~Personal Review~
I have always had dark, straight, think, long lashes and when I started getting into makeup/beauty etc properly I bought an eyelash curler one of the metal ones. I applied my mascara first (they wont curl unless I do mascara first) then I curled them. When I apply mascara and curl them my lashes seem even longer!

I actually got teased at school and from my friends for having long lashes that look silly cos there too long! Now I am older I realise there jealous but at the time it kept playing on my mind and making me paranoid about them.

In the end I cut my lashes with nail scissors, I thought if they were smaller no-one would notice and I wouldn't get teased about it. It worked, they were short and I didn't get teased. I didn't cut them a lot just enough so they weren't as long when curled.
After a while they grew back and I ended up cutting them again. After this I noticed they didn't grow back and I was left with shorter lashes than I was born with. I left it as I thought there was nothing out there to help them come back and it was a bad mistake that I did in my younger days and I'm going to pay for it forever.

In my 20's I heard about a product called Talika Lipocils Eyelash Conditioning Gel that apparently helps to grow back your lashes. I heard about this off QVCUK and Alison Young their Beauty Expert was talking about it. I can't remember how much it was then but it was expensive and I thought I'm not buying that I will stick with what I have.

A few more years went by and I thought what was the name of that product again? By this time QVCUK didn't stock it anymore so I did some research and came across it. I found it on there website for £20.00 for 10ml so I thought why not? Better than having shorter lashes.
It didn't take long to arrived, I started using it the next day and as it says apply twice a day for full effect.

I cleansed my face and after applying my beauty products Talika was the last thing I applied. When you take I out of the mascara tube you apply it just like you would mascara. Start from the root of the lashes, give the wand a little wiggle and work all the way up to the tip. I did this twice and I did the same to the bottom lashes every morning and every night.

The solution itself is running so don't think it is the same texture as mascara as it's more of a light liquid. Colour wise it looks dark brown but you can't tell this when it is on your lashes. There is also no smell to this product.

I would say within two weeks I started to see a difference. They started to look fuller and thicker, that in itself I was impressed about. Before I started applying this product I also had problems with my lashes falling out, but I think this was due to mascara being applied everyday and my lashes taking a battering. This had stopped, now I only get the odd lash falling out due to re-growth.

Talika say you will see a visible difference within 28 days of using this product every day, day and night. In all honestly I can't remember when I stopped and noticed as I thought instead of analysing my lashes everyday I will be patient and look at the end result. (I have been wearing mascara but not curling them). It was after the 28 day period and I had a proper look at them. With my eyelashes "naked" they actually looked longer (woohoo), thicker, fuller and felt stronger. Before I could pull them out and not nothing will come out.

I applied mascara and to the side they seemed SO much longer and I was a very happy bunny, I had my lashes back. I curled them and I have to say my lashes are back and there back to stay!

I don't hide my lashes away anymore I liked used to, I embrace them and I cant believe I did what I did so I wouldn't be teased about them.
Now I curl them, flutter them and love them.

Even though I have my lashes back and this product has defiantly worked it wont stop me buying it as its also great as a conditioning treatment. After all you put conditioner on your hair and you don't apply mascara to you hair so why not condition your lashes?

Absolutely amazing product! More than 5 stars.

My only complaint about this product is be careful you don't get it in your eyes as it will sting.

~Would I buy again?~
Yes I would purchase again, even though my eyelashes are back its great as a conditioning treatment for them. Also if they shrink with aging process (boooo) I will be needing it again.

Summary: Brilliant product if you want your lashes back or to condition them
