Most Useful Items For This Oldish Alt Plus Size Gal
16
items I’m at an age where it’s weird for me to wear alt clothes for most of society but am expected to looked put together. I’m going to do it in a way that makes me feel good. These are a few recent purchases to that cause.

Things that make me feel pretty
I surprisingly loved the universal tinted moisturizer. I have never in my 49 years worn foundation. But I saw a lot of chatter and was like who couldn’t use a touch of color and a good moisturizer. I got the matte but I wouldn’t say it really is matt...

I like this the best out of all the Tarte and Morphe, Cover Girl, and other mass makeup cover ups I’ve tried. I have dark circles idk why but I do. I use this and a brick red to cover them. On good days I only need this. So if your circles are too ba...
DRMTLGY Medium Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41
Really love these shades. The two middle shades are actually quite sheer but they layer so well. The dark brown creates a cool smokey effect.
Outer Spice ChromaPlus 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette
This is really more of a nude palate but creates a nice workday look without being too heavy.
Mauve Mode ChromaPlus 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
This creates an amazing pop for my blue eyed friends!!
Black Honey High Impact Gel Tech Eyeliner - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
I’m not a lipstick fan but I love that this shade is buildable.

A couple items that increase the quality of my existence currently. It’s not easy constantly being hot and sweaty and well in a skin suit that’s breaking down.
I was extremely skeptical when my husband gave me a jar. It’s like a very light fluffy whipped gel. The jar will probably last forever because you need so little. I have a tattoo that needed touching up. It’s 31 years old. The frost definitely makes ...
Harry's Tattoo Frost Aftercare Gel 2 Pack
I bought two of these and honestly after sitting at Citifield in the blaring sun, 10 million % humidity and 90 degrees …. They Are Worth It! Lasted so long! 10/10 definitely buying again! Also super helpful for work when I’m dripping sweat while pick...
Diveblues Mini Portable Turbo Fan 4000mAh
Idk I guess popsockets are going out of style but idk how to live without one. Grabbed this cutie on Amazon and it’s the first one to actually be of strong quality.
PopSockets Adhesive Phone Grip - Ghosted
On the pricier side of Amazon stretching kits but it was the only one that had two gauges per size. The tunnel is made of a harder plastic but I don’t mind compared to my previous silicone tunnels.

Plus sized alt clothes that work for my round hourglass body.
Got this to see My Chemical Romance and expected kind of crappy quality. But it’s great quality and I got so many compliments! It is very flattering for plus size girls !
Scarlet Darkness Gothic Pirate Corset Dress
I got this before I bought the cute black and white dress to go with my original outfit for MCR. I attempted to cancel it because I realized it was going be 90+ degrees and the original outfit was inappropriate for that weather. Order didn’t cancel a...
Century Star Mesh Crop Top Sheer Shrug
Definitely size down and this is really low cut. But very flattering and comfortable!
Nightfall Flutter Sleeve Corset Top
Sizing up maybe helpful. I’m not sure these will be flattering on everyone but I liked them.
Nightfall Lace-Up Flare Pant
I haven’t seen this one it must have popped up somewhat recently. Idk why Hot Topic has such strange genres for their shirts. Anyway found this cutie in Pop Punk.
Fall Out Boy Reaper T-Shirt
I’m a sucker for anything that has their Kerplunk flower on it. The flower off the album cover was my first tattoo 30 years ago.
