Lumify Redness Reliever Eye Drops, Bausch + Lomb

3-lumify

These redness relief drops were a hit south of the border and are now (finally!) available in Canada. We can attest to the fact that they are fast and effective, working to constrict the arteries in your eyes thanks to a low dose of brimonidine in just a few minutes. A single drop in each eye is enough to make your eyes brighter and whiter. They’re perfect for special occasions! Although they’re sold at the drugstore, you may need to request them from the pharmacist to ensure they’re suitable for you before trying them out.

Spritz this mist onto clean, nearly dry strands focusing on the roots, and finish blow-drying as usual. Not only will it help give your style more volume, but it’ll also add shine and softness, too.
