READERS EMAIL: KATIE'S PERMANENT EYELINER REVIEW!

Meet Katie!

Katie took advantage of the Permanent Eyeliner offer that I did and was nice 

enough to share her picture & take on the process.

I love sharing experiences like this, it is fun to get another opinion on the process since

everyone heals differently!

If you also took advantage of this offer & would like to share your experience

Please email me: thecouponhacker@gmail.com

Here is Katie's take on the process (in her words):

  I chose the black/brown color since my coloring is really fair.  I thought the whole process was virtually painless and took a little over 2 hours.   My eyes barely felt sensitive after an hour or so after leaving the salon.  This morning I woke up with a little bit of crustiness in the inner corners of my eyes, but nothing major. I'm pretty red and a little bruised under my bottom lashes, but my top lashes don't feel a thing. It even looks like I have more color on the bottoms than the top, but I'm sure that will change.  I did feel really tired yesterday, which Tina told me was normal.  I'm glad she told me that, otherwise I would have wondered why I felt so run-down.  I think the hardest part of all this will be NOT rubbing my eyes when they get itchy.  How itchy did your eyes get?  Did she tell you how much going back for a touch up would cost?  Do you know if that takes the same amount of time?  I would do it again in a heartbeat.  I'm looking forward to seeing how it's going to heal. 

-Katie

To answer Katie's question:

• How itchy did my eyes get?
• My eyes were pretty itchy through the scabbing part.  After the scabbing went away the itchiness got better, though I have noticed that they are still healing and do get itchy.  Mostly in the mornings!
• How much does the touch up cost?
• For those of us that take advantage of this special offer touch ups are only $75 (normally $200)

Read my take on the actual process & my take on the healing process!

PERMANENT EYELINER REVIEW UPDATE + EXCLUSIVE OFFER FOR YOU!!

Finally ladies I am healed!

I went from this on day 1:

To this on day 9:

Here is a creepy close up so you can really see it: 

As you can tell the eyeliner has really relaxed from when I 

first had it done.

At first my eyes were very swollen, red and the eyeliner pigment was very intense!

Now, on day 9 the swelling is gone, the pigment has relaxed and you can really get an idea of what the permanent eyeliner will look like.

Here is my review of the healing process.  

Read my review of getting permanent eyeliner.

How was the healing process?
     I had the permanent eyeliner done on Thursday and by day 4 (Sunday) the swelling had finally gone away.

     Morning I would wake up with goopy eyes and used a warm cloth to gently clean them so I could see.  I found that by cleaning my eyes at night seemed to help lessen the amount of goop I had in the morning.

     By day 4 the eyeliner had scabbed over and itched LIKE CRAZY!!  It is extremely hard to not scratch; but you must fight the urge!!  You don't want to pick the scab because it will pull the ink right out.  I personally just used a wet cloth or q-tip and gently pressed on the itchy area to help.

     Here I am now at day 9, the scabbing is all gone though my eyelids are still a bit tender.  

 
Do I love it?
     Absolutely!  Now that the scab is gone I can get a good look at what it will look like FOREVER!!  

     Tina (the artist that did my eyeliner) said you will for sure need at least one touch up 30 days from when you get the permanent eyeliner.  I can tell you she is right!  There are spots that are thicker than others, there are dark and light spots and some areas didn't take color at all.  It will be interesting to see how much more the pigment changes over the next few weeks while it continues to heal.  

     Tina says at the touch up appointment is when you can decide to go darker, thicker or if you like how it looks she will just go over the existing line to brighten the color.  

    

 I already made my appointment for September to get a touch up.  

I will keep you all posted as to how that goes & of course any changes that I may decide to do.

PERMANENT EYELINER REVIEW + SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE OFFER FOR YOU!!

I can't believe I am sharing this picture of me!

Here ya go, me in all my swollen, no make up wearing glory!

As most of you know I had permanent eyeliner done yesterday (Thursday);

this picture was taken when I got home after it was complete.

A bit puffy and red, my upper eyelids are just a tiny bruised (I bruise so easily I expected worse!)

I will share with you what I look like on Monday, that will be 4 days after the process

and should be looking great!

My review of the proccess:

Where did I get it done?
     Tina Slippy of Idaho Skin Care at Visual Effects Salon & Spa.  Tina has been performing permanent makeup for over 20 years!  She is patient, great at explaining the entire process and what to expect after.  You get to pick how thick and what color you want your eyeliner.  I picked brown/black color with a medium thickness.  

Did it hurt?
     Having the permanent eyeliner done did not hurt.  Tina numbs the area around your eye where she is applying the pigment.  Of course there is a bit of discomfort (someone is so close to your eye with a needle!!) but overall you can just feel the vibration of the tool.
     When the process is done you look like you have been crying for days!  Your eyes are swollen, sore, tired & a bit dilated.  As the numbing cream starts to wear off, your eyes do sting for a bit and clearly the area around your eye is very tender.

What you need to know:
     If you have allergies I would recommend taking a decongestant before you go.  The process made me very congested (that honestly was the worst part!)  

     Make sure you have sunglasses with you!  Your eyes will be a bit dilated so you will need to shade them to protect!! 

     The whole process takes about 2 hours.  The first 20 minutes is eye prep/numbing.

     You can't wear makeup for the first 3-4 days.  If your job requires you to be in the public eye, I would recommend scheduling your appointment for a Thursday or Friday so you have the weekend to recover.  We don't want to scare people with our puffy swollen eyes!

     You will need to get at least one touch up.  It takes your eyeliner at least 30 days to fully heal, after the first month you will need to get a touch up; The pigment is not as deep as a normal tattoo and since the bodies natural process is to get rid of foreign objects it is easier for this pigment to fade away quicker.  This is a perfect time to thicken the line or darken the color if you want.  After this touch up your eyeliner can last a few  years before you need another touch up....it just depends on your skin...everyone's body reacts differently!
