RiRi Woo

The wait is over!!!!!!!! Yesterday evening my husband walked in the room and handed me my favorite little black box! I couldn't wait to open it and see what it was going to look like....

Here's my review, I think that the colors are fairly close. In comparison to Ruby Woo, the RiRi Woo seems to be a teensy bit redder. The Retro Matte finish seems as dry as the Matte of Ruby Woo. 

I was a little let down in the packaging tho because it looks nothing like the pic of products that Rihanna posted on Instagram a few months back and I thought that the RiRi Woo was going to be that deep Merlot wine colored lipstick that was pictured....but I'm guessing that maybe those things will be released later on or something.

All in all, I love the color because it does remind me so much of Ruby Woo, BUT I would say if you have Ruby Woo and missed out on RiRi Woo don't beat yourself up...and if you DON'T have Ruby Woo in your collection and missed out on RiRi Woo this time I would definitely suggest you picking it up when it comes out again this June!!

Pics of both below....

Love and kisses,

Suck it up!!!!!

Ladies!!!!! Well yesterdays post was about great "Thick Girl" websites....well this is the follow up. I said on the previous post that if you learn your fabrics you can learn how to eye clothing that may not be your "typical" size, but you can learn to work it like its was made just for you! Typically if its stretchy material you can pull it off and make an outfit out of a Large garment but your normally an Ex-Large. But I gotta be honest...Honey you MUST know that you have to SUCK IT UP! I know, I know, your probably saying what do you mean by that?? Ladies, that means you need to learn to make GOOD shapewear one of your wardrobe must haves! You can squeeze you butt in that Large shirt, skirt, dress of what have you and look like a busted can of biscuits you if want too!!! NO!!! Shapewear maybe a little uncomfortable, I must admit, but one of my motto's is: "Looking Fierce ain't always Fun!" You have to suck up the pain of that tight ass girdle and ignore those burning/blistered feet in those bad shoes your rocking to pull off a great outfit sometimes! Good shapewear smooths out those lumps and bumps and gives your outfit a more polished look. And please don't get it twisted, Skinny girls need to wear it too. I'm just saying...We all use use that smooth, sexy curve appeal.

Below are a couple of pics of some shapewear that all of the ladies can use to create sexy shilhouette that we all what to have:

Spanx Power Pants-Black

Waist Cincher

Ava Lovers Booster Basque

Firm Control Slip

These are just a few pics of thing that does the trick! They can be a bit pricey for the good ones, but they usually last long when you take care of them...And before I forget getting fitted for a good fitting bra takes you a loooong way (I know because I am top heavy!) So to all my gals out there "Suck It Up!" and MAKE IT WORK in my Tim Gunn voice! =)
