Simply put, the Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser is one the most gentle, effective eye makeup remover you will use. Of course, this is merely my opinion, but I think if you try it you could def be persuaded to think the same. It is described as "An oil-free eye make-up remover for waterproof mascara.". I don't wear waterproof mascara, so this just dissolves my regular mascara as if it wasn't there. I know it says its for mascara, but I use it for all of my eyemakeup just as easily.
This is a gel that feels cool to the touch, without any scent. It is not sticky, nor does it leave a film after use. It doesn't burn or sting my eyes, nor does it blur my vision after I use it. I put one or two pumps, depending how much eye makeup I have on, on a cotton round, fold it over to spread it out and then place it on my closed eye for about 10seconds or so. Then I wipe it away - along with my eye makeup. It may take a swipe or two to get it clean, but that is only to make sure it gets it all, not because there are layers of film to wipe away. As for lash conditioning, my eyelashes do feel softer, but I truly can't tell much of a difference with anything else. I'm just more impressed by the cleansing, which I think helps them anyway.
Don't just take my word for it, either. Meredith, from RetroDiva's Beauty Bar recently had a chance to try it and I think her exactly words were something like, "Holy Crap - that really works! I have got to get me some of that!" (*I may be paraphrasing, as there might have been a curse in there somewhere, but the sentiment is the same). If you do try it/have tried it, let me know what you thought & if you didn't like it, I would love to know why.

You guys know that I have talked about Talika on the site before. Heck, I even gave away a Beauty of Your Eyes kit in my blogiversary giveaway. Well, one of the products in that kit deserves a post/rave of its own.

Can't look you in the eye the day after

Ahh, Summer. The time for socializing. I mean, yeah, it's hot, but the nights can be comfy to hang out on the deck, crack open some vino and laughing till really late. Sometimes too late, and too much vino. And you know....you just KNOW, that it's gonna show up the next morning, with the puffy eyes and dark circles. Well, I know of something that can help that.
It's a product from France, called the Talika Eye Therapy Patch. You put this patch on and in 30min you look like a rested, functioning human being. They say, "This reusable patch, spectacularly reduces all trace of fatigue appearing under the eyes. It is a pleasant, effective, natural and comfortable solution for combating wrinkles, circles and under-eye puffiness. The results are visible and have been clinically proven by Dermatologists at the "Hôpitaux de Paris de la Salpétrière".
I say, "You can keep these in the fridge for an added burst of coolness. Put these on and lay down - either to go to bed, or when you wake up in the morning feeling 'under the weather' - and in a little while, your eyes really do feel better." Now, I don't really have eye wrinkles - *knock on wood* - so I can't really speak to the effectiveness on those, but it truly did reduce puffiness and lessen the darkness under my eyes when I had a chance to try them. (*You are not required to keep these in the fridge - in fact the carrying case makes it easy to take these with you.)
You can get these patches online for $62, which includes a jewel case with 6 pairs of patches, that can each be reused 3 times or so. There are also refills available for $56.
Holy crap, it's hot.

I am not even playing. These triple digit temps here in Oklahoma have been miserable. (*what did I say the other day? 104 should only be the answer to what is 52 + 52.) Granted, while it's a chilly 94 today, I *know* that the triple digits will be back. It's Oklahoma. It's what we do. But, since I have lived here my whole life, I've picked up a few ways to beat the heat at the end of the day. And, while the products may change, the thought remains the same.
I have an extra fridge out in the garage, and I have a shelf in the door that I keep a bunch of beauty products that feel oh so good when put on cold.
The things I have in there currently range from toner, to masks, to masque, lotions, sprit and scent:- Ramuan Spa Relaxing Face Mask
- Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque
- Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera SkinCare Lotion
- Talika Eye Therapy Patch
- Avon Skin So Soft Summer Soft Cooling Gel Moisturizer
- Mario Badescu Special Cumber Lotion
- Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater
- Bath and Body Works Black Amethyst Fragrance Mist
- Tammy Fender Firming Eye Gel
In addition I have a couple of other items that doesn't go in the fridge, but are still important for summer use:
I'll let you know in the next few posts why I like this stuff enough to give it shelf space in the fridge.
