Ooh La La, Sisely Phyto-Lip Star from Paris – Bridget Oberlin reports!

June 23, 2010

OMG, I know exactly how Christopher Columbus must have felt when he got credit for discovering America…a tad guilty because there were other people here already, but happy to overlook that minor technicality and take the glory anyway!  

Peeps, I present to you, Sisely Phyto-Lip Star!  

It’s lip gloss, only better.  Think of it as lip jewelry.  Can we say I discovered it?  

My sister-in-law, Kate brought it to me from South Africa a year ago but I just broke the seal on it the other day.   Perhaps it was the unassuming packaging that allowed me to, excuse the pun, gloss over it for a year.   But as soon as I applied it to my lips I was transfixed by the rich translucent color and intense gloss that easily glided on without any stickiness.   As if that’s not enough, the best part was yet to come when hours later I discovered my lips were still shimmering.   Wha?   Full disclosure, I have NEVER been able to keep lip gloss on for longer than about thirty minutes because I’m a nibbler, especially when there’s flavor involved.   But Sisely Phyto-Lip Star has dressed up my formerly lackluster pucker.  

 It’s available in ten stunning shades. 

Phyto-Lip Star Extreme Shine
DEEP TOURMALINE
PINK SAPPHIRE
SHINY RUBY
PRECIOUS CORAL
LIGHT AMETHYST
WHITE DIAMOND
SPARKLING TOPAZ

Sparkling Topaz is my rock, but all the shades are gems.  

And even at $55. a tube, these jewels are worth every penny.

Bebe Au Lait/ Hooter Hiders – When only your baby needs to be checkin’ out your boobs…

June 21, 2010

Sure, my post-preggo boobs are giant fun filled lobes of milk-filled-fun that would make Heidi Montag jel. But that fun is really only for le bebe.  I have no interest in letting the rest of the world get a peek at their naked ginormity (or is it ginormosity?)  Breast-feeding in public is no picnic (a post from my mommy blog with my first kid, 4 years ago, about the bafoonery of trying to do so), at least for me, and this time I was going to make sure no waiters or distant relatives were going to get any over-sized-nipple action when whipping out the milk-shakes for Baby AJ. 

Enter BEBE AU LAIT/HOOTER HIDERS

The absolutely perfect solution to keeping things nice and cool while feeding the kid around other peeps, which let's face it, is just stressful. 

First of all, the fabrics are gorgeous.  The hardest part was deciding which one to get. They are designed so you can get a full view of baby while he's chowing down, he's not smothered by some random blanket and you can look chic while baby's doing his thing.

I ended up getting this one – KYOTO –  and I am LOVING IT!

Want my pre-baby body back. Part 2: JACKIE KELLER’S “BODY AFTER BABY”

June 17, 2010

If the  BODY AFTER BABY – THE BOOK is anything as amazing as Jackie's  NUTRIFIT'S DELISH DIET HOME MEAL DELIVERY then I've got high hopes for dropping these 17 pounds in hopefully…no time.

Been cracking it open in between baby AJ's marathon boob-feeding jags and it looks totally do-able!

Of course I'd love a month of home delivery to get my going, but in the meantime this is something every woman can do after le bebe pops out and for super cheap.

Natasha B. reports: A WELL POLISHED LOOK

June 5, 2010

With summer vacation just around the corner, now is the time to experiment with a fresh, new nail color.  I’m giving my favorite “greige” polish some long overdue time off (specifically OPI’s You Don’t Know Jacques!) and hitting the beach this month with a bright,

bold pop of color.  Behold, Chanel’s summer collection of Le Vernis Nail Colour.  The colors are Mistral (soft pink), Riviera (intense pink) and, my favorite, Nouvelle Vague (turquoise).  A refreshing Andy Warholesque shade of pastel aqua-blue with just a hint of shimmer – and a hint of 1980’s glam — this is one of my favorite shades by Chanel, EVER. 

Watch out beach, my freshly pedicured toes are sure to make a splash.

xx, Natash
