lash re-growth

ive always had such long eyelashes as a kid. i got compliments ALL THE TIME. however i had a bad habit of aggressively curling them ans picking mascara off to the point were i have like no eyelashes remaining. ive been using the ordinary lash serum for a little bit not and i see the growth coming in but i want it faster bevause i miss my lashes. i do not have the money to buy another lash serum. i took a 2 week mascara break and only wear it for special events or when i need to look good but nothings working that well. help a girl out!
