TALIKA LIPOCILS EXPERT {REVIEW}

Over the years I've found that my lashes and brow colour have
become lighter and my interest was piqued when I saw this product
from the French brand TALIKA 
Lipocils Expert 
is a unique treatment that acts not only on eyelash growth, 
but also on their curvature and natural pigmentation ...
Never heard of TALIKA? 
neither had I, so here is a brief overview of the brand.




1948
As a nurse at the Paris Hospitals in the ophthalmologic service, 
Danielle Roches was treating burn victims from World War II. 
Her life, and that of women around the world, is about to change. 
As Paris is in shortage of medicines, she concocts a plant-based healing 
cream to treat the eyes of her patients. 
She then observed a side effect as unexpected 
as it was astounding: their eyelashes and eyebrows grew dramatically. 
Danielle Roches has just discovered the 1st treatment for eyelash growth.


Packed into the mascara wand is the Talika Mythical Plant Complex,
 a combination of plants that have been stimulating the growth of 
women's eyelashes for 70 years.

The conditioning serum claims to:
Stimulate eyelash growth,Boost the natural pigment
 Strengthen and curl the lashes, whilst slowing down lash fall.

96% of the ingredients are of natural origin.
Tested under dermatological control and it has 
4 PATENTS

After 30 days of treatment, eyelash growth is stimulated: 
the eyelashes gain 36% in length (average +2,1 mm *),
 their pigmentation is naturally darker (+ 50%), their curvature increased **.

Morning & evening as a 28-day treatment, to be renewed every 3 months.
Apply to the base of the lashes using the foam tip, then to the lengths from
 the roots to the tips of the lashes.


I was so wanting to report back to you that this product was amazing,
but I sadly cannot.
The product is easy enough to use, as you just apply to the lashes
like you would a mascara twice a day, however after 30 days of
applying I personally didn't see any change in my lash length, fall rate
curl or condition, however I did notice that my lashes did appear 
slightly darker.
Along with applying to my lashes I also used on my eyebrows, 
as I felt that it should work on the brow hairs and again I noticed 
a change in the darkness of my brows.

Having practised good skincare habits since the age of 15, I really
struggled with remembering to incorporate this product into my
twice daily beauty regime and there lies my problem.
After the 30 days were up, I just didn't reach for the product anymore
and unfortunately despite having many more applications in the wand
I abandoned the idea of conditioning/growing my eyelashes.
Perhaps with longer use I would have seen more of the results 
mentioned above, so it would be unfair of me to condemn the product 
by saying it doesn't work.
I'm a little disappointed though in both the product and myself and
I do feel that I have failed somewhat with my review of this pricey product,
 but HEY HO that's sometimes how it goes...

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {SEPTEMBER 2021}

I have another 4 exciting products to review for you this month,
3 are French, of which one is from my fave brands and the 4th is
from a much loved South African brand.


 L-R


BYTERRY 
BRIGHTENING CC 
PALETTE

I really didn't need anymore face palettes, but I'd had my eye on this
pretty number from BYTERRY for sometime, and I simply couldn't resist its
 beauty or the versatility, as this palette can be used on the face, as a blush,
bronzer and highlighter, as well as on the eyes, in fact anywhere that needs
some illumination.
The outer packaging is simply stunning and hopefully I will be reporting 
to you very soon that the product is just as stunning.



RAIN
BOTANICAL
CLEANSING GEL

I've been trying many cleansers recently and I will soon add
this cleansing gel to my cleanser reviews and the local brand
RAIN rarely disappoints.



TALIKA
EYE THERAPY PATCH

Where the eye area is concerned I've always been a little fanatical
and I have been using specific eye products since I was around 21
years of age and I have never regretted it for one second.
This eye patch from the French brand TALIKA is the first reusable
smoothing instant patch that targets all of my concerns:
Anti-wrinkle/Anti-dark circles/Anit-puffiness


DIOR
ADDICT
LIP GLOW
LIP BALM

Having worked for DIOR, many moons ago, I've tried very little from
 them in recent years and a DIOR boutique recently opened at Gateway
which is far too close for comfort, for my purses liking. 
For my 1st purchase from their beautiful boutique I opted for the
much loved and praised Lip Glow Lip Balm which is a
natural glow custom colour reviving lip balm that
offers 24hrs hydration & 97% natural-origin ingredients.



As always my full product reviews will be posted over the next few
weeks, so don't miss out on any of them by following me on my
 social media platforms.Links in the side bar.

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {AUGUST 2021}

What a month July has been and I, personally, am glad its over
and hopefully August will be a much better month.
The riots and unrest in KZN certainly made it onto many peoples
"worst time of their lives" list.
I have 4 products to review and this already fills me with hope
that it will be much improved on July.

I was kindly sent two new products to review from ELEMIS SA,
which excites me greatly, as I am a huge fan of the brand
(as I'm sure you can tell if you read my blog regularly or follow
me on FB & IG).

The Lip Sleeping Mask has long been "my" lusted after 
lip product and I finally got my hands on one.
The 4th product is a little out of my beauty comfort zone, as I'm
slightly sceptical about whether
an eyelash growth serum can actually deliver on its claims.





L-R

LANEIGE 
LIP SLEEPING MASK

After such a long wait I finally laid my hands on the iconic
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask.
Having lusted over this leave on, overnight lip mask for so long 
that I do hope it doesn't disappoint.



TALIKA
LIPOCILS EXPERT


Lipocils Expert is a unique treatment that acts not only on eyelash growth,
 but also on their curvature and natural pigmentation ...
Not a beauty product I would normally opt for but I'm willing
to put it to the test, as with many things associated with ageing, the 
eyelashes do become lighter in pigment and more sparse, so this
will be an interesting review.



ELEMIS
PRO-COLLAGEN
ENERGISING MARINE
CLEANSER

My love of ELEMIS has grown over the past 24/36 months with
each product that I have tried and reviewed.
I was so kindly sent this cleanser by the brand and be assured that will
 not detract from me giving an honest review.



ELEMIS
PRO-COLLAGEN
RENEWAL SERUM

I do love a good face serum, so I'm looking forward to trying this
Retinol alternative facial concentrate over the coming months.
Having used a serum from ELEMIS previously, and was very impressed,
I have high hopes for this one.
