Dior DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum 

"What it does:

The newest addition to the family of legendary Diorshow Mascaras, Diorshow Maximizer Lash Primer Serum instantly primes, plumps, and lengthens lashes with an ultra-light and quick-drying formula. The first "active serum" mascara primer also contains a unique cell-conditioning complex made up of hydrolyzed soy proteins that promote long-term lash growth, strength, and vitality.

What else you need to know:

"Diorshow Maximizer is this season's most innovative, must-have product. Apply as a primer serum base under mascara for intensely curled, thickened, and lengthened lashes and also on its own as a deep conditioner for lashes at night." -Sephora Pro Beauty Team Member, Nathalie Bechard

I really noticed a difference with this primer under my mascara as appose to without it. 
I found my lashes were 'healthier' and stronger after using this for only a few times.
Contains alternia: an alga which helps to boost the effects of other anti aging ingredients, it protects DNA from UV rays and free radicals.   

Contains triethanolamine, which is considered a moderate hazard ingredient by the Cosmetics Database, which should cause concern. It can produce sense organ effects at very low doses when used around the eyes. Also there are some potentially harmful preservatives such as BHT and phenoxyethanol.  

This has to be the only lash primer that I have ever liked. As an avid false lash user, it was hard to steer me away from my lashes, even just to try it. After I tried it, I didn't regret it. Don't get me wrong though, I will not be leaving my false lashes anytime soon! However I did find that the this primer did an awesome job of making my lashes look like they were falsies! I would recommend this primer to anyone wanting a longer and fuller lashes.
