I feel like they have a solid face game with their Fit Me and their Instant Age Rewind Foundation & Concealers. Their mascaras are great! Falsies and Illegal Lengths are both so good. They have amazing eyeshadow palettes and espeicially their Color Tattoo eyeshadows. (Bad to the Bronze = ALL TIME FAVORITE.) Their ColorShow nail polish is reasonably priced and actually really good! I have found that their Color Whispers and Vivids have done a great job as far as their lipsticks have gone, but all they were…

I can totally do that look, no problem!” So this is my “Pinspired” Plus Size Outfit of the Day. You can check out my Pinterest to see the original pin. The Pretty Plus is also a board on there, so you should follow that while you’re there! (I really love this picture, by…

    Amber Riley – Plus Size Inspo

    I had this idea in my head to do some plus size celebrity outfits of the day. So when I posted a poll to get some feedback about what you like and want to see more of from The Pretty Plus, I included Celeb Inspired Outfits to that list. As I had imagined, it was one of the highest chosen options. This week, I am bringing an Amber Riley inspired outfit. Most people know her from Glee and if they follow any form of celebrity fashion news, you will know that Amber is continually awarded for being one of the best dressed. She is curvy and fabulous. If I could…
