5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect brow color soltion!!!, April 19, 2006

I have medium blonde hair with highlights and lowlights and have been getting my eyebrows tinted at a salon for about 3 or 4 months now to give them some depth. What a difference a little extra color makes! Unfortunately I had to get them done every 3 weeks to keep the color. I decided to try this product as it was way cheaper than the salon of course. Instructions are very easy, no harsh chemical smells at all, very quick, and the results are actually better than the salon, I think. You have control over how light or dark you want them by the length of time you leave it on. 2 steps, done in 5 minutes! LOVE IT!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well enough, some problems (used black tint), September 14, 2008

Summary of Roux Lash Tint: much better than mascara or paying too much at a salon, works well enough, but if there is a better alternative I will go with that.

I paid $60 at a boutique salon to have my lashes tinted, and while I didn't much care for the experience (even though I kept my eyes closed, apparently they fluttered as they stayed closed, and some of the dye ran into my eyes and made me tear up excessively, so some of the dye ran down a bit with the tears - cleaned up ok, but the dye stung my eyes a bit), I LOVED how my eyelashes looked. Like mascara, but natural (ok, maybe the wrong word, but they looked natural!) even the little blonde tips. I recently found out that you can buy lash tints online (and while FDA has a warning against home lash tinting with certain ingredients, neither Roux nor 1000 Hours have those ingredients, from my research), so I'm doing an experiment, side by side.

What I have found - I think Roux is the kind of lash tint the salon used. It cost me about $5 (including shipping) on eBay for a single application (I recommend trying it that way). Nice little mark-up for the salon, even accounting for labor.

The draw-backs of the Roux lash tint experiment:
1) All the ingredients come in blister-pack plastic trays with foil over, and the foil does not come off easily. I had to pierce some of the chemicals with a safety pin to open it, and even then had trouble dipping the wands into the chemicals.
2) The second dye (I guess the first dye preps the hair, the second turns it coal black) turned my fingertips black. The instructions said to use petroleum jelly (Vaseline) anywhere you don't want turning black, and I faithfully ringed my eyes below and to the eyebrow, but never thought of putting it on my fingertips! :) Now I look like some kind of medieval scholar. Oh well, it'll fade.
3) Because I was doing a self-tint, I had to do one eye at a time. I found that the first dye stung my eyes (again) but I just kept a folded-up piece of toilet paper below my eyelashes. The eye I did first is not nearly as black or luscious as the one I did second. That tells me there's a bit of a learning curve.
4) My lower lashes aren't really dyed at all. I went back over them at the end, but they just didn't dye. I think maybe there was petroleum jelly on them.

So... that is my review of Roux. I will be glad to provide an update about 1000Hour lash tint once it comes in from eBay (btw, that one is about $1 per application, but you have to buy a whole box). I have heard from other feedback that with 1000Hour you don't need to keep your eyes shut the whole time, it doesn't sting the same, and the application wand is much easier (like a mascara wand). But I will have to see for myself.

This review is from: Roux Lash & Brow Tint Black 1.5 oz. (Misc.)

I have strawberry blonde hair with blonde eyebrows. Went to the salon a few times to dye my eyebrows but had to go back frequently to maintain the color. The Roux tint last a long, long time even when using on a regular basis (every couple of weeks). Much cheaper than the salon. BEWARE!!! The first couple of times using the tint is a little dramatic...follow the instructions carefully. Once you get the hang of it the results are not so shocking and both brows can be done in five minutes. I'm hooked!
