Robyn Lawley is the First Plus Size Model to Appear in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Not long after word got out that Sports Illustrated will feature a plus-size model in their 2015 swimsuit issue (feb 9th), more exciting news came, they will also be featuring plus-size models in their editorial pages.
It was announced yesterday that size 12 Robyn Lawley will be a Sports Illustrated 2015 Rookie, along with five other models.

But, is this really the first time to feature a curvier model in their magazine – Kate Upton, who has been on the cover no less than three times, is a size 10. And, can we really call these ladies plus-size?
These days if you’re over size 8 (UK) you are considered plus-size, should the term plus-size be dropped?
What do you think of the plus-size model’s placement in the magazine? And the term plus-size. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Have Oily Skin? In Need of the Right Foundation and Primer? We’ve got you Covered

If you tend to shine – and we don’t mean in the good way—then you are definitely in need of the right foundation for your skin type, preferably one that is not too cakey, too shiny or too light. Down below are some of my favourite liquid foundations, all of which improve the appearance of your skin by minimising oiliness and, most importantly, stay put all day long.

So, whether you wish to blur wrinkles, mattify, minimise the appearance of pores or even skin tone, primers do this whilst creating a velvety base for lasting make-up.
