Mama Mio! Pampering for Mommys-To-Be

BellaSugar — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 09:12:22 -0700

Mama Mio is a fab new line of pampering products for the pregnant woman who has special needs. It was created by three mothers who all had previous experience in the beauty industry and were looking to invent something specific for the pregnancy era in women's lives when they are feeling awkward in their own skin!

The special fragrance in the products is also the key ingredient. It is called Gravida which is made from ten essential oils and lipids to help keep your skin soft and supple - it also means pregnancy in Latin, how clever! Oh, and don't worry, the smell has been proven to appeal to even those who are suffering from bouts of icky morning sickness.

So far the line consists of ten products: Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil, Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Cream, Boob Tube, Wonder-Full Balm, Moisturizing Shower Cream, Super-Rich Body Cream, Massage Oil, Gravida Candle, The Post Pregnancy Emergency Repair Tummy toner and Stretch Mark Minimiser.

They have also created five different kits which make terrific gifts! I love the one that's called, "It's Time." This is a perfect present to show up with when visiting a new mommy in the hospital. Two of their signature products from the Emergency Repair Line are especially noteworthy.

Stretch Mark Minimiser, $65, helps fade the appearance of yucky stretch marks that over 50% of women suffer from. Although surgery is really the only way to erase them, this concentrated, facial quality product will significantly lighten the marks and help your skin cells regenerate and renew themselves more quickly.
Tummy Toner, $65, helps restore tone in your tummy. From all of the stretching it's done, now it's time for it to shrink back to the way you looked pre-pregnancy. If only it were that easy! This product works in three stages: to exfoliate, moisturize, tighten/tone your stomach skin. Although you won't see results overnight, this "tummy peel" is clinically proven to help firm and tighten the tone of your belly post pregnancy.

Which Project Runway Pregnancy Look Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Last night's Project Runway was all about maternity wear. Did you tune in? The designers were asked to create an outfit for then-pregnant Rebecca Romijn, who is now the mommy of twin girls. The bulging belly was an obstacle for most of the designers, and it showed in their creations. Shirin's red draped dress and coat (left) ended up winning for being the most wearable, but there were a few other looks worthy of the win - do you agree with the winner and loser? Flip through and tell me, which PR pregnancy look is most Fab?

Fab Ad: Gisele For London Fog

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:51:12 -0700

If anyone can make a trench sexy it's Gisele. Iconic outerwear brand London Fog is clearly aiming to vamp up its image. This is Gisele's first fashion cameo after the announcement of her pregnancy. Dari Marder, chief marketing officer, London Fog, commented, "Nobody is sexier or more beautiful than Gisele Bündchen in nothing but a London Fog trench coat, even with her visible baby bump. This London Fog campaign features a classic portrait of Gisele in an iconic London Fog trench; it is a very fitting image for this timeless brand." Marder added, "Although Gisele was photographed while pregnant, most of the shots have been retouched to respect her privacy during this wonderful and personal time in her life." 'Tis true - I'm focusing on the allure of the classic trench, not Gisele's growing belly. Look out for Gisele in her sexy trench in October fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment magazines, outdoor billboards and online. What do you think? Do you like that they downplayed Gisele's bump?

Louis Vuitton threw a party in New York to celebrate the launch of the 40th anniversary of the lunar landing. Any reason to party, right?

Only one can be most Fab, who's it gonna be?

Independent Spirit Awards: Angelina Jolie

Whoa, mama. Angelina is confidently flaunting her baby bump - yay! She went from trying to hide it under a vintage Hermes dress at the SAG Awards, to exposing her small bump in a form-fitting black Western Costume dress. I can do without the slit sleeves, but Angelina is glowing. Do you think so?

Found! Nicole Richie's Henley Maxi

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:00:22 -0700

No one has a pregnant style quite like Nicole Richie. She manages to maintain her cool factor and show off her baby bump in cozy chic creations. Take this L'Agence Long Henley Dress ($235) she wore out and about in LA. True, you have to be rather svelte to wear it, but the casual henley style makes her appear approachable. Of course Nicole wore Loubs and a Givenchy bag to up the glam factor.

Model Muse: Cindy Crawford

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 04:00:22 -0700

There is no model more iconic than Cindy Crawford. The Super was a sensation with her sexy pout, luscious thick brows, and of course, her signature mole. And that body - wowza. As a youngster, I remember trying to look half as sexy when drinking a Pepsi but, sigh, only Cindy could work such magic. The most amazing thing about Cindy is that she has staying power. Over the last three decades, Cindy has perfected the art of appearing in TV ads, strutting the runways, and striking svelte editorial poses. Heck, she even looked drop-dead gorgeous when pregnant. Today, at 43 years old, she continues to amaze us. Click through the slideshow to see sensual Cindy through the years. Source
