1. Talika will never make your eyelashes look as thick as they do when you wear fake ones. It really just makes them about twice as good at the are right now- like you with mascara. If you are going for something more dramatic, you might make to consider getting fakes.

2. There are a few products that work like Talika- strengthening your lashes and keeping them from falling out so they’re the best they can be. Some, like Ardell are a lot cheaper and do work, some like Revitalash are way more expensive but may work slighly better. I think Talika is a good balance and price and effect but other people might be looking for more effect or be unwilling to spend this much.

3. You have to use this basically forever. A tube lasts months and it takes a second a day to do it, but it’s not a treatment that you do once or once a year. Missing a day or a week is no big deal but if you stop using it after about a month they go back to normal. If you’re not prepared to incorporate it into your permanent beauty routine then you’re only going to have a few months of good lashes. I’d encourage trying it out though, you might find you really like your new lashes and it’s worth the trouble. No more difficult than applying mascara everyday and this way you look great when you get up in the morning before you do anything!

Hope this helps.
