This was my first time using castor oil and I was a little disappointed so I'll start off with my cons: The package came with everything above just as described, but I did not notice it to work for hair growth as much as I had hoped. I only used it on my eyelashes and eyebrows (applied every night before bed) but I didn't notice a huge difference in growth. I've uploaded a photo of my eyelashes sans makeup over the last 33days for reference, but it's worth noting I have pretty blonde tips of my eyelash hairs so my eyelashes don't look very long in the photos but with colored mascara look a lot longer. Second noteworthy con was the stale smell in the oil. I use very little and usually only catch the scent when applying it to my eyelashes so it wasn't a huge deal, but it didn't smell great. The consistency was thick but oily (go figure) so I found it would sometimes irritate my eyes in my sleep if it somehow found its way in. I only apply it to the root of my lid and the top of the lashes but you have to press pretty hard and wiggle to get any oil off the wand because its so crummy so that likely helped the oil onto my lid and it found its way into my eye after that.The handle of my wand broke after about 2 weeks (see photos) so now I just have a little stump to hold the wand with which sucks. I have no idea how it broke it sits in my vanity drawer all day and night and I don't overtighten things so I think it's just cheap quality. I also found the other utensils that came with the pack pretty useless because you can't swap them on the wand so you would have to clean them after each use or find a sanitary place to keep them in between uses which is just not worth it IMO. The mascara wand doesnt do a great job at applying the oil either and it releases next to no oil without being pressed so you have to be sort of aggressive with your eyelid and lashes which is unreasonable for some people (see my video).Now for the pros: I did notice less eyelashes falling out when I curl them so that was awesome. I also noticed (in my photos) that my eyelashes look darker which is pretty nice as well. My eyelashes also do look like they've grown a bit and my eyebrows seemed to have a bit more growth as well. Another thing I was worried about was breakouts from the oil as I have sensitive skin and breakout easily but this oil didn't break me out once. I actually found using it in my eyebrows helped moisturize them so I got less breakouts there over the last month than usual.All in all I wouldn't recommend this process to anyone as I feel it's more trouble than it's worth, however I will continue to use it and follow through as I've already made the purchase. I may feel it's worth it more in the winter when I tend to lose a lot of eyelashes from brittleness, but for right now at the end of springtime I feel like it has only minimal benefits.
