Product Review



I recently got Lasik eye surgery, a real blessing as I no longer have to struggle with my contacts each morning and night. After Lasik, you are instructed not to touch your eye area and use eye drops multiple times a day. This combination led me to have a crusty film over my lashes, and a week after the surgery, when I was finally allowed to touch my eyes again, attempting to rub the crustiness from my eyes also removed many of my lashes, which had died in their crusty cocoons. So when I went to try to find a remedy for my now half-bald lashes, my eyelashes were in critical condition.
I picked up Talika Eyelash Lipocils ($38 at Sephora) with the hopes of restoring my lashes to their former thickness. What I got was even better. This product comes in a mascara tube, and you are instructed to use it twice a day, morning and night.
I followed the instructions – mostly, I will admit sometimes I forgot – and have ended up with far more lashes than I’ve bargained for several weeks later. I was happy with my lashes before, but using this product brought out a length and fullness that I didn’t have. They now have a full and healthy look to them, like hair that’s been washed with a really good volumizing shampoo.
If you are unhappy with your lashes, Talika is a great product for you. If you are hesitant about the $38 price tag, a great mascara (see my Wand Wars post for the best products) may just do the trick for you.
Be sure to check back next week as we are devoting the whole week to how to create great holiday party looks.
