[Closed] - GIVEAWAY - Shapewear from Lipo in a Box (Review)

Connie Elder's Lipo in a Box line is amazing. Elder had been developing products for women for about 10 years now. She has also released Go2 Bras and Underology Skin Care line. I was very curious about her shapewear line, as I had seen their happy customer's testimonials on their site about the products.

Thanks to Cassy, over at Lipo in a Box, I recently have had the pleasure of reviewing the bodysuit with underwire (in black) from the shapewear line. The shapewear is honestly very well made. In these past 2 weeks, I've worn it abut 6 times; 3 of which were on extremely hot days. The thing I love most is that it is very airy; it is made with a stretchy and thick material. Although it is thick, it sucks you in very well and doesn't constrict breathing. Other shapewears I've tried don't work nearly as well and make you feel hot, as the material is too thick and constrict movement. While wearing it, it just makes everything I wear look better. I like that it make everything look so smooth without giving away the fact that you are wearing it. I wore it out on a regular shopping trip and I felt great, things were tight where it should.

Aside from the shapewear, I also received some products from the Underology skincare line. The Underology Gentle Daily Foam Cleanser and Hyaluronic Hydrating g Serum have been used for exactly 2 week straight. I wanted to see what difference these products would make so I changed my routine to include these both. The daily cleanser works well, compared to my regular products. It leaves my face feeling fresh, not dry and cracking. The only difference is that the Underology cleanser is foam and is very light. Right after washing my face I would apply the Hyaluronic hydrating serum. According to the directions, you are to apply a thin layer and let dry. I would apply it only overnight. Doing this helps tremendously, my face in the morning is the best. Soft, not oily, not dry, just perfect. I love serums, and this one has very well earned its place in my regular routine. I am amazed that there are only 4 ingredients listed on the bottle. Regular serums and ever cleansers have a ton of fillers, but these seem to be much more concentrated.

Overall, I'm very impressed with the amazing quality of the shapewear and great results from the Hyaluronic Moisturizing Serum. There is a good reason why Connie Elder's products have been featured in many magazines, including "O", and other media outlets. The customer testimonials also add to that. This is a company that cares about women. I received my package and noticed the personalization, and little details that let you know they care about their customers. They have been generous and will award 1 lucky winner of mine a product from their store and a Discount Code: "Bloggerz" for 20% off any skin care; for anyone to use.
