The solid-form Source Naturals Skin Eternal has worked best for me so far, but I also take Jarrow BioSil in liquid form. So now that I think about it, I'm not sure which is doing the trick. It's probably some combination of both, and my lip pump. Today is my last day of "conditioning" (with the lip pump), so tomorrow I move on to the week-long intermediate phase. I'm so excited! Cool

Red, I've been using the Source Naturals Skin Eternal HA - SN is a very good brand of supplement. I'm going to try the Hydraplenish as Nature's Way is also good, and I think the powder form will be more digestable and maybe provide better results for me. Question

If the store I go to has the Bio Sil in liquid form, I'll grab a bottle of that, too. Smile

PLEASE keep me posted (PM me if you want to) on your lip pump progress (say THAT three times fast!) Laughing

I found mine and am thinking of starting up with it again. Last time I used it, I think I was too impatient and ended up with bruising above my upper lip - NOT PRETTY! Confused

And hard to cover up, especially on my fair skin. Let me know how long your results stay around with the pump. It will be interesting to see if you're getting longer plumping as you move along the program. Happy lips to you! Smile

OMGosh! I just came across my lip pumps {yes I have 2...LOL} a few weeks back.. I was thinking of starting them up again.. I do remember a few years back I got a bit to agressive and had bruises all around.. Looked like I had been hit really bad.. Even my best friend, who knows my husband very well, and knows he would never do anything like that, questioned me.. It was that bad..

Hmmm, I wonder if I still have the directions, because I can't remember the drill...

I will definitely keep you updated with my progress. Smile

If you start using your pump, keep me updated as well, if you will.

It's easy to get excited and try to rush the process. The first time I tried conditioning, I got excited and rushed it, and I got a bit of bruising on my bottom lip, on the inside, so it wasn't visible (thank goodness!) The bruise was gone by the next day, though. But oh, my lips were in such a lovely cupid's-bow shape! I hope, I hope, I HOPE they last when my conditioning is over! And, I haven't bruised at all during my second try of conditioning.

The liquid BioSil is awesome, but it tastes kind of icky! Laughing

Kiki, you can find the directions at www.cynthiarowland.com I *think* that's the correct URL. They say that you shouldn't feel pain when your lips are in the pump, and that it's important to keep them relaxed and to moisturize them beforehand. I've been doing that for my conditioning period, and have experienced no bruising at all. Good luck to you! Smile

Thanks RD.. Mine are from IGEA, I think, but I'm sure it would be the same to condition.. I had one before these, that was another brand, {it broke} and I'm sure they were the same directions..

It would be so great if, between the pump and the Hydraplenish w/MSN, we could Angelina lips.. Hey, we all have to have our dreams, don't we... Laughing

From my bit of research, the pump really works. And the cool thing is, you get to choose how big you want your lips to be. My lips are not large at all, but I have made them pretty darn comparable to Angelina's! Very Happy

I can see my lips poofing up even now, in the conditioning stage, but they don't last. Which is normal. They are supposed to last longer as you go.

I think the conditioning should be the same. I got my pump from Luscious Lips, and their directions are exactly the same as Cynthia Rowland's.

free skin care · Fri Oct 13, 2006 10:53 am

Luscious Lips was my first one.. It didn't last long at all.. Of course, it couldn't have had anything to do with the user... Wink

I've never done the whole routine, then kept it up.. I want results now! Sooooooo, I forget to keep it up... Sad but true...

I loved the look I got, right after I would use it, and hated when it went away..If you got Jolie lips and are seeing more lasting resutls, maybe.... My lips aren't thin, but who wouldn't love their lips to be fuller than we got.. Obviously a lot of us, look at this thread...LOL

Yes, I will keep you posted! And I promise to go easy during conditioning - last time I had bruising on my upper lip and even with concealor, it looked like a Hitler mustache. Sad

NOT NICE! I was horrified, but knew it was my own fault!

Yeah, I had an idea that the liquid BioSil would taste nasty - most liquid supplements do unless they are flavored with something to kill the taste. Oh well, I'm an adult and I will take my medicine like a big girl! Very Happy

*chuckle* I'm eternally glad that I stumbled upon this thread. I was trying to get fuller lips, but I've learned so much more -- about hair and skin, and such.

My lips are odd. I don't think they are small, so to speak, but my mouth is smallish. In some pictures my lips look fairly full, but at other times, they look average. When I pumped them up with the pump, though -- WOW!! Shock

I know what you mean about wanting immediate results. It took everything in me to re-start the conditioning and keep it going. But now I'm used to it, so it's not so bad. ONE WEEK TO GO, BABY!! Cool

Red and Kiki, Cynthia Rowland and Lucious Lips are the same thing - Cynthia developed Lucious Lips and her facial exercise tapes, which work very well. Both are sold on her website as well as her skincare (which I have never used). FYI!

Kiki, if you can't find directions for using the lip pump on Cynthia's website, let me know and I will get out my directions and PM them to you. Smile

The Hitler moustache comment was hilarious!!

