  • Posted to Naturally Blonde Okay Lashes Growing More Glorious Every Day! - Pottstown, PA on 9 May 2013
    Hi :) Sorry it took me so long to get back to you about this. Thank you so much :) I have been keeping it up and they're looking awesome. I am in love with Latisse at this point. haha. I got it from a couple different locations, but the most reasonable and reliable that I have found is from a site called revoyoution.com. They're really awesome and their prices are very, very reasonable. I get the package in like 2 days after I order it too. Highly recommend them!
  • Posted to 11 Things I Wish I Knew Before Juvederm on 9 May 2013
    Thanks for sharing all of that info :) It seems like everyone had pretty decent experiences. I feel like I could add to this by saying, although I DO love the eventual results from the injections (I get them in the lips to add volume and for the "laugh lines") - I find it to be a very, very, very uncomfortable procedure. I have 6 tattoos - large ones... on different areas of my body. So, it's not a pain threshold thing. This is just very unpleasant. It stings, burns, pinches, etc... and swells up like CRAZY as well as leaving bruising. I found that putting ice on the lips immediately after the injections seems to help, but... I have topical AND dental blocks done and I STILL feel it like no other! I get the tattoos with NO anesthetic whatsoever. I'm not saying they're not painful... they are - but, I find the juvederm injections far more "unpleasant" to endure. It's just a very uncomfortable (and painful) feeling with the needle in there wiggling and dragging around. Maybe it's the location where I am getting the injections? I don't know... However - let me reiterate: **despite having to endure a quite unpleasant experience to get there, I would do it over and over again for the amazing results!!**

    I wrote above, but I wanted to write to you directly... How long ago did you get them injected? Because I had the SAME problem and I was advised to "gently massage" them after lubing up my fingers and lips with vaseline or aquaphor and it really did help!! I was freaking out - some of the lumps were so defined and close to the surface that my skin looked almost transparent over them!! The gentle massaging really helped!! Give it a try :) Good luck!!

    Hey there! I wanted to write and let you know that I had the SAME problem!!! It concerned me significantly... as I'm sure you know! My doc said I could "gently massage" any lumps if I sort of lubed up my lips & fingers with vaseline, aquaphor, etc... and I did that after panicking about the lumps for 3 days and it REALLY helped!! Just thought I would share :) The lumps are basically gone and it was like 8 days ago that I got the injections (round 2 since the first round was basically pointless). Also, for Cutie21 - please don't be too worries!! The duck look DOES go away!!! TRUST me. I have a review on here on my experience with juvederm and you will see how much they deflate. Not that I wanted to have trout pout, by any means, but they deflate soooo much that it's disappointing - hence why I had to go back for a second round of unpleasantness. Try massaging!! and also, I used ice on them for the first 2 days... just a little here and there and that also helped.
