WOW WOW WOW

i have been using it now for exactly 28 days and they are LONG, THICK and BLACK.

I use it twice a day, and have been sing an eye liner brush with it, putting some on my lash line with it.
too bad i didn't take any before pix. the lower lashes are so long and just shiny and black. how? i haven't used the product on the lower lashes. but i'm not cokmplaining. the first week of using this i lost quiet a few lashes, but NOTHING since. with Lumigan, i lost at least half of my lashes, when they were already sparse. i could actually count them before, now it's impossible.

i love it. and will continue using it.

LOL... what is it with the lower lashes growing bigger than the upper???
My product for lashes makes my lower lashes grow longer than the upper...why??? My theory is that applying to the upper the product migrates to the lower and it concentrates there making the lower grow bigger, but who knows.
Congrats!!!

I used this a while ago, and had success, but the success stopped after a while. Result is not permanent. I know another EDS member also had a great success on talika lipocils. She even posted pictures showing her success, but she has also moved on to something else.

This is a great product. I've used it in the past but dropped it when I had to make some budget cuts.

I didn't post any pictures but I had great success with the Talika also I used it at night and as a base (very conditioning) under mascara. I am using a different product just because of the price difference and luckily it works for me. Smile

This isn't like the ones with prostaglandins, I never had any lash loss after stopping, mine just gradually returned to normal. Smile

It´s a very good product and easy to apply. Didn´t cause any irritation at all on my sensitive eyes and it was the only affordable (but still expensive for my budget Sad

product that really worked on my lashes. I´ve also seen it on ebay at a very reasonable price but I wonder if it´s the original?

i have the lipocils regular lash serum and the new expert lash serum. i used the expert serum for one week and noticed my long lashes feel out. did anyone else notice this??? perhaps this was just bad timing and my lashes were ready to fall out regardless?

i'm kinda scared to use it again. its sitting in the fridge for now till i can muster up the courage.

Hey Hey BabyDoll Smile

I have only used the original formula, that may be the case about the natural shedding. Were you using one of your other products in that stash of beauty products before switching? That might play into the lash loss? Sorry that happened to you!

i used the lipocils expert in the evening, while using my regular lash growth products in the morning. i used all of the concurrently. Very Happy

cuz i'm a crazy gal and i like to use everything ALL at once.

?? its not recommended to use several products together? if used together it can cause lash loss? Confused

i didn't know that. yes, my long beautiful lashes fell out... they seemed to shed all together in the span on 2 days. i'm a little uneven now...but i think it matches my crooked smile anyway! Very Happy

good to see you angel!
i've been busy busy working... and shopping on EDS too... waiting for a big box to arrive soon. yayaay!

ps also got the opal sonic...wanted 2 but they only had one left. i wanted to do double fisted eye massages but i guess i'll have to resort the one handed method.

whatcha using on ur lashes now? i have 2 lipocils regular and 2 expert in the fridge now. hmm

m...what should i do???

free skin care · Tue Apr 27, 2010 9:04 pm

BabyDoll,

It sounds like a little bit of overkill there with the lash products. Most find that they use the heavy duty prostaglandin type everyday until reaching the desired length and then cut back to a few days a week for maintenance!

The conditioning types like ecrinal and regular Talika can be used daily without problems by most people. Smile

HTH

You are just extremely enthusiastic about beauty products! In this case I think cutting back once you have those long flirty lashes back is the best choice! Smile

BIG HUG

thanks for all the review on this product. i stumbled upon it when someone was comparing it with L'oreal's new lash serum. I was considering PSF's new lash product but it costs more!

free skin care · Tue Jun 22, 2010 4:54 am

I´ve tried the Talika and it didn´t really work for me. The L`oreal serum made my lashes thicker but did not see any difference in the lenght. Despite this the loreal is a good mascara primer if you let it dry completely before applying the mascara. It also makes my mascaras last longer. Even when they start to get dry i can still use them with the loreal serum for another month.

I have said this in the past but again it seems that nothing works for all, it's just the way with all cosmetic products great for some, nothing for others and at times a downright nightmare for some. Confused

oh man you guys are really dampening my mood. i was so bent on buying this... i kinda still am. i've tried Mavala and it didn't work. I didn't try Loreal cos so many said it didn't work. Someone did a comparition between Loreal and Talika (one on left and one on right) and it was a really good review. Talika came out better between the two.

Now then there is a whole load of cheap Talika on ebay from HK/China. Guys... did you get them from there? I am wondering if those are fakes. They sell them at 20% of the retail price (not OFF but OF).

But DarkMoon is right, some work some don't. Guess you just have to try. I'm just thinking this one costs less than PSF. Might be good for a start...

free skin care · Wed Jun 23, 2010 7:32 am

Don't be disappointed but DarkMoon is right. You have to try to know if it works for you or not. I know it sucks cause sometimes it's a lot of money wasted until you find your "holy gray"but it happens Smile

free skin care · Wed Jun 23, 2010 11:39 pm

how do you know which one to buy from? i don't think i wanna try out paying full price from EDS. it's a $50 gamble...

free skin care · Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:07 am

Yeah, like I said it comes as expensive trying new products but sometimes u r lucky with what u get. i can´t really tell you which one to get. I haven´t found my eye lashes holy gray either Sad

I like Lóreal as a primer though and most people are very happy with talika

It is just trial and error like so many things something may give someone fantastic results yet not do anything for someone else.

Wouldn't it be great if things worked for all and just did what they claim? Dare to dream huh? Rolling Eyes

Indeed it would be, then we could all spend time raving about all the fabulous products and results! Not to mention how large our CD's are from saving all that money! Laughing