I find that it tastes better if I mix it with some Sunny Delight, or some Pom. Putting it in water...yuck!! Confused

That was nasty!

Ohhh, I will mix it with Pom. Pom is supposed to be super good for you and its rather tangy so should pretty much hide the taste of (almost) anything! So it will be my secret concoction of good-for-me stuff! I just hope no one thinks I'm pouring bourbon into my morning juice! Laughing

I myself have drawn some quizzical glances, as I squirt the stuff into my green tea at work! I told everyone that it's my magical beauty fluid!

Ooooo, I was just thinking.. With the Hydraplenish w/MSM, a lip pump AND my Baby Q {that's sposed to encourage collagen} maybe I can have Joli lips...LOL

I'll be sure to keep a close watch to see if this does all make a good combo.. I wish I could take before and afters, but my digital camera is dead, and at the moment, no hope of replaceing it...

***If anyone would care to donate one, for the cause, let me know... Laughing

I'm going to start trying MSM too! I wish my Whole Foods store here in Marietta carried Source Naturals or Hydraplenish. Maybe they were just sold out the day that I was there, because they had Source Naturals everything else. Confused

I took pictures of my lips when I pumped them up that day. I think later I'll post them!

Yes, I know they are the same... Well, once I got to the site...LOL I knew her name sounded familiar..

Thank you so much for the offer to send the directions.. I appreciate that! For some reason, when I tried to view them thru the site posted, it said the file was corrupt and not able to fix {Adobe Reader}...Grrrr So I googled, and found another site that sells the product, they had them there.. I was impressed with me, I remembered them pretty well, for not using the devise for, ohhhh, since '99, I think...LOL

Fri Oct 13, 2006 7:19 pm

Hi! I've been using Hydraplenish, 4 capsules per day, for 4 days now and haven't seen any results yet. Sad

The transportation process (I'm from Europe) was so expensive (like 5 times more expensive than the single capsules) and the results aren't making up for it :/
I've also been drinking lots of water..
Suggestions? Sad

Fri Oct 13, 2006 10:03 pm

Thank you very much girls for such a great info...LOL I will buy the pills tomorrow and i already order the Pump . Can not wait to try it, i injected restiline just 2 weeks a go and i will have to reinject it soon again but i think the pump and Hyaluronic acid will make result even better. I also would like to buy Baby Q and hoping for great result . Very Happy

This is probably not the best advice, but what I did was to "jump-start" the process by taking many more than the recommended dosage. I didn't experience any negative effects from it. Also, it took me about a month or so to see results, so just be patient. Smile

I am about to go and start on the intermediate stage of my lip pump -- three pulls at five seconds each. I will let you all know how it went!

free skin care · Sat Oct 14, 2006 10:46 am

Zupidupi, I've been using it for a few months, and I still haven't seen lip plumping results either. I will continue to take it, though because my joints really feel better. I think that I will eventually see the lip results. It's just that it's needed elsewhere in my body.

free skin care · Mon Oct 16, 2006 6:01 am

I must be on the right track!! Very Happy

Today I did 3 "pulls" at 5 seconds on my lip pump, and my lips poofed up right away, and actually stayed that way through my shower, which has never happened before! I guess this thing works after all. Tomorrow I start on doing 3 pulls at 10 seconds each, through Friday. Then, Saturday I can start plumping them up as much as I like! Yay!!

free skin care · Tue Oct 17, 2006 5:31 am

Lip pump update!

Yesterday I did 3 pulls at 10 seconds, and the same today. Well, my lips are still plumped, thirty minutes later!

Last night, I noticed that my lips seemed much more well-defined than usual, and that my bottom lip seemed wider. I *think* the MSM that I started taking last weekend has jumpstarted this. That, and the pump!

The only not-cool thing is, my pump seems to be losing its suction Confused

I've tried to order an extra one fromwww.igia.com, but they have never sent it to me, or debited my card, for that matter. I'm going to try to find one on eBay.

free skin care · Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:35 am

Woo-hoo...still doing 3 pulls at 10 seconds each. This morning, my lips plumped up even more than yesterday, and lasted for more than half an hour, which before today has been a thing unheard-of! Still no bruising.

MermaidGirl, I would definitely recommend you break that bad-boy back out and go through the conditioning! You'll be glad you did! Very Happy

free skin care · Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:50 am

Lip pump? Is this a device or something you just do manually with your hands?

Edit: nevermind found that contraption you're speaking of on the Igia site. Do you know how long it lasts?

free skin care · Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:56 am

Today is my 5th day of conditioning... I'm very proud of me, for taking the time to do it right....this time... Laughing

I just did my 5th treatment, and I actually see a bit more plump, than just what I've had with the HA w/MSM.. I don't expect it to last much past a minute or two, and until I'm done with conditioning and onto longer pulss, but this is sure giving me encouragement!

RD, I am so happy you brought this up, and even more happy I actually had it! Wink
