Lick Your Lips
Talk about multi-tasking! Huge Lips, Skinny Hips lip gloss plumps puckers while simultaneously curbing appetites. Thanks to active ingredients such as lemon peel oil, which soothes lips once plumping agent vitamin B3 activates, and Hoodia, an herb that suppresses appetite, you can watch your waist and score full lips all at once.

Wear a Stylish Belt
Take a cue from First Lady Michelle Obama and put on a belt! Whether you choose wide pieces to wear over cardigans or skinnier versions to cinch sheath dresses, belts trim figures instantly by defining waistlines.

Stand Up Straight
Attention slouchers! What if we told you standing (or sitting) up straight makes you look longer and leaner? Well it's true: Keep your shoulders back and head held high like Nicole Kidman and Beyonce to improve your silhouette.

Hide Muffin Tops
Piling on loads of layers isn't the most efficient way to conceal that post-holiday bulge. Instead, reach for one of Yummie Tummie's instantly trimming tees. Each tee contains the line's signature slimming panel, which smooths bumps and prevents those dreaded muffin tops from popping up (and out!).

Look Slimmer in Leggings
If you're going to hop on the denim leggings trend, why not choose a pair that slims your silhouette? Paige combines comfortable leggings with high-quality stretch denim for a piece that's stylish and flattering to all figures. The forward-sitting side seams slim hips while the semi-contoured waistband prevents extra spillage-Heidi Klum sported a pair a few weeks after giving birth! Add sky-high heels to make your legs look even longer!
