I am closing in on the halfway point  on my 3rd pregnancy and my new favorite product is Mama Mio’s Tummy Rub  Butter. My skin was just starting to get dry and itchy as my tummy begins to swell and I had resigned myself to lotions and potions that just don’t quite cut it.  Then I was given the gift of Mama Mio’s Tummy Rub Butter, I shouldn’t be surprised since all the their products seem to work minor miracles.

 But this first time I used this my skin felt so much relief it was like a breath of fresh air. Now that I have been on the good stuff for a few weeks I have noticed along with protecting my growing skin its actually repairing past damage. I got pretty bad stretch marks with my first and was hoping to just not add any additional damage with this little bundle of joy. I was just noticing this morning that my old stretch marks seem a lot less scary the color has begun to fade and the lines are less pronouced. I might just start to lather my body head to toe with this miracle cream. Thank you Mama Mio!

Did any of you catch the season premiere of Gossip Girl last night? I’m ashamed to admit that I actually watch that show still.  I have no business (as a 32 year old woman) watching such a terrible show! In fact, I’ve never felt so old, as when I watch it – but hey, I still do. I can’t help it! I just like staring at all the pretty people, and their pretty clothes! So sue me! Anyway – Blake Lively recently opened up to OK! Magazine, and gave them two of her favorite products!

The blonde bombshell uses Kérastase Paris Masque Oléo-Curl Intense to give her trademark waves bounce and shine, and Chantecaille Lip Chic in Heirloom on her perfect pout. $58, kerastase.com; $30; chantecaille.com. I’ve never tried either of those products, and if any of you have – we’d love to hear from you!

Shiseido introduces its Fall 2009 Makeup collection, created by Shiseido’s Artistic Director Dick Page. The inspiration for this line was drawn from mosaic art, bringing a variety of different shades together to create a “full wardrobe” of colors, one that would fulfill a woman’s basic needs for every occasion. These colors are reflected in the new Luminizing Satin Eye Color Line, an elegant collection with the luminous look of fine silk. Available in 15 unique shades, this new interpretation of neutrals, pastels and brights makes choosing a color an adventurous pleasure. Each shade is meant to wear alone or in combination for an unlimited variety of looks for the season.

I love Shiseido’s new line! The eye shadows are beautiful! They are rich, and silky, and they last all day! I recently tried all of these products, and they are fabulous. I started with the Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil, and used two beautiful shades of the Luminizing Satin Eye Color. I finished it off with the Distinguish Mascara, which was great.

It is a GREAT line. The colors are beautiful, and they are so rich and bold.  I’ve already decided on the colors I have to try next, and I can’t wait to get my hands on them.  I’m picky about my eyeliners, and this is a great find. It glides on so easily, and smudges beautifully.

Go to your nearest Sephora and check out this line! You won’t be disappointed!

Also included in the 2009 Fall Collection:

• Shiseido Makeup Perfect Mascara is available in 2 new shades at $23
• Shiseido Makeup Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil is available in 2 new shades at $20
• Shiseido Makeup Luminizing Satin Eye Color is available in 15 new shades at $25
