Back magic shape wear is a type of undergarment that helps alter the shape of the body. It is designed to provide support and compress certain areas, such as the waist, hips, and back, to create a more flattering silhouette. This type of shape wear is often used by individuals who want to slim down their figure or achieve a more hourglass shape. It is commonly worn under dresses, skirts, or pants to smooth out any bumps or bulges and create a smoother overall appearance. Back magic shape wear typically comes in various styles, including high-waisted briefs, bodysuits, and waist cinchers. These garments are made from a combination of materials, such as nylon, spandex, and elastane, which provide a stretchy and flexible fit.

Review: The Curse of Sleeping Beauty Is a Snooze-Fest
Fairy tales have been told, retold, modernized, and altered since falling into the cultural lexicon. The current trend seems to be returning (or claiming to return) to their original darkness. The not-so-great (but not terrible) prequel/sequel The Huntsman: Winter’s War (although, still love Emily Blunt riding that bear … awesome!) came to us last month, and now there’s a small budget film taking inspiration not from Snow White, but Sleeping Beauty.
The one thing I can say in favor of Curse of Sleeping Beauty is that it commits to that Grimm darkness—but embracing the darkness doesn’t necessarily make everything better, and the darkness here doesn’t make up for how unbearably dull it turns out to be.
Ethan Peck continues a string of not-so-great genre films (In Time, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) but is the lead this time as Thomas, an artist with sleep paralysis who dreams of Sleeping Beauty (India Eisley). It should be noted that the above image is from the dream sequences, which are really nice to look at, but they only make up about 15 percent of the movie. As beautifully as those scenes are designed to create a dreamy, sexy horror image, it doesn’t make up for the total lack of chemistry Peck and Eisley have on-screen (I had terrible flashbacks to that sand scene in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones). Eisley is the kind of actress tailor-made to be in horror, and considering the ending, I sense everyone knew they shouldn’t have sidelined her as quickly as they did in this movie.
Ultimately, the movie takes place almost entirely in and around a present-day haunted house and follows Peck, not Eisley. Peck’s family has the Sleeping Beauty curse, which requires the male heir to live inside because they’re tied by blood to the house. I appreciate that explanation, because it avoids that too common “why stay in the house?” question, but wow can people figure stuff out fast in this movie! It isn’t just full of expositional dialogue—all these characters seem to have ESP in order to make their logical jumps so quickly—and while the production design of the house by Alessandro Marvelli is good for this kind of movie (and too good for this one in particular), the scenes are shot with such dark filters (possibly to cover up some less impressive effects) that it’s hard to get scared, because you don’t see exactly what happened.
So the house is “haunted,” and Peck needs to figure out what the curse is with the house he inherited from his uncle. He gets help from a very eager realtor (Natalie Hall) and her friend Richard (Bruce Davison)—you know, the paranoia expert type who lives conveniently close by all these horror movies. Again, the ability of these characters to figure stuff out without evidence or logic is kind of amazing. They get the help of a friend (James Adam Lim) to crack the code of the curse (note to filmmakers: speeding film up in a comedic style isn’t great for horror), and then they go back to the house to wait Sleeping Beauty.
Then there’s an ending for Sleeping Beauty herself that left me baffled, but in case you are curious about watching this, stop reading now. Major spoilers below.
Eisley returns as Sleeping Beauty/Briar Rose … but is actually a demon whose evil has been re-awakened? I have to admit that I didn’t expect that twist—at all—but why hold the most interesting and original thing in the whole damn movie until the last 5 minutes? Why isn’t this just the movie? And more importantly … did you really think people would want the sequel you seem to be setting up?
The strange thing about that abrupt ending is that the movie’s less than 85 minutes (82 plus 4 minutes of credits), but it still feels long because it’s so boring! The script is pretty bad, with lines like “May the spirits be on your side” almost making me laugh, and besides the lack of chemistry, Peck isn’t a very engaging performer to spend even that much time with. They clearly want to make him the classic, old-fashioned everyman (all the PR for this movie focused on him being Gregory Peck’s grandson), but he doesn’t hold the screen’s interesting long enough to care what happens to him next. More disappointing is the fact that I’m a big chicken about haunted house movies (I literally yelled during Insidious 2), but this movie just isn’t scary, because you see every scare coming without seeing much actual horror.
Pearry Reginald Teo clearly has technical and artistic skills as a director, but the lack of real originality and interest in characters suggests he isn’t a real storyteller … yet. There’s almost no reason that this movie should focus on Sleeping Beauty (it could just as easily been Snow White or just based on general fairy tale imagery), and if you aren’t going to comment on the public’s awareness and preconceived ideas about the fairy tale you choose, isn’t it just a wasted opportunity?

It can help create a more defined waistline, lift and shape the buttocks, and flatten the stomach. It can also provide lower back support and improve posture. While back magic shape wear can be effective in temporarily altering the body shape, it is important to note that it is not a permanent solution. The effects of shape wear are temporary and will only last as long as the garment is worn. Additionally, prolonged use of shape wear may restrict movement and breathing, so it is important to choose the right size and fit for comfort. Overall, back magic shape wear can be a useful tool for those who want to enhance their figure or achieve a smoother appearance. However, it is important to use shape wear in moderation and choose the right fit and style for comfort and effectiveness..
Reviews for "Get Rid of Love Handles with Back Magic Shapewear"
1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I found the "Back Magic Shapewear" to be completely ineffective and a waste of money. The product claims to provide support and correct posture, but I didn't notice any difference when wearing it. It was uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time and didn't provide the slimming effect it advertised. I would not recommend this shapewear to anyone looking for real results.
2. Lisa - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the "Back Magic Shapewear" but was ultimately disappointed with the results. While it did provide some support for my back, it was incredibly bulky and noticeable under clothing. The fabric felt cheap and uncomfortable against my skin, and the adjustable straps did little to improve the fit. Additionally, the shapewear didn't have any effect on my posture or overall appearance. I would advise looking for a different brand if you want true results.
3. Jennifer - 1/5 stars - I regret purchasing the "Back Magic Shapewear" as it did not live up to its claims. The fit was extremely tight and uncomfortable, and I didn't notice any improvement in my posture or back support. The fabric did not breathe well, causing me to sweat excessively while wearing it. I also found that it rolled up constantly, making it a hassle to constantly readjust. Overall, I feel like I wasted my money on a product that did not deliver on its promises.
4. Mark - 2/5 stars - The "Back Magic Shapewear" did not meet my expectations. While it did provide some support for my back, it was not as effective as I had hoped. The adjustable straps were difficult to use and didn't stay in place, resulting in a poor fit. Additionally, the shapewear didn't provide any noticeable slimming effect or enhance my posture as advertised. I was disappointed with this product and would not purchase it again.
