The Prize I Almost Won

On Dec. 26, 2011 I received an email from MadameDeals.com stating that I had won a brand new bathing suit from Yokini Swimwear! I was soooo excited :) I never spend more than $20 on a bathing suit, and getting one worth over $100 was mind boggling to me. Honestly I was originally planning to sell it and putting the cash towards my infertility treatments. While I like their stuff, I would like a baby more lol However, my husband talked me out of it. Saying I never had nice stuff and should keep it. 

In the middle of January I had asked on an update on when the suit was being shipped. At that time I was told that they were out of the XL (fits 12-14) bottoms, but that they would be back in stock sometime in March. That wasn't a  problem for me at all. January in Northern Maine is very cold and summer was still months away. So I put the emails in my follow up folder and forgot about them until mid-April. At that time I was told the bottoms were still on back order, but they would have them in about four months. There were nice enough to ask if I wanted to get it in a different size so I could give the suit to a friend. That struck me as a bit odd, but oh well. 

This time the email exchange goes on a bit further. The lady at Madame Deals was getting a bit antsy and wanted to know what the hold up was too. One of the co-founders assured her that the bottoms would be back in stock soon. At that time she did decide to send me the top. 

I have to say the top is very nice. It has great support and my husband says it makes my boobs look fantastic! It's also a very nice, high quality material. I'm sure it'll last forever lol Unfortunately, I still don't have any bottoms to go with this awesome top. 

The last communication I received from Yokini was on June 1st stating that I would have the bottoms by the end of the summer season. If I lived in a warmer climate that might be ok, but where I live that means if I even get the bottoms I won't be wearing the suit until next summer. I responded back telling them to forget it. I also advised them that they should remove the XL offering from the size chart since they obviously can't keep them in stock. 

In the end I'm not upset or heartbroken over this. While I would love to have a bottom that matched the top this was a free prize. However, if I had paid the $100+ for this suit I would be absolutely livid at this point. 

While they do make really nice swimsuits, I would advise anyone considering purchasing through them to avoid the XL sizes. At least for the bottoms anyways. I feel that if they are going to make people wait months and months for products they want to give away so we can help to promote their business, they really don't want to promote their business. 

Thankfully I don't have to wait for their bathing suit. I did a review for VodaSwim and got a fantastic suit from them for free! The top from Yokini will probably just sit in my drawer for a few years until I remember that I need to buy a bottom to go with it, or I donate it to our local thrift store.  

Voda Swimsuit Review

Recently I was given the opportunity to review a Voda Swim swimsuit. Voda Swim is a brand new concept in bikini design! They use a special patent-pending Envy Push Up bikini top that was created by Yulia Drummond. The amazing Envy Push Up will increase the look of your bust by up to two cup sizes! It doesn't even look like a normal push up bra. It has soft and pliant enhancer cups that give your breasts a fuller, more rounded contour. It also allows for some natural bouncy movement of your breasts. 

They have several different swimsuits to chose from. I chose to test out their one piece. This suit also includes tummy control to make you look even better! I ordered the large size and have to say that for the most part it fit perfectly. However, the top was a little small. I have large breasts and there isn't that much coverage for a woman like me, or well at least not as much as I normally like. It definitely pushed them up and made them look fuller though :) Unfortunately, large is the biggest size they offer in this particular style. I think an XL would have fit me better in the top. 

Here's a picture of me in my old bathing suit. :( Not very flattering at all!!

Here's a picture of my in my new suit from VodaSwim :) 

The swimsuit is also made from very high quality material. I have a feeling that this suit will last for a very long time with the proper care.  I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a  new swimsuit that works to make you look better get one of these.

Voda Swim Review & Giveaway!

This Review & Giveaway is done by SaraLee's Deals Steals & Giveaways

Are you needing or wanting a little help when it comes to showing off or enhancing what nature gave you. Then this is the swimsuit for you. The Push up swimsuit is a must have for this summer.

Product Description
Voda Swim is a new concept in bikini design. The magic is in a the patent-pending Envy Push Up bikini top created by international model Yulia Drummond. The Envy Push Up top visually increases the bust size by up to two cup sizes, without looking like a push-up.

The secret is in the fit...and a little hidden magic in the form of Yulia's patent pending Envy Push Up top. A soft and pliant enhancer cups the breast, giving a full, rounded contour, with a natural bouncy movement and provides great lift and support.  Envy Push Up tops are comfortable; they have no underwiring and are designed to enhance or create natural looking cleavage. Additionally, they retain less than a tablespoon of water, where as typical push-up tops retain up to a cup of water in each bust.

The picture on the left is my girlfriend in a normal bikini. The picture on my right is my friend in the Envy Push Up ® Shirred Tankini. As you can see the tankini gave her added top support and tummy control. Her bust size is normally a small B but when wearing the tankini top she looks to be a C. I was surprised to see how much more enhanced her bust was. My friend wears a large and this was true to size. I am very pleased with the  Voda Swim Envy Push Up Swimsuit. My girlfriend said she now has a new favorite suit for the summer.
