Smart & Sexy Review and Giveaway

UPDATE:  If you DO NOT have a twitter acct (can not follow Smart & Sexy on twitter), please leave a comment for your mandatory entry stating that fact, and also follow my blog, and tell me if you already do follow or a new follower.

Lately I have been having trouble finding a bra to fit right.  It had been ages since I did a bra fitting (or measuring myself for a bra).  I knew the bras that I currently had (have been buying and wearing the same size for nearly 15 years, and of course my shape has changed .... *hint* *hint*  I've gained some weight), no longer were comfortable to wear.  I happened up the Smart & Sexy website, where they had instructions for measuring for your bra size.  I'm not sure if it shocked me or amazed me that I needed a different size than what I currently had been wearing.

I went shopping for a new bra, and tried on tons of them.  Brands that I had heard of before and brands that I had never heard of.  Padded, un-lined, under-wire, and push-up.  Nothing seemed to fit right.  I tried on sizes that were larger and smaller than what my measurements said I should wear, as well as the correct size.  Still nothing was fitting.

Right about that same time, I was asked to review the Smart & Sexy line.  I had never heard of them prior to seeing them on on-line (I wasn't about to purchase a lingerie on-line) on other blog giveaways.  I jumped at the chance, I figured what the heck, nothing else was fitting, what did I have to lose.

To my amazement, I now have two beautiful, sexy and well fitting bras.  The bras are super comfy to wear and in an awesome shade of royal purple too!  Smart & Sexy also sent be a beautiful microfiber chemise in a great shade of pink, like this one, but pink:

Now, when I wear my new lingerie, I am comfortable and sexy at the same time.  And boy does that help to boost my self confidence.  If you haven't checked out the Smart & Sexy website, you really should.  Great prices, sexy lingerie, what more could a woman ask for.

Smart & Sexy also has a Smart & Sexy Social Club, where you can sign up to receive their e-mail and fill out a survey and be entered to win a $100 gift certificate.  Smart & Sexy are also on facebook and twitter too.  Visit them there to find out what new is happening on their site, and for specials they may be having.

Smart & sexy has their own line of swimwear now, as well as all of the beautiful lingerie and sleepwear.  I can tell you this much, I will be shopping at Smart & Sexy from now on.  I can find bras in my size (I'm not huge, but not tiny either) that are quality made, sexy and comfy, along with panties in several styles, and sexy sleepwear too at very affordable (and for me to say affordable, you know they have to be great prices) prices!

Smart & Sexy has been kind enough to offer my readers a giveaway too!

I Love my isABelt !!! - review & giveaway

CLOSED - Winners will be drawn soon

7/26/2010

Oh My Gosh!  The isABelt has to be one of the best inventions ever!!!!  Where has it been all my life???  Since I received my isABelt for review, I have not worn any of my other belts, nor have I had to tug on my britches each time I stood up, bent over, or got out of the car.

Even pants (shorts, or capris) that once were a teeny tiny bit big in the waist, are now comfortable to wear.  I no longer have added bulk under my form fitted tops that other belts cause, nor do a have a belt buckle showing or pooching out, when I want a cleaner, leaner looking silhouette.

I love my isABelt so much, that I would be lost without it.  And you can experience the same thing, if you enter for your chance to win, below.

The isABelt comes in several varieties.  They have the regular, which is a thinner isABelt, and they also carry the wide that comes in both clear and black and is unisex.  Even men can have a problem with a gaping waist band.  The isABelt Jr is has some fun designs, such as skulls, cupcakes, peace signs and others.  Then they also have the Breast Cancer Awareness isABelt, which is clear, yet with a pink ribbon design.  The isABelt BCA even looks great as a decorative accessory.

Each isABelt comes packaged in its own box with directions for adjusting the isABelt for a proper fit.  Even though it looks like it would adjust, the way one would adjust the straps of a bra, it doesn't.  So please make sure you read the instructions.  It is super easy to adjust, so don't be afraid.  But by reading the instructions, it will make adjusting your isABelt a very easy task.  They also have a video on their website, which also shows you how to adjust your isABelt.

The isABelt is a fabulous product that can be purchased for less than $20, that no one should be without, in my opinion.  With the isABelt you will no longer have a gaping waist band.  And if the waist band of your  pants are tad bit too big, the isABelt makes them fit to a "T".  You can purchase the isABelt on their website as well as at many brick and mortar locations.  They have a 'store locater' right there on their site.
