Red Devil,
I have another question. In the middle picture you said that is after using the HA for months. How often do you use your pump? And which HA are you using again? I know you have answered these questions before on posts. Sorry you will be repeating yourself when you answer.
Thank you.
I think I will take pictures too before I get my pump. |

Good idea on the pictures! Before-and-afters are always fun.
Let's see...I pretty much took it easy on the pump for the first 14 days, as the instructions said -- only ten seconds a day, total. Then I started using my pump about two or three times a day for about thirty seconds each time (I have to use really short "pulls" because I don't get the greatest suction from the mouthpiece). I still use the pump two or three, sometimes four times a day. Some users have trouble with bruising if they use it that often, but I have never bruised.
As for the HA, I have tried many different kinds -- Skin Eternal, Hydraplenish, Purity Products Maximum Formula. But now I just use plain, cheap Rexall. It seems to work just as well as the expensive, collagen-containing brands. I also take MSM every day, and I'm sure that helps also.
I should probably mention that the middle picture was after about six months of HA, and before I started using the pump.
If you have any other questions, just ask. I'm happy to help! |

OK, totally random -- it just occurred to me that you dear, sweet ladies are the only ones who give me positive feedback on my lips. My friends, my mom, and my husband don't really like me with bigger lips. (I guess you guys are the only ones who have any TASTE, LOL! ) Any of you who have increased your lip size -- have you experienced the people you know NOT liking your bigger lips?
I guess they're just not used to it yet, and that's why they are uncomfortable...hrmmm. |

Red Devil,
Hmmm maybe they just love the way you are and don't want any changes. You do have beautiful lips naturally. My 13 year old daughter said they were pretty to begin with also.
I cannot believe the HA did that without the pump. WOW. I stopped taking source naturals because money was tight. But it did work.
I just bought the hyperplenish or whatever it's called on sale and it is not working like the source naturals.
I also tried the rexall but that didn't seem to work like the source naturals. I guess I need to go back to SN and keep it up. Along with the pump. |

Awww...thanks for your compliments! That makes me feel good.
I just might go back on the Source Naturals with collagen and see what happens, since it's been so long since I've used HA with collagen.
Have you ordered your pump already? |

No, I have ordered it yet. Do you know the cheapest place to buy it or should I just get it off of their website?
What do you think? |

I paid about $10 bidding on Ebay for this lip pump. On the product itself it says "Facial Sculpting Lip Enhancer" made in Oklahoma City, OK. The phone # on the product is 1-405-943-8661
As far as I can tell, it's just as good as the Igia, etc. I'm building up to longer pulls.... |
Laura,
I saw this a few pages back. I think it's the same as the Luscious Lips pump, and much cheaper. I wish I had known about this before I paid $50 for the Luscious Lips, lol! |

Hey Red Devil, do you buy the creme that comes with the pump? It is really costly. I just went ahead and ordered the pump. $62.29. My husband is going to kill me when he gets back from Arkansas. Ugg. Right now he is 2000 miles away from me so I am good to go for another week. Ha ha. |

LOL! I'm sure he'll be cool with it when he sees your nicely-plump lips!
I didn't order the cream because creams usually have no effect on my lips. (The Victoria's Secret plumper seems to be the exception.) I had read, also, that many people didn't seem to like the cream. I think I read that atwww.lipaugmentation.com. |

I hope everything is going well there!
Wow...I can see, in recent pictures, how my lips have grown A LOT since I started pumping!
I came home to my mother's house yesterday, and she had gotten pictures developed from my cousin's wedding a few weeks ago. On the day of the pictures, I had only pumped my lips once because I didn't want to freak my mom out ("Oh my God, what is wrong with your lips???" etc.).
Anyway, my lips looked very full in each picture, even in the pictures where I was smiling, even in different lighting! I am sooo pleased!!
In bad news, I have just run out of my Victoria's Secret plumper. Methinks I shall buy some more today while I'm out and about doing my Mother's Day shopping! |

I am still waiting for my lip pump to arrive in the mail. No luck yet.
My husband isn't too upset. He just makes comments like - "At least I didn't spend $60.00 on a lip plumper" Ha ha. He asked what else we can plump with it. He better quit that or I will spend money on a boob job. Ha ha.
Red Devil, do you think the Victoria Secret plumper is really making a difference? Or do you think it is mainly the lip pump? (HA capsules too) |

I do think that the Victoria's Secret stuff was giving me a quick fix. I noticed my lips plumping up a bit and getting very red when I used the V.S. without using the pump first. (It doesn't give anywhere near the result I get with the pump, but if I'm out somewhere and don't have my pump handy, then it gives me a little extra oompf.) It seems that, if I DO use the pump first and then use the V.S., my "pump plump" lasts longer than it usually does. I definitely plan to buy more, now that I'm out!
I'm glad your husband is not too upset. And I hope your pump arrives quickly! I remember that mine took about three weeks to arrive. |

My camera is waiting to take before and after pictures too!! |

Yay pictures!
It's a funny thing -- the package containing your lip pump has to go through customs and all that, and I think that's partly why it takes a few weeks. It amused me greatly that the Luscious Lips people assured me that the package would be "discreet", yet the customs people wrote "Cosmetic Pump Device For Lips" on the outside!
My lips have been very poofy these past few days, much to my joy. |

Hi Red devil and everyone who is following up on this lip adventure....
I just got my lip plump in the mail. Yippee. So first things first. I have to take before pictures. Then I will take after as I go. I am not taking any HA capsules or anything so we will see how it goes.
Have a good day!!! |

Hi!!
yesterday I used my lip pump. I did five- 2 second pulls. Today I did the same. After I pull the pump I can feel tingles in my lips. Is that normal? I don't see any difference yet. When will I notice a difference? |

Hi Laura! Glad your pump arrived!
That sounds normal -- the tingling you feel. And, you are not supposed to see results during the two-week conditioning. (I've read that a few people saw results right away, but most people, including me, did not.) When you start with the longer pulls -- probably the 10-second pulls -- then you will see your lips plump up immediately. If you're lucky, they'll stay that way for a length of time.
Did you say that you ordered the cream along with the pump? If so, do you like the cream?
I have tried three new lip plumpers this week -- Blow Lip Plumper by Urban Decay, Fat Kiss by Lip Injection, and LipTox. None of them really do much for me. However, I have recently started using the little tube of sheer pink Lip Injection that I got a while back, and it seems to work a bit. I think that pumping my lips is making them more sensitive, so that some plumpers work on me, whereas before, they did nothing. |

Hi Red devil,
No I did not buy the cream with the pump. I read on the lusious lips forum that some people just use vaseline. And drink a lot of water. (We know water is good for plump lips anyway)
I have two questions: After you pull the pump out while your lips are air tight and hold for seconds...do you leave your lips in the pump air tight while bringing the pump back?
And other question...after I am finished with one pull then do I wait throughout the day for the next? Or do I pull two seconds five times one after another? |

So far lip plumpers really don't do much for me. I think they are so shiney that it makes my lips look plumper. It seems the Sally Hansen line works okay for me. And the Wexler brand at Bath and Body works. It is all just so expensive.
Id rather try this pump and then start using HA capsules again after my little experiment with the pump.
I just can't stand how misleading those lip gloss ads are. They always advertise with HUGE lips. Grrrr |

You're right about that -- talk about FALSE ADVERTISING!! |
