"Growing" Your Own Real Eye Lashes and Eye Brows

Almost every Bride wants more eye lashes – longer, thicker, darker lashes. While that can be acheived through Makeup with mascara and fake eye lashes on the Wedding Day, the following miracle products have made it possible to "grow" your own real lashes!

The Original Talika eyelash cream



This cream was made from plant extracts and originally formulated as an anti-bacterial cream to heal eye contour injuries. Its amazing side effect – visible growth and thickening of the eyelashes – was discovered by chance by Ms Danielle Roches, a Medical Doctor during World War II. TALIKA became the secret of many movie stars and other glamorous women. Its formula, never divulgated, remains the only product for more beautiful eyelashes.


Talika Eyelash Lipocils Gel



This is an oil-free gel formula of the eyelash cream. It comes in a slim bottle with an applicator shaped like a mascara wand.

This is exactly the same product as the Eyelash Lipocils Gel, except that the applicator has a spongy tip (similar to a lip gloss applicator). I personally prefer this applicator for both the eyelashes and eyebrows, as the mascara wand applicator of the Eyelash Gel tend to poke the skin when I tried to apply it close the base of my lashes.

All of the above Talika products are made in France.

Many years ago I had purchased another product which made a similar claim for longer, thicker lashes (I've forgotten the brand name, only remember that it was made in Switzerland). Unfortunately that one did not do anything for my lashes, even after extended use. Because of that experience, when I first heard about Talika, I was rather skeptical, and, therefore, went on to read all the consumer reviews I could find. Eventually I had read reviews from over 300 users before buying the above products. From those reviews, about 90% of the users had found them effective.

I started using Talika at the beginning of this year, and am happy to report that, Yes, it does work!

If you are interested to try, please be patient and give it 3 to 4 weeks. Over a period of time you will notice that your existing eye lashes look stronger and longer, and some "baby" new lashes will be sprouting from where there used to be none.

As a Makeup Artist, I have also encountered many clients who have sparse or "broken" eye brows. These ladies need to colour their eyebrows daily in order to look "normal". Lot of work indeed. The Talika Eyebrow Lipocils Gel is an excellent remedy for such sparse or over-plugged eye brows.

Full-size Talika products are retailed at $47-$51 each. However, you can order them at 35-40% cheaper from Fabov Canada. They ship to Canada and USA. Free shipping is available for orders over $100 and free local pick-up is also available for Vancouver customers.
