Barely There No Slip Fit Bras Review

It's really embarrassing to have bra straps sneaking out of your sleeves. It's an art to tuck them back in without drawing unwanted attention. It can be very frustrating when your hands are fully occupied and you have to pretend that the problem never exists. Barely There Bras, created by Hanes brands, now offer a smart solution to this most discussed bra problem with their latest innovation--No Slip Fit bras.

The No Slip Fit line is designed for all-day comfort with a unique Lycra® lining on the back band and straps that have a delicate silicone design to help them stay in place, eliminating unexpected slips or slides. In addition, the bras have invisible seams that eliminate the dig-in effect of uncomfortable elastics. They are made with a soft, silky, beautiful outer fabric and ultra-light foam cups for added softness against the skin and are tag-free for added comfort. The No Slip Fit bras are available in both underwire and wirefree styles and are offered in white, black, soft taupe as well as an array of colors and prints.

Hanes kindly sent me two No Slip Fit bras to try out, one underwire in soft taupe and the other wirefree in white. Both bras provide a perfect, comfortable fit. The uniquely designed straps cling to my shoulders tightly and never go out of place! That's amazing! The bras are lightweight too, making me feel that they are "Barely There". My new bras are also embellished with some cute shiny accents in the front. I truly appreciate the comfort and confidence that the worry-free No Slip Fit bras have provided.

Barely There No Slip Fit bras retail for $32 and can be found in leading department stores like Kohl's, JC Penny, and Macy's. I strongly recommend them to any woman who wants to wave farewell to ill-fitting bras.

Yandy.com Halloween Costume Review

With Halloween drawing really close, a lot of moms have already started costume shopping for their kids. But hey ladies, you deserve a costume of your own! I was recently introduced to Yandy.com, a website dedicated to providing Sexy Halloween Costumes for adult women.  It carries an amazing selection of over 2,000 standard and plus size costumes. It's also a great place to shop for lingerie and dresses.

Yandy.com generously offered me a $60 shopping spree to their online store. It took me quite a long time to decide what to choose, given their huge, dazzling collection. I was looking for something colorful, youthful, and completely different from my usual dressing style. After browsing through and comparing hundreds of costumes, I finally landed my choice on this cute one-piece Swiss Girl Costume, featuring a dress with peasant style top and sleeves, lace-up bodice, layered skirt with lace trim and bows. Made with 100% cotton, the dress is comfortable to wear and easy to take care of. The shipping was impressively fast (2 days) and cost a flat rate of $5.95.

Despite how I love the costume, I can't fit in it. I ordered according to my usual dress size, but it turned out to be smaller, especially around wait and hip. Instead of requesting an exchange, I gave the costume to my cousin, who's slimmer than me. The dress fit her beautifully. Each costume on Yandy.com has its unique size chart. It's important that you check all the numbers on the chart to get the right size. From my experience, you'd better size up a bit when you order.

I also bought a pair of Opaque Footless Tights W/ Skull & Heart Print and Sheer Pantyhose in black. They both fit me well. I love that Yandy.com recommends matching accessories for most of their costumes, such as petticoat, stockings, or shoes. This feature makes one-stop shop really easy.

Yandy.com provides quality costumes in a wide price range. Whether you're looking for something simple and affordable, or something extravagant and classy, you can find a nice fit here.This Gypsy Halloween Costume is one of my favorites costing less than $60.

And this incredibly chic Go Go Girl Costume cost only $20.95!

Treat yourself to some cute costumes from Yandy.com this Halloween. You'll enjoy the speedy delivery and sexy designs. Wish you a most stylish Halloween!
