Curvy Kate’s Seamless J Cup Full Figure Bras

While there are more and more seamless, T-shirt bras in cup sizes up to H, finding seamless larger cup size bras is still hard. I am finding two, and one of them looks like it will be here for a while at Figleaves, (who has it at the best, (full), prices in five regular colors. They also have this special hot pink version below.

Curvy Kate’s Smoothie Balcony Bras at Figleaves

Both this special version and two of the regular versions of these bras cost $47 at Figleaves and come in, what is left of apparently, the 28 and 30D to J and 32 to 38D to H size range.

Curvy Kate will donate one British Pound to the Breast Cancer Awareness Charity for each of these Coppafeel print bras sold!

  

This is their regular version of these bras. The $47 colors at Figleaves are the Wild Black and Wild Blush, (pictured below), colors. The Raspberry color is less but in extremely limited sizes and the normal black and blush colors are $66

  

You can use this Curvy Kate Smoothie Bras link to find them at Her Room. They are discontinuing these bras, but have them in three colors in a good size selection, at $68, full price.

Both Her Room and Figleaves have matching shortie briefs to go with these bras

You can click on this bra’s picture below to find them in sizes 32 to 38D, DD, E and H, in three colors at Bare Necessities. They are on sale there for $46 to $47, currently with an extra 20% Off code available on their page there.

  

Bare Necessities has the matching bikini briefs in this Curvy Kate collection.

Bigger Bras’ Bra Cup Comparison Chart, (group 3 on their page), shows us the Curvy Kate’s bra cup sizing is on a par with Elomi, Fantasie, Faye Form, Cleo, Sculptresse and other fine intimate maker’s bra cup sizes!

Hopefully we will see more, and larger, cup sized bras with true seamless cups in the future.

I will keep looking and post what I find here.

Enjoy!

ModCloth’s Most Loved Full Figure Skirts and Tops

ModCloth has plenty of plus size dresses but this is a look at a few of the skirts and some blouses that came up when I went to the Work Clothes section of their Plus Size department and sorted by Most Loved.

Highly Rated by Full Figure Women Skirts

Some of their skirt up at the top when sorted by Most Loved have few favorable reviews from fuller figure women. So I skipped those.

This skirt comes in 7 other colors too and gets mostly great to excellent reviews from women who say they are wearing sizes L to 3X, smaller sizes too! It’s sash / belt is removable.

  

They, ModCloth, does warn us that it runs small. These skirts are unlined linen / rayon and cost $34.99. This one, in this color, is my personal favorite, just because it looks fun and I like this shade red.

This poly / rayon / spandex skirt is also getting good to excellent reviews from women who wear size 3X and smaller. A good work ready, flattering A-line style that tends to become a wardrobe staple or as one reviewer put it: ‘I wear this skirt with alarming regularity’.

  

A similar cut skirt also is available in a solid sage green color.

This unlined polyester skirt has open side pockets and comes in 5 other colors and a print.

  

Reviewers seem to love this skirt and many sized down, based on other reviews and were glad they did.

Things I am reading often enough in the reviews of all of these skirts are:

• Women feel these are high quality
• Quite pleased with them
• They wear them often! 

Me, I am hoping to get the red one at the top sometime soon, and a nice pair of tan to camel ankle booties to go with them…

Some Highly Rated Blouses and Tops

I like the unusual neckline of this poly / rayon / spandex top, which also comes in black!

  

ModCloth suggest wearing it with a slitted pencil skirt and I figure this is just for starters! It gets excellent reviews from full figure women up to size 3X too!

This sleeveless button down sheer blouse comes with this bow. According to at least one reviewer; The bow is a butterfly print ribbon and her favorite way to wear it is as a belt!

  

It gets excellent reviews from women who wear sizes up to 3X and 4X, one of which had to adjust the armholes by adding darts, and she gives it 5 stars!

Not Exactly Highly Rated, But…

If this blouse is in their Most Loved, it is way down there. They just do not have many blouses. However women who like it really like it, and some of them are wearing sizes up to 4X!

  

This has no stretch; it is a polyester zipper back blouse. I think the fitted style with the right skirt or slacks would look great on women of many shapes. As long as it fits perfect. What do you think?

One thing I love about ModCloth’s reviews are the selfies women share in them and below the descriptions of many styles.
Helps give us really good ideas about:

• How the styles that have this fit various women
• Different ways to wear these fashions! 

I like browsing ModCloth, but it is one of the few places I tend to stay Much Longer than I should…

They do have an Vast Collection of plus size Dresses!

Gotta find those booties now…!

Enjoy!

