Sorry about your experience. Juvederm has been shown to be a better option for lips and the tear trough area versus Restylane. Restylane is still a great filler for nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The blue marks (tindle effect) you experience are the results of the Restylane being injected too close to the surface and can be removed with a small injection of Hyaluronidase - the enzyme that breaks down the Hyaluronic acid in Restylane.

The practitioner who injected you should have also recommended Arnica, a homeopathic supplement that reduces and prevents bruising. This can be obtained at any GNC or local pharmacy.
The key is to inject Restylane first then Botox. If it is injected in reverse, the Restylane has the potential to spread the Botox to areas where its effect is not desired, subsequently increasing the chances of adverse effects.
