I was very skeptical about this product. But let me tell you something, it works. The end of my right eyebrow has been almost bald for years from overplucking when I was younger, and after about a month or so of using Talika it's grown back to the point that I don't have to draw it in anymore. It hasn't made a dramatic difference in my lashes, but they do appear slightly thicker and longer. As others have said, my only gripe is with the design of the applicator which makes it difficult to apply to the base of my lashes.

i used the Liposourcils - same ingredients but spongetip applicator which makes the application to the base of eyelashes much easier than with the mascara wand that Lipocils has, and it's a little cheaper than Lipocils as well (around €13 at Sephora in France).

the packaging is very nice, with its handy little mirror on the container & the product didn't irritate my eyes.

after using it once a day for two month, i don't notice a significant difference: my lashes might be a little longer, a little fuller but nothing dramatic. that being said, hair can't grow past a pretermined length and it's very well possible that my lashes were close to their maximum length & can't simply grow more.

it's probably best to give it a try yourself, certainly a YMMV product.

This stuff is amazing! My lashes grew longer and thicker in less than a month of use. I was very skeptical before trying this for myself, but it does somehow work. It is pretty expensive, but since this is one product that actually does what it claims, its worth it.

Expensive, but worth it. The Lipocils aren't a miracle, but I have noticed a definite growth in my lashes. I would highly recommend this to everyone!

I use this day in, day out - a wonderful invention. It really does make my lashes thicker and slighter longer after just 3 wks. After you let it dry, it helps to build up volume under mascara as well! I would highly recommend this, the bottle lasts a good several months. (I use the eyebrow one for my lashes as you can apply more product easily compared to the tiny brush they give you for the lipocils)

The first time I bought this, it was b/c I'd had a eyelash curler mishap (don't ask :-p) that broke off several eyelashes at the base in the middle of my eyelid. I bought this at full price from Nordstrom to try to speed up the growing of the lashes that had broken. I was skeptical, but I have to say I was sold on this after a month or so of 1-2x/day use. It really did help my lashes to grow in faster and thicker. I bought 3 tubes of this last yr at TJ Maxx for like $8 ea, made me sick that I had paid $35 for the same thing at Nordstrom! Now I try to use it at least 1x/day and my lashes look so good--thick and long, that I really wouldn't need to wear mascara---I do b/c I love mascara, but have to be careful 'cause too much mascara now makes me look like I am wearing false lashes!! I will con't to buy, hopefully at TJ Maxx!

I got the one for eyebrow because indeed the tip is a lot easier to get the liquid onto the lashes. I have used it for half a year, and my lashes grew longer and fuller dramatically. The result was noticeable within the first two weeks, but I kept using it in hope that it would help my lash grow even longer. And it did. I have stopped using mascara because just no need unless on special occasions. I am very happy about it, and as greedy as I am, I would keep using it for even longer lashes.

Wow! I was so skeptical when I tried this, but I have such short sparce lashes, I needed to see if it would work... and it does! Have been using this for 3 weeks, and what a difference! Being quasi-scientific by nature, I asked another person to look at my lashes and tell me if one side were longer than the other... then I started using it on the eye with the shorter lashes, on purpose. After one week, I asked another different person if there was a difference (not telling that I was using something on my lashes). This person said that the same group of lashes were still shorter... my hopes sunk, but I kept going, as I noticed a tiny lash was growing in a previous bald spot. After two weeks, I asked another person and asked if they noticed any difference... this time, this person said they were equal in length. And I have to admit, the bottom lashes of the experimental lashes seemed thicker... but I am biased. Finally, I asked another person (I am runningout of friends to ask now!) what they thought... and she said that the bottom lashes of the experimental set were much thicker and longer, and the lashes on the top were nice... the bald spot not has a little thin lash growing there! So... will re-assess in another four weeks, and maybe then my "control" lashes will get a treat as well! RAVES for this!! My only major gripe is the packaging... very hard to deposit this stuff onto the base of the lashes!

Eyelashes - apply morning and night and within 3 to 4 weeks lashes are longer! Eyebrows, same thing! Talika Gel Lash Conditioner removes ALL eyemakeup including mascara. Brilliant! and it conditions your eyelashes. I would use everytime. Best thing I have ever tried to remove mascara. No panda eyes in the morning.

This stuff is great! I purchased this online at a great deal. ( I bought 2 tubes and got 3 free! So I ended up paying around $40 for 5 tubes[shipping was free, although it took like 3 weeks to get here since it came from MALAYSIA!) ! It takes a month to really notice results and it is kind of a pain to apply this stuff morning and night. But it really does make a difference. I applied this to both my top and bottom lashes and both have become noticeably thicker and longer. I agree though it's not a miracle product but it something I will continue to use. Here's a little visual to help you understand how much growth/thickness Talika lipocils will give you. My eyelashes now look how my old ones looked with a coat of mascara. A little extra length and alot more thickness. I've only been using this for a month though and I'm already spotting new growth too. Talika Lipocils have become a definite must in my beauty regimen!

I'm usually reeaaaally doubtful about stuff that claims to "grow" or "shrink" parts of your body, since we all know that that usually never happens :P

So I was really surprised to find that the Lipocils actually *did* make my lashes longer! I've been using it twice a day for a month, and I can already see the difference. The lashes on my bottom lid were originally almost non-existent.. but now they're most definitely visable and my upper lashes are noticably denser.

I'll keep using this!

this is the best for short lashes.i have been through tubes of the stuff as usally i am quite harsh with my lashes and tend to come out with abuse from mascara!i have found the sponge tip much better(eyebrow lipocils) than the mascara brush type(lipocils),it doesn't matter that i use the eyebrow one with my lashes cuz both of them are the same ingredients.it works much better and you can apply more gel on the lashes.

It does work, but of course don't expect a miracle to happen.

My lashes are now much longer and stronger. It helps eyebrows to grow faster as well :)

I have always disliked my short, sparse eyelashes. However, after using the lipocils twice a day for over a month, my eyelashes are noticeably longer, thicker, and I have even spotted some new growth. I have two gripes about the original "lipocils." First, the applicator is shaped like a mascara spool so it is hard (read: painful) to work the product into the base of lashes where it needs to be. Second, it has the same ingredients as the comparatively cheaper eyebrow lipocils. The eyebrow lipocils contains almost twice as much product (0.24 oz versus 0.14 oz) for the same price ($30). Also, the eyebrow lipocils comes with a sponge tipped applicator (like for glosses) that is great for applying the gel straight to the base of your lashes. So while I love the lipocils, I'll repurchase the eyebrow lipocils instead.
