    Default 'Stung' as lip plumper - anyone tried it?

    is this just the same old, same old? (i.e. ebay BS)

    i've read all the threads about lip venom, lip injection etc. has anyone tried this 'stung' thing?

    what's the consensus on a lip plumper that actually works properly?

    Ive never heard of it.... Most of these things just dont work and you spend soo much money on them...

    The only way of knowing if its good is that you buy it yourself....

    Cover Girl has a plumping lipstick in different colors. I forget what it's called, but it's in a silver concave tube. I've got three different colors because it really works! It has cinnamon oil in it, I think; it tingles and it irritates the lips just a little bit so that they swell. I re-apply it every hour or so when I wear it, and by the time the night really gets going, I have really nice plump DSL! I love this lipstick!

    A little bit off topic but still relating to plumping of lips: I got really sick of trying to find a topical plumper that gave any sort of satisfactory results so I just spent $400 and got mine injected with 1cc of Restalyne and it's the best beauty decision I've made in a long time. Doesn't wear off (at least for 6 months), no need for reapplication, it's subtle enough that I definately noticed plumping but my friends don't ask if I got hit in the mouth with a baseball bat, and it didn't hurt. Wonderful stuff. I know not everyone is interested in this kind of thing and it may be kind of extreme for some, but I'm really happy with the results. Just thought I'd share. :-)

    Here in LA it's about $425 to $475 for 1cc - and with Restalyn they only give it in 1cc ammounts. You can get some in your lips and if you don't want it all there your PS will suggest that you get some in your nasiolabial folds or any other lines (which under 35 ppl don't really have). I didn't do that though. My PS put in about .7 of the cc in my lips and then had me wait a week. After that I decided that the rest should also go in my lips. Again, 1cc is very realistic looking - it's just a plumping measure. I am so so so so happy with the results! If you need any more info, please pm me.

    1 cc? That seems so little...

    You know, I had some great before and after pics on my cell phone but the damn thing stopped working and so I lost all my pics. Grrr. But I'll get my digital camera out later on and take a pic so that you can at least see. Maybe I"ll search around on my computer for a close up of my face from before so you can compare - I'll see what I have.

    Also, to the person who said that 1cc seems like so little, it kinda is but you really don't need much. Some girls who have thin lips to begin with (mine are semi fullish naturally) will may use 2ccs, 1cc for each lip but let me tell you, you can definately tell. It won't look fake or duck-ish, but the before and after would be dramatic. It's funny, 1cc when you are talking about boobs is a laughable ammount, but when it comes to your lips, it's often more than enough.

    Well, first the doctor numbs your lips by injecting the inside of each lip with novocaine, about where lips and gum meet similar to what your dentist would do before filling a cavity or doing any other sort of dental work. That is the worst part although I did not really feel any pain at all. Within about 2 minutes your whole lower face goes numb. Then in my case the doctor put the Restalyn on the inside of both my lips in two places - some for the right side of each lip and then some for the left side. Then he smooshes it around in you lips to ensure it is even. That part kind of hurt a little.

    Let me just tell you girls that you need to go striaght home afterwards and stay there for at least 3 days because you will look ridiculous at first. In fact, I was kind of scared that I'd made a huge mistake because my lips were *so* swollen, but after the 3 or 4 days you can reintroduce yourself to society as a normal looking human being. Total swelling will be gone in 7 days.

    For about two weeks you can actually feel the Restalyn in your lips and it is firmish, but after that it softens and then you lips feel like, well, lips. It is also a bit tender at first but that too goes away in about 2 weeks.
