I Got Kylie Jenner Lip Injections, and They Turned Me Into a MonsterI became obsessed with Kylie's pout, and fell into a black hole of lip fillers and lipsticks |

"No lipstick or hot drinks for at least 24 hours. The lipstick will dry out your lips and hot drinks will flair up any potential swelling. Also, avoid any intense makeout sessions for a couple days," she said. Good thing I'm single.
Once I arrived to the Total Beauty office, my co-workers were amazed by how natural my lips looked, saying they weren't nearly as dramatic as Jenner's, but they could see a difference. Some even went back to their desks to Google the procedure, interested in trying it themselves (that's when you know you #nailedit). I sat down at my desk, puckered up and sent my best post-injection selfies to friends and family. I waited eagerly for their response.
Overall consensus: very positive. My mother was glad to see that I still resembled her and my friends were happy I don't look like Lisa Rinna. Still, I found myself spiraling downward when everyone reiterated that my lips weren't even close to Kylie-sized. My lips were like a full B, while Kylie's are more like a DD. Sure, my bigger lips were better, but not everything I wanted them to be. Determined to achieve Jenner's lip level, I knew lipstick and lip liners were going to be some of my best bets for recreating her signature pucker (after 24 hours of course).
Go big or go to Sephora (which is basically home) -- and that's exactly what I did next.
