I was born with a connective tissue disorder called Ehler's Danlos Hyper-mobility Type. The protein that makes my collagen is defective, so connective tissue stretches and tears easily. Because of this, the joints in my body are very lax, causing dislocations and ligament/tendon tears.
This year, something happened to me that I didn't even know was possible. My C1 and C2 vertebrae began dislocating. Each time I dislocated, I was running a 54% risk of neurological damage and 15% risk of death. I dislocated a total of 14 times before my spinal fusion surgery.
I spent a month and a half total in a neck brace. I was fatigued, in pain, and overall feeling gross. It was such a stressful and enduring time. That's when I got into Lipsense. To make surgeries and painful medical procedures a little more bearable, I would get myself a "boo boo" present for each surgery. For my spinal fusion, Lipsense was my "boo boo" present.

Lipsense didn't take away my pain, but it made me feel pretty when I felt disgusting. It made me happier when I felt tired and sad. I would sit on the couch and try out different color combinations to keep myself busy. I truly loved the product!
Fast forward to today, and I am healing so much better! I love wearing Lipsense to this day, and it still makes me feel confident and beautiful. I enjoy the product so much that I decided to become a distributor and save a little money on the long list of products I want to buy.

I love this product, it is so great. They have such a large variety of color and it stays in place. No more lipstick mark on my glasses. I also love how you can wear it the same shade in matte or gloss and give it a completely different look.
ReplyDeleteMe too!! Roseberry and Opal Gloss are one of my favorite combinations. It looks so different than it does with the Glossy Gloss!
Deletethey have so many shades of lipstick! Yes! And the best part of it is that they are a cruelty free brand! <3
ReplyDeleteYess!! And natural ingredients! I love St. John's Wort, so this was a total plus for me.

ReplyDeleteI haven't tried LipSense yet but it sounds fun! I'm so sorry for the struggles you went through. I'm glad you were able to find the care and remedies you needed. Everyone needs a boost now and then.
ReplyDeleteI am more of a gloss girl than a lipstick girl, but I hate it when they are sticky. And I love shine, but not with glitter. Going to check out a couple of the options I see here. Thanks for sharing your story!
ReplyDeleteGlossy gloss definitely sounds like the gloss for you! All shine, no glitter. I also think the color RoseBerry or Goddess would look AMAZING on you!
DeleteYour story is so powerful...the glosses look good plus the berry shade is such a beautiful color for winters!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about all that you are going through and you look so pretty with these lipsticks color. Keep the good work!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that Lipsense helped you to feel better. I'm sure that it just also gave you something else to focus on in this time.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear how Lipsense helped you overcome your feeling sad. Isn' t great when something as simple as lipgloss can help us in a big way.
