growth serum that provides nutrients and peptides to trigger longer, thicker lashes.” 

“I was totally stunned. THIS was the solution. I asked Nikki how to get them and she sent me to the Liaison website that amazingly offered 50% off my first purchase.”  

Liaison Lash Bond helped both mother and daughter have longer lashes

Both Catherine and Lily started using Liaison Lash Bond every night. 

“It’s super simple, you just put a little on your lashes every night and let it do it’s work. It feels like placing water on your eyelid. We were expecting HUGE results, but it actually takes about three weeks.”

“I could not believe it, I started recommending Liaison to all my friends. They are always asking me why my eyelashes are so long, and now I tell them, it’s because of Liaison!”

We wanted to talk further with our investigative reporter Stephanie Marianne who researches makeup brands and products to advise on the best deals available. We asked her to look into Liaison Lash Bond to find out if it really does help condition and lengthen your eyelashes. Stephanie tells the story.

Personally, I never believed in the effectiveness of eyelash serums. There’s a lot of brands out there claiming they work, but most don’t, and many use ingredients that can harm you. I’ve had too many friends tricked into buying serums just to find out it’s a waste of money and their lashes are worse off than when they started. So I’ve avoided it at all costs.

But when I heard about Lily and Catherine's story, something clicked. Then, I remembered just a few weeks earlier, my best friend, who I trust with my life, said she had just started using Liaison’s Lash Bond. She said she was expecting it to work within 4 weeks. I, of course, didn’t believe her. But then I went to visit her to see how her progress was, and I was stunned. I could see her eyelashes getting healthier and longer. Then I asked to see the ingredient list….

I begged her to let me borrow her Lash Bond. Instead, she gave me a secret 50% off code, SECRET50, and I ordered two bottles immediately.

I received the package within two days and started using it that night. The application is very simple, a small amount across your eyelashes before you sleep. It feels like placing water on your eyelid. Of course, I woke up the next day expecting a miracle… but alas, it takes longer than that to see results.

So while I waited, I looked into the science of Liaison. I wanted to know how it worked, and what it was aiming to do with my lashes…

Step 1: When you apply Liaison, a fresh supply of oxygen and citric acid work away at lash waste, releasing it through your pores to be washed away and clearing the way for nutrients.

Step 2: Our specialized mixture, including purified water and hyaluronic acid, activates internal peptides and gains access to follicles to prepare for bold growth.

Step 3: Polypeptides travel deep into your roots, supplying follicles with essential proteins throughout your day and while you sleep.

Step 4: Refreshed lash follicles continue to receive the optimal oxygen, blood flow, and dose of nutrients needed to keep lashes healthy and strong.

After about 3 weeks is when I began to notice the color of my lashes getting darker. 4 weeks and I noticed I didn’t have to apply as much mascara. By week 6, it was as if I was a totally different woman. Of course it wasn’t like Yang’s 8 inch lashes, but definitely more improved!

Since then, I’ve continued to apply and my lashes have only grown thicker and healthier. The amount of money I save on mascara from having to use less product is now used for Lash Bond.
