I’m plus-size and I put Skims to the test after all the hype – it totally blew my mind and my boobs felt so lifted
A PLUS-SIZE woman has revealed that she put Skims to the test after all the hype and was left open-mouthed at the shapewear items.
Fashion fan Lexi, from California, ordered a bralette, bodysuit and co-ord from Kim Kardashian’s clothing line and explained that the stunning clothes blew her mind.
Not only did the clothes “smooth” her “chubby parts” and “lift” her boobs, but she noted that her stomach felt “pulled in” too.
Taking to TikTok to show off her Skims purchases, posting under the username @lexxlatt, Lex said: “I am gonna try Skims.”
As she showed off her Skims parcel, she asked: “Kimberly, what is this packaging? What kind of basic, AF packaging is this?
“I recently went on a shopping spree because apparently I think I’m a freaking baller.
“It’s fine. I’m not gonna spend any more money this month. It was on sale. It’s okay.
“I got four items from Skims, I’m so nervous.
“I’m a 1XL girl, but knowing Kimberly, I don’t know if these are gonna be the most pleasant for me, so I did go a size up just to see how it fits.
“This first one is the Sculpting Bralette in sand, size 2X/3X.”
Lex took the bralette, the first item of her haul, out of the packaging and noted: “What is this? There’s no chance.”
Seconds later, Lex modelled her new bralette, as she added: “When I tell you I’m shocked that this fits on my body.
“It’s lightweight, it’s not supposed to have a lot of coverage, but, oh, my God, I’m very surprised.
“This fits really well. I did go a size up, but, like, okay, next.”
Next up, Lex showed off her new bodysuit, as she explained: “This next one is their sculpting bodysuit. This one I’m really apprehensive about.”
As she held up the tiny bodysuit against her body, she noted: “What is this? What the heck? What am I gonna do with this?
“No way. There might have been some luck on the top, but there’s no chance this is gonna work.”
But much to her surprise, the bodysuit fit perfectly, as Lex continued: “Kim, girlfriend. Okay. I can see what the hype about Skims is, man.
“I am honestly, truly shocked. The girls [boobs] are lifted.
“It’s actually so comfortable. I have Spanks and Spanks are great, it does the job, but this, I feel so smooth and it’s so lightweight.
“Honestly. Kim, I’m really, really impressed. I don’t typically like supporting celebrities, but this line slaps.”
Lex then modelled her new grey Skims co-ord, as she beamed: “I freaking love this. I ordered too big, I figured it’d be super tight, but no.
“This is the boyfriend t-shirt and the boyfriend boxers.
“I wish I got smaller. But this is so, so comfortable. I am shook.
“If her sale is still on, I’m buying more.
“So comfy to sleep in. It’s so breathable. It is see through, but that’s okay because it’s literally boxers.
“Well done, Kim.”
Lex shared her clip just four days ago, but it has clearly impressed many as it has quickly amassed 79,400 views.
It has 2,289 likes, 47 comments, 130 saves and 45 shares.
Social media users were left stunned at the Skims items and many were eager to thank Lex for her clip in the comments.
One person said: “Thank you for the unboxing I didn’t ask for, but needed.”
Another added: “I have been so on the fence because this is a fortune in Canada but you’ve convinced me.”
A third commented: “You look amazing sis.”
At the same time, one user asked: “Did you find it kinda sucks everything in? I wanna try it but I don’t wanna spend that much money if it’s not gonna actually make me look smaller.”
To this, Lex replied: “Smoothed out chubby parts, pulled in my stomach, makes dresses and shirts more flattering.”
