I Got My Lips Done Before A Full Day Of Work & Here's What Happened

I’ve got a quick meeting with a liquor brand. While I’m slightly wary of letting any booze pass my lips per Lauren’s warning, I figure a little taste can’t hurt. Plus, alcohol is a disinfectant! God forbid any bad bacteria found its way into my tiny invisible needle holes. Can’t be sure; best to be safe and swish it all around my whole mouth.

6:30 pm

After spending the remainder of the day getting work done and admiring my lips/inspecting for bruises/massaging, I pack my things and head to a four-hour highball-themed bougie bar crawl with my favorite Japanese whisky brand (hi, Suntory!) - I am surrounded by booze. I have pretty good self control, so I allow myself to taste all of them. Sorry, Lauren! STILL NO BRUISING. Either I’m superhuman or the vein light is a lifesaver. Probably both.

Moral of the story: if you’re going to get your lips done and don’t want to look like a crazy-swollen bruise fest, make sure you go somewhere legit that has the means to avoid veins. Apparently it’s a very expensive contraption and is not available at every clinic; Park Avenue Skin Solutions obviously has one so go there and tell them I sent you. Happy pouting!
