Application is easy, and the oil does often get into my eyes. It is a tad uncomfortable, but I don’t get worried because of the all natural ingredients. I always apply it to my lower lashes before my upper lashes so that there’s less of a chance of it leaking onto my eyeballs. lol

I’m not very good with routines, but for the first three weeks, I applied it every night. However, to be honest, since then I have gone days without applying this simply out of forgetfulness or laziness. lol So out of the past 60 or so days, I’ve probably applied it a total of about 40 nights.

That said, I started noticing tiny growths of hair along my lash lines about two and a half weeks after I had begun applying. After that, I didn’t care to check out the progress, and apparently didn’t care as much about continuing the regime (shame, shame, I know lol). Today, I took a picture with my eyes looking down, and noticed that my eyelashes looked very dark and noticeable even though the picture was taken far away, a little blurry, and with a camera phone.

Though I’ve always had long, thick eyelashes, I have seen a significant fullness overall. My lower lashes look a little longer and more numerous. I don’t wear any make-up, so what you see is exactly as they are!

Overall, I would give this product an “A-”. I give the minus simply because I wanted my lashes to be a little thicker. Perhaps if I had followed the regime more precisely I would have gotten those results! Oh well. Great product! Thanks for recommending it to us all, Sesame!

I’m not so sure if Canmake has a new packaging. There’s one that is dark blue but it’s a different one.

For Talika, I did not try it. The reviewer was someone else who wrote about her experience. I saw it at Sephora at ION and also in a shop at AMK Hub.

I haven’t tried Talika but I suspect this product might give you faster results. LashMantra is slower – took me a few weeks – but the good thing is that the effects are lasting plus it’s very safe to use on our eyes.
