Okay, so I finally caved and bought the KLVEE shapewear after seeing all the hype. Here's my real talk review after testing it out for a full week!

The tummy control is LEGIT. That X-cross design actually works - I wore it under a bodycon dress to a wedding and didn't have to suck in my stomach once. The high waist stayed put through dinner AND dancing (miracle!).

But here's the thing about the butt lift - it's subtle. Don't expect Kardashian-level curves, but it does give a nice rounded shape. The fabric is surprisingly breathable though - no swampy feeling even after hours of wear.

Size tip: I'm usually medium but sized up to large based on reviews, and SO glad I did. It's snug without being restrictive. The boning prevents rolling but isn't uncomfortable.

Only con? The first time putting it on was like wrestling an octopus! Once you figure out the technique though, it's easy. Would 100% buy again - already eyeing the black version!
