Blush Accessories Review & Giveaway

All my life I have had the hardest time trying to find shirts that fit me. I'm built like my dad, long and lanky. It has it's pros and cons. I don't gain weight easily, but my torso is long! Regular shirts seem to make me look like I want to show my tummy. That is not the case. Then, I wash shirts, they shrink, and it makes it worse. I'm constantly tugging on my shirts trying to stretch them out.

Well, Blush Accessories has really come to my rescue! They sell a topless undershirt. It's like a tube top, but it's worn around the waist. Everybody loves the layered look, but the bulk of wearing two shirts and dealing with extra straps is not fun! With the topless undershirt, it takes that mess away!

It has a tapered shape and it's made of spandex to keep it from slipping. I ordered a medium because that's what I wear in shirts. Turns out that I needed a small. It didn't fit snug around my waist. At least now I know because I WILL be buying some more!

I loved that I could wear a shirt and not have to keep trying to pull it down! I could lift my arms in the air and not give everyone a show! Freedom! :) This shirt is a lifesaver. The fabric is very soft and stretchy, making it very comfortable! I received the brown one, so I will be going back and ordering the black one and the white one!

As I mentioned, they come in black, white, and brown. Sizes are small, medium, and large. Price is $15.99

Wholesale Costume Club Review & Giveaway

Picking out costumes for Halloween is so much fun! My little one was so excited to get to pick his costume this year! Although, he had a hard time picking one from Wholesale Costume Club because there are so many to choose from!

We looked at so many. He also changed his mind a few times! Decision making for a 4 year old is sometimes challenging! He finally decided on the Bakugan Battle Brawlers Dragoniod Costume! Bakugan's are the big thing around here for all the little boys! He was excited to get it in the mail and see the wings on it!

Once the order was placed, it took no time at all for it to get here! Fast shipping is a big plus for me! We tore open the package and he wanted to try it on right away! I didn't have a problem with that because I wanted to see how it fit.

To my surprise, it fit him nicely. A little long in the arms and legs, but that is much better than being too short! I was happy with it! The costume features a red and gold jumpsuit with three dimensional foam shoulder armor and detachable wings. It's also topped off with an extremely detailed plastic character mask. This costume is all new for the 2010 Halloween season!

Wholesale Costume Club has a huge variety of boys costumes! That's why it was so hard for him to pick one. Don't have a boy? Don't worry, there are lots of kids costumes to choose from. It will keep you busy for hours! They also have $3.99 flat rate shipping! Hurry and go get started!

Costumes4less Review & Giveaway

I loved Halloween as a child! Dressing up and running around the neighborhood getting candy from people. I still love Halloween as an adult because my kids are now getting to go trick-or-treating! They are now old enough to pick out what costumes they want. It's so much fun watching them try to pick just one.

My oldest had a really hard time picking at Costumes4less.com! They have sooo much to choose from. After looking through them for about a half an hour, he finally decided on a Ninja Fighter! He was super excited for it to get here!

I placed my order and we waited. A few days later, it was here! FAST shipping! I love that! We opened it and he could not wait to put it on! I told him he could only put it on for a minute, then it had to go back in the bag until Halloween.

The costume is really neat! It comes with a black hooded tunic, pants, faux leather tunic, faux leather shin guards, ties, and mask! It's made better than a lot of costumes I've seen. It looks pretty realistic! As soon as he got it on, he got into character! Running around and ninja chopping everything!

The costume also fit him really well. I am always worried about how things are going to fit him. He's tall, but skinny. But, it fit nicely on his waist and was plenty long enough. That makes me very happy!

Costumes4less also has adult costumes, TONS of children costumes, super cute pet costumes, spooky decorations, and so much more! They even have a low price guarantee! If you can find a costume at a lower price, they will pay you 110% of the difference! Now that's the kind of service I like!
