BEST PREGNANCY PRODUCTS PART #1: SHEA TERRA ORGANICS, MAMA MIO SKINCARE

October 29, 2009

Now that I'm preggo, again, I'm determined not to get nary a stretch mark! Last time I made out without a scratch but that was before Groomed LA was born so I didn't get to track the products I used to keep my skin moist and stretchy…Well, here I am for you, and I'm giving you the low-down on what I'm stumbling upon as I go.  As you know I only dabble in the best stuff on earth, the highest quality of ingredients and manufacturing, so these products really are the best of the best! 

FIRST UP: SHEA TERRA MAMA'S GOLD STRETCH MARK AND PREVENTION OIL

This is just pure liquid gold. The minute you slather it on, you know it means biz.

Here's why: Shea oil, carrot seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, baobab oil, tsamma melon oil, marula oil, lemon essential oil, lavender essential oil, calendula, Egyptian chamomile, kigelli, African potato, blue mountain sage essential oil

Oh and it's formulated by a skin care beauty expert and mother of 11, from a combination of indigenous treasure such as the oil of the upside down tree that lives for thousands of years, to the sausage shaped fertility fruit of Southern Africa.

I have a feeling I'm going to be going though several of these over the next few months! 

BTW, I also went nuts over several of their other Shea Butter treats. I'm slathering this stuff on all day! Makes my scratchy cold weather skin feel soooo good!

Next: MAMA MIO TUMMY RUB STRETCH MARK BUTTER.

I'll start out by saying, this product jam packed with Omega 3, 6 and 9 has won 7 awards for excellence.  It's also got Shea Butter, Wheatgerm, Borage Oils, Sweet Almond Oil, Wheatgerm Oil and Rosehip Seed Oil. All the best ingredients to help skin's elasticity and cell integrity. I'm into rubbing this AND the TUMMY RUB OIL onto my entire torso for extra stretch mark prevention!!

This line founded by 4 beauty experts, conceived of these rubs 16 years ago when they all became mothers. 

See for yourself!

But wait, there's more. They've got tons of other MOMMY-TO-BE AND POST-PREGGO PRODUCTS.  Like Tummy Rub Oil, Boob Tube Bust and Neck Firmer, Goodbye Stretch Marks and tons of other goodies.  It's hard to choose!  Take a look at this link and knock yourself out.  This line makes the prefect baby shower gift.   I love the Congratulations! Kit for a super cool baby shower gift.  Major problem solved!

PRODUCT OBSESSION – W3LL PEOPLE

September 19, 2009

This is a freakin cool company. If you are into supporting cool companies with a vision of beneficial, safe, eco-conscious beauty products brimming with effective, natural ingredients…this is a company you need to check out.

W3LL PEOPLE

Just the tag line alone,  HIPPIE TESTED. DIVA APPROVED, tickles me green.

Here's the deal why this company makes me HAPPY.

Natural. Beauty.

W3LL PEOPLE skincare products are free from the chemicals you would rather your body not absorb. In order to create a true skin safe haven, our first priority is to carry products without ingredients that are irritating to the skin, or potentially harmful to the body and have minimized the use of preservatives through new technologies like airless packaging. We focus on the inclusin of organic ingredients in the product lines we carry wherever possible. However, there are some advanced ingredients, such as peptides, that simply aren’t available organically. We are committed to a safe, common sense balance of pure bioavailable ingredients that provide clinically proven effectiveness using the latest in technology.

 

Advanced Performance, Optimal Bioavailable Ingredients and Sustainability drive the W3LL PEOPLE mission and everything we do. The integration of these 3 elements create a new standard for beauty. And, as far as we're aware, no one does quite as sexy. W3LL PEOPLE is Beauty Conscious.


MY TWO FAVE MAKE UP PRODUCTS ARE: 


Can you be slap happy about a SUPERNATURAL LIP SHINE STICK? I can! This one, called Nudist, offers supernatural lip shine, mine, in a funky hot pink-purple-clear color, it's a moisturizing stick that has me digging in my purse in traffic, risking a pile up, just to slather it on.  Maybe it's the way it feels.  I dunno, but I'm nutso about it.  Maybe cuz it's free of those annoying petrochemicals and paraben that's got me hooked.  I think you really can feel the diff. 


The MINERAL CREME FOUNDATION/CONCEALER, called Narcissist (perfect for me), is also the balm, and I was suspect at first of a stick working creamy smoothe coverage but this one really does the trick! It's super light yet gives this really cool coverage…I'm diggin it big time…


Anyway, I've yet to try their SCENT and SKINCARE  lines but can't wait to order some stuff and dive in…!


Here are the peeps behind W3LL PEOPLE:

The Skin Doctor, The Makeup Guru and The Treehugger.  

The W3LL PEOPLE™ creators are Reneé Snyder, M.D., Shirley Pinkson and James Walker. Their pioneering vision and elite skills combine the best of science, medicine, nature and art – conscientiously. The result of their efforts is truly something beautiful. Join them in being W3LL.

Speaking of the Nudist Lipstick, wanted to let you know that W3LL PEOPLE is doing a promotion during October & November for Breast Cancer Awareness—specifically, all sales proceeds of the Nudist Lipshine #4 (my total obsession!!) will go to Breast Cancer Action (www.bcaction.org) during October & November.  

UPCOMING REVIEWS FOR SEPTEMBER!

August 28, 2009

Fall is around the corner.  NEW.  NEW.  AND RENEW!

Lots of great products on the horizon to fill you in about.

LA PRAIRIE  is introducing PLUMAGE DE NUIT, their gorgeous new line of fall make up colors.

NYC make-up artist Rachel Wade (LA PRAIRIE COLOUR AMBASSADOR) is their new colour ambassador.  The stuff is BEAUTIFUL.  There are also three delectable new scents called LIFE THREADS, in Gold,  Silver, Platinum.  Exquisite.  Refined. Elegant.  Let's just say, I want them all.

I am using SKIN AUTHORITY'S  "GO GORGEOUS" 21 day skin care regime and super excited to see the results. So far,  I'm hooked.  Skin is GLOWING!!  The ingredients in these products are top notch.  I also plan to hit the Skin Authority Spa Terre at the super cool Palm Springs resort, the RIVIERA this week.

After that it's onto renowned plastic surgeon GARTH FISHER'S new line of biomedical, anti-aging skin care CELLCEUTICALS.  All I can say is WHOO HOO!  This man is a master.   I won't exactly give away how I may  have first hand experience on this subject, but let's just say if they perform anything like his mastery with a knife, I'm sure to see major results ;).

Some other fun products down the line too, but that's enough for now, don't want to spoil you!

(Ok, hint:  YON KA and PHYTOMER.  Two of my obsessive favorite lines made from the best stuff on earth.  LITERALLY)