20% to 40% Off E.L.F. Eye Makeup that Beats the Heat

& Humidity 

New Jersey had some very humid days last and this week, which is normal. Also normal is me sweating oceans! During most of this I was wearing their Eyebrow Treat & Tame I posted about last week and their Essential Flawless Eye shadow pallet colors, I picked up at Target, for $2, I think last year and have been using ever since! The Curvy Fashionista also has some great tips for beating the heat here!

Currently we can enjoy their so affordable makeup and beauty products for up to 40% off using this Take 40% off on orders $35+. This offer is valid until 7/18 with coupon code BDAY40. Shop Now! code.

After that, we can use their Get 30% off on orders $30+ and 20% off on orders $20+ at EyesLipsFace.com! This offer is valid through Monday, July 21st with coupon code BDAY30 for $30+ or code BDAY20 for $20+. Shop Now! tiered discount!

The Three Beat the Humidity Eye Makeups

As I mentioned above E.L.F.’s Eyebrow Treat & Tame, in Ash, with additional color from their Studio Eyebrow Kit, (which I also got at Target late last year), for a more evening into night look. Both are just $3 each.

Plus their $2 four colors, comes in 7 different pallet choices, Essential Flawless Eye shadow below! This is the one I use, because it is good for both day and night!
 

Beats Heat & Humidity SPF 15 BB Cream

I have been using Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti-Aging in light / medium.

Considering how much I sweat, and this is largely by face, neck and Décolletage Sweating it works well and a little goes a long way!

Trying adn failing to make a direct lint to this BB cream at Garnier's own site I found this! Currently $10 at Amazon! I got mine for $12 + at CVS, so this is a pleasant discovery!

To me this, seems, a little dark in color when I put it on. However my much more appearance conscious 14 year old has said Not A Thing! So it is likely good.

I do not like the heavy feel of:

• Makeup 
• or tinted moisturizers 
•  on my face 

The fact that I have actually used this, for several days, two times a day, in the extreme mid-day heat and humidity we had says a lot to me!

Also worth considering: The worst, in recent week’s: heat & humidity in my car in the middle of the day.
Sadly, middle of the day car trips of late cannot be avoided…

I rarely use the air conditioner because one thing my old car and I have in common is:
Repairs as needed, little maintenance…
& we are both feeling it!
I do fit in oil changes for the car, and try to fit in exercise for me, which has been shabby of late.

The poor car has not had a tune up in over 5 years.
Yeah, when someone like me can afford makeup by anyone, it means something!

The upshot of this BB cream with its only SPF 15 protection is that even out in the middle of the day, I did not get so much as pink!

Pros and Cons: Shopping E.L.F. Target vs Online

Online has the better selection and discounts
Target;

• If they have what you want
• Especially if you happen to be there anyway
• Is a great place to try or pick up just one thing
• provided they have it and in your shade. 

Either way E.L.F. make up is excellent to use and light on the check book!

Enjoy!

Get 50% Off Everything at E.L.F. TODAY

E.L.F. makeup and beauty supplies are so inexpensive to begin with. They are also excellent quality beauty products. I use them daily, not just because they are usually around $3. Actually less because I have yet to purchase them without one of their discounts!

10/9/15: Updated this sale text link to general E.L.F. link. They always have great new deals! Shop e.l.f. Cosmetics now!

My Favorite & Daily E.L.F. Eye Makeup

I have felt eyebrow envy all my life. Then my hair turned grey...
Needless to say I do not like being seen without my eyebrows colored.

Now, thanks to E.L.F., I do not have to!

I love using their Eyebrow Treat & Tame below. 

The Treat part is clear, the brush just perfect for tidying up my eyebrows, when I am too lazy to scrub my face. 

Then I use the, (in my case Ash color), for day color & it is perfect all day! All for $3!

Then for evenings and night I like to add a bit more color with their e.l.f. Studio Eyebrow Kit below, also just $3!

This even works in the summer heat and humidity!

I sweat A LOT! 

Previous to E.L.F. I enjoyed Anastasia’s Brow Wiz, Great stuff, but $21.
I am a single mother,
who does not get child support, so…

I tried other, drug store variety, eyebrow pencils, and ended up slightly more broke, and varying degrees of disappointed.

So yes, I do enjoy these two E.L.F. beauty products most days of every week. For $6, (less really as there is always a discount!), to me personally, this is their best deal ever.

I also use their quick drying top coat for my nails, (approx. every other day), which is $2, and dries quick no matter how many layers of it, (& other nail polish), I apply it to the top of.

If you have not tried E.L.F. makeup and beauty products, this is an excellent opportunity to try them for even less!

Enjoy!
I do,
daily!
