Thought I'd be updating this more often...but it's hardly like anyone is reading it anyway!
Have been bothered by the effect of the Botox since I got it. Zero side effects; just not sure I've gotten the desired effect. It's really difficult to know what to expect as a first timer. I can still frown, but it's not at all as strong as it was. My worry is that it's still enough to keep the lines showing. Unfortunately I can't actually ask the person who injected me, but I did manage to get some answers on RealSelf about the expected outcome and whether or not I needed a topup. Some answers were more useful than others. Some didn't even read the question. But it mainly seems like practices differ-some like to completely remove movement, others don't. One mentioned that it should reduce motion enough to soften the lines. I really do think it should be better
This is me at a month (and still struggling to capture it properly on phone camera!)
I'm going to email the office and see if they can find an appointment for me. I could only get in Tuesdays, evenings or weekends for the last few weeks and they said nothing was available.
Now...the Latisse!
I'm still terrified using it every day. They completely dismissed any worries regarding iris colour change in the office and pointed to one of the assistants with blue eyes who had no issues. A bit of Googling showed that light blue eyes weren't the highest risk anyway. My type of eyes are-light brown/green that already contain some brown. There are also unsubstantiated claims of Latisse-induced iris darkening on some blog comments/reviews etc online. I know Allergan claim none in the clinical trial but 100 participants in it is nothing.
I've had some itching and dry eyes with it-mainly the first two weeks. Part of it could be the dry winter air and all the heating indoors too though. I tried morning application for a while-didn't make much difference. I gave up on the enclosed brushes after reading reviews on makeupalley and invested in some disposable eyeliner brushes instead. They are much easier to handle and apply more accurately. As for effects? I'm not sure. Maybe seem slightly longer when I put on my mascara. Pics are below...I'm getting better at taking these ones at least:
Hard to tell!
Next post: teeth that stole Christmas and made me cry, plus planning Christmas away from friends and family!
