Dianna GHey! A 'miracle' beauty product that works!
February 5th 2008 01:45
In one of my previous posts, I highlighted the length short eye-lashed women (including yours truly) would go through to possess those long beautiful eyelashes you can bat with. As short as my lashes are, I was not prepared to fork out hoardes of money for an eyelash extension or an eyelash transplant but I mentioned one product that has been clinically proven to stimulate eyelash growth the natural way.
In just 28 days, Talika Eyelash Conditioning Gel claims to give you naturally longer and thicker lashes without regular appointments with your beautician, 2 hour-long sessions and won’t cost you thousands of dollars. The gel is clear and comes in a long white tube and an applicator wand which you apply to your upper and bottom lashes, twice daily, day and night. You can wear it under or over your eye make-up, won't leave any residue on your lashes and won't irritate your eyes. The product contains only natural extracts and is not tested on animals.
When I first heard about Talika, I dismissed it as another gimmick miracle product aimed at the gullible with some spare cash. But when I started envying my male boss his straight, elephant-like eyelashes, I finally conceded and asked a friend to buy it for me for Xmas.
Verdict? When my usually oblivious husband gave me a double take and exclaimed, "Hey, is it me or do your lashes look longer?", I knew the product actually worked. The good thing is I didn't even have to wait 28 days as I noticed the results in a mere 2 weeks. While I would have liked the results to be more dramatic, somewhere along the lines of sultry Salma Hayek's, I couldn't deny that my lashes do look longer and thicker as the before and after pics show -
On the downside, the product is something that you have to use daily for as long as you want your longer and thicker lashes to remain. There are also no appointed distributors in Australia so the only place to buy the gel is from their website for AUD$49.
Is it worth it? Hell, yeah! While many blessed with normal to long thick lashes would scoff or even shake their heads at this in amusement, citing vanity, it is well worth it for those sick of getting dirt in their eyes because of the lack of lashes to protect their eyes from debris.

Katyzzz - you are right, but many people, especially Asian girls like me who are born without the pretty long eye lashes that are flaunted around in mass media - sometimes you have to do what you can to feel beautiful.... (damn you! Cruel world!)

But I still read this post with mounting excitement! There is no such thing as lashes that are too long and thick. Well, maybe there is, but I could stand a little more oomph in the lash department.
But will I actually buy it? I'm not sure, since I don't really need it. I would if the results were more longlasting, or it was easier to get and less expensive. But am still very tempted...
Good on you, Aimz.

I'd never buy this gel, at least.

D, It did! It did!!! I'll let you know if it ever grows past my nose!
Amy, total agreement with you. I'd love to be one of those people who say there are worst things in the world than bald eyes but there are times when you just can't help it!!! Argh!
Michaelie, lucky you. If I had your lashes, I wouldn't buy it either. Now if I can only find an eyelid extension cream...
Cibb, argh! You're one of those guys! My hubby's blessed with them too and sometimes I'm tempted to take a chunk of them out and paste them over my own!

I have short eyelashes, so I can understand your obsession.
