Compared to the high prices of some of these other eyelash conditioners, at $38 I thought Talika was a steal. Now, if only it actually worked!
I’ll start off by saying that the instructions called for me to get this on to my eyelid and over my lashes, but gave me a big ole mascara brush to use. Now really? How does that work without me poking myself in the eye or getting it all over my eyelid? Obviously, I had some problems with application.
It’s been a month now and haven't really seen any dramatic difference at all. I should have probably known that a 100% plant-based product with no active ingredient couldn't possibly thicken or regrow my lashes faster than the normal growth cycle.
Maybe the vitamins and minerals in it are doing a little something to help them look shinier and healthier—even a little thicker and more voluminous when I applied mascara.
If you want to pick this up just as a volumizer and conditioner, I would say go for it and the price really isn’t too bad. But, if you actually want to grow your lashes, I would not recommend using Talika Eyelash Conditioner.

Talika calls itself a French formulation that promises 100% plant based hair growth. I did not see any of this whatsoever. I watched my lashes each day and my mascara usage to see if I could notice any additional volume or extra length. While I was incredibly religious in my efforts, I only saw minimal changes. My lashes did seem to have more of a shine to them and they also seemed a little thicker. It was just hard for me to tell much change.
Also, it was somewhat awkward to apply this considering the brush was so large. I kept poking myself in the eye with it, which caused some irritation, but I don’t think that was from the formula. Oh yeah, the formula itself also wasn’t what I would call a gel base. It was much more watery than I expected.
If you want a moderately priced eyelash conditioner I would say Talika is a good choice, but just don’t fall for the idea of “growing” your lashes. I can’t say that it did for me and I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you either.
