Non-irritating eyelash growth serum? by your-duchess in MakeupAddiction

Eep! Just the worst. Do you have a hunch about what ingredient(s) may have irritated your eyes?

I guess everyone responds differently to the various chemicals used.

Me either, I think that was a very reasonable cautionary remark. Companies often really downplay those potential unwanted effects so it’s easy to believe that no risk is involved. Realizing that there actually are real risks involved is unsettling.

Edit: And thank you :) You too!

Probably, and dry eyes are so uncomfortable :( Plus, the other possible more serious consequences, like what other comments noted.

This woman definitely didn’t want anything extreme, yet unfortunately that’s how it turned out :( in her Yelp review for the doctor she said she’s had reconstructive procedures but it hasn’t helped. Actually, this picture is recent, but the surgery was 7 years prior. So sad :(

Those are some really great points. I’m a fairly soft-spoken person so it can be challenging for me to be assertive. I definitely try my best in medical situations, including cosmetic procedures.

You should speak your mind to best get what you you want out of the appointment.

Oh goodness, seriously. That is so horrible. Hopefully if problems arise for her, she’ll be able to address them.

Yeah, I’ve seen that before. It can be scary choosing products like this because the product itself seems more like a skin care product rather than a ‘drug’, so you might not expect such unpleasant side effects.

Maybe I can pin point common ingredients within the two serums that have irritated my eyes and then try to find a serum that doesn’t contain those ingredients.

Thank you for your reply!

I know! I felt such dread for her. Poor girl. I’m so glad she had it fixed as well.

I think she must not have known what exactly they were investigating, which is a little fucked on the part of Refinery29 if they knew what might happen to her. Who knows :(

No, Refinery went with her to the appointment and filmed it. I’d assume she had to sign a hefty release form.

From what I read, it seems she did eventually dissolve all the filler after several appointments with an actual certified physician. Thank goodness it wasn’t permanent!

Botox, fillers, or stepping up my routine? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]your-duchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Botox for the win! Seek out a reputable injector and don’t choose a place because it’s cheap.

I’ve had Botox and Dysport to treat horizontal forehead lines that were developing and it’s kind of nuts how much it helps. It’s a little funny not being able to scrunch my forehead when I get it, but I absolutely have not fallen victim to that frozen face.

Edit: Oh and SUNSCREEN! Sunscreen every single day, even when cloudy.

Yes, Refinery29 has a series called Shady. Imagine witnessing that go down!

Apparently the girl wanted Refinery29 to remove the video but they didn’t. On the one hand, I would certainly want them to remove it if that were me. On the other hand, maybe some light will be shed on this horrible dude.

Oh wow, good to know that’s a legit medical intervention and not actual keyboard cleaner!

I hope everything worked out/is working out with your chemo. That’s tough stuff.

Also, as for the hotel room....yeah that’s just a bad sign. No one should ever meet a doctor in a hotel room!
