Lips Enhancer Plumper Device

This will be a LONG review: I have long considered a lip plumping device. As you can see in my pictures my lips are very thin, and it has been a major insecurity of mine (before plump lips were all the rage). I also have a significant overbite which adds to my sunken mouth appearance. So, for about 1 year I've had this (and other plumpers) in my cart. I decided to finally just try one. I am BEYOND thrilled! I wish I had ordered this sooner! I have attached bare face pictures. I am just a boring, 38 year old, overweight mom. I state this because I assure you I rarely pamper myself, but my small lips have always added to my self esteem issues. I'm not trying to add complicated products or routines for my life either. In my pictures I did not add anything. My lips changed color from the suction, but it look liked I had put on makeup by just plumping my lips! You can almost see the change in my whole face (well I can). Maybe just a small self esteem boost makes the whole face look different? I mention my age as well, because looking nice isn't just for the young singles out there. Us older ladies want some luvin' too. Things to consider: I know this is temporary, in fact about 40 minutes later I see the effects reducing to half the original plump. BUT, I've done research and I am hopeful. I have read many reviews and seen videos where daily users achieve a "semi-permanent" results. Meaning only once daily maintenance is required for all day results. This product: It was awkward to try as my lips are very, very tiny and kept slipping out. I exfoliated and used lotion beforehand, per the directions. The mouth piece is flexible, but too big for my mouth right now. I love that instead of sucking the air out, as other brands seem to require, I squeezed the dish together before putting it to my lips. Then I let go after putting it to my lips. This was honestly too strong for me so I half squeezed the fish. I really like the control you have on the suction, and quickly with the fish design. I chose to do light suctioning and shorter times because I felt too strong of a pull. I did not bruise but came close. I am positive had I doubled the time, it would have. So there is nothing wrong with starting lightly. As I stted before, I'm not trying to add complicated routines. If this was difficult or time consuming, I would not have even written a review. I am pleased with my initial testing. * I plan to attempt this 3 times a day and gradually increasing the amount of time. I will update the review 3 months from now to see if overall "semi" permanent results are being acheived. Good luck everyone!
