BRA TALK: Comfort and Confidence | Avon Fashions NEW Body Illusion 2019 Review

Okay, these new products shook me. I mean, are they for REAL??!

Well for someone who is trying to perform several roles in her late twenties; from being a blogger and content creative, to an online girl boss with a 9-5 job in a casino, it is surely one hell of a ride every single day---and I should always keep up! Like nothing can stop me from accomplishing my duties, as well as pursuing my passion, not unless something keeps on bothering me. And most of the time, *whispers* "It's what I wear inside". 

Alright, I'm talking about undergarments here, ladies! Yup, our ever-dependable bras and panties of course! And who among you will agree with me that these two can definitely make or break our day too? Come on, no matter how beautiful your blouse or dress is, if your bra gives you a very uneasy feeling, you can't simply be confident while wearing it. I know the feeling, because I often experience the "struggle".

#StruggleIsRealwithmyUndies

But who would have thought that such day would come, and I'll be so lucky enough to try these new products from AVON Philippines! Do you think I already found my soul mates?

AVON Fashions recently launched their ALL NEW BRAS and PANTIES under their Body Illusion innerwear line, which promise to give Filipina women seamless comfort and flexibility. The Body Illusion underwear, made with AVON's very own Invisilite material,  comes in two pairs: CHARLENE (underwire seamless bra and laser-cut panty) and SONIA (non-wire seamless pull-on bra and laser-cut panty). You can watch the short video below:

Though what's important here is to know if my own pair of Body Illusion underwear delivered what was expected. 

Oh my, I still want to delay this, but...YES, THEY DID! 

Now I'll try to give you a detailed review of CHARLENE. So what I got was a 34B underwire bra and a medium size hipster panty, both in Tuscany color. For the first impression (when I was not yet wearing them), I must say that:

1. Both appeared to be ordinary for me, in terms of design / style, and nothing really special. But I do appreciate the simplicity and functionality of the overall appearance. The thickness of the cups' foam is just right, and the width of the straps are just perfect for sleeveless tops. And for the panty, I pretty much like the cut. 

2. As I hold them, I was very impressed with the actual weight and 'feel' of both innerwear. They are super light (as in crazy light, and I can't believe it's actually possible for a bra with underwire), and feels very, very smooth on the skin (like where in the world did they got those kind of materials?)

3. Looking closely, I can say that both products are of high-quality. There are no seams on the fabric, yet the parts where the edges meet were sealed nicely. Plus, I was able to stretch both garments really hard, but they still manage to go back to their original form.


Here's a closer look:

Charlene Seamless Hipster Panty (Medium)

Can stretch up to twice it's original size

Laser-cut edges

Seamless, thus won't show through tight clothing

Charlene Seamless Underwire Bra (34B)

Eyeglass silhouette with ultra-soft foam cups

Underwires are not stiff nor heavy

Laser-cut edges

Foams are not too thick

Straps are soft and not too wide

The bra costs 899PHP, while the panty is sold at 299PHP. Quite pricey for me, but with the above impressions, I must say that I'm already half convinced to purchase another set. 

Of course, I also tried wearing both innerwear. Worn the Charlene bra and panty for three (3) alternate days, now here are my full thoughts about them:

1. They are my perfect fit. It has been a decade of struggle for me to find a comfortable cut for my undies, but I always end up with the "almost perfect" (either the bra cups are too big, or the straps are a few centimeters short). Now, I just look into the mirror with full pleasure. I just feel good in them. 

2. They are the most comfortable pair. When I slip on my corporate uniform on the first day, it was an odd yet great feeling to NOT really notice my undies! I can't see traces of them, and can't actually feel them underneath! No more pulling up and down, keeping my bra and panty in place---I was able to move all day in peace.

3. They never lose their form and are easy to maintain. I washed them for three times, and noticed that they are easy to clean and dries up pretty fast. Both retained their shapes perfectly even after washing. 

The perfect partner of a #girlboss

When it feels so light as air...

Indeed, I was even more confident to move around, accomplish tasks and go beyond my goals set for each day. All thanks to my new partners-in-crime! I will definitely switch to these bras and panties that can support my daily activities and will never get in the way. By the way, Body Illusion bras and panties are available in wide range of sizes, so you don't have to own the society's standard body size just to enjoy comfort.


#ForAllBodyShapesandSizes

Truly, every good thing starts from the inside. And with a pair of comfortable underwear, you can do anything and achieve everything as a WOMAN. Now that is FREEDOM.

Cheers to the unstoppable women!
