In the wake of the recent Hollywood baby-boom, the red-carpet at the upcoming Oscars will undeniably be flooded with a plethora of baby bumps. Pregnant celebs such as Kate Hudson, Victoria Beckham, Natalie Portman, Selma Blair and the newly pregnant Jessica Alba are sure to get plenty of notice for their maternity style. And how will they perfect their looks? With none other than celebrity skincare expert Mama Mio, of course!

While expecting Honor in 2008, Jessica Alba embraced her pregnant physique and notably stellar style by highlighting her assets on the red carpet. We know she’ll do the same this time around by using her favorite Mama Mio product: Boob Tube Bust and Neck Firmer ($45; www.mamamio.com). This crinkle-fighting formula promotes firmer, fitter, glowing, dewy, youthful skin from the neck down, a must when preparing for a revealing neckline on the red carpet. CoQ10 helps defy gravity while Omega 3, 6 and 9 keep your neck and décolleté looking firm and plump. Milk Thistle, Evening Primrose Oil and Sweet Almond Oil maintain moisture for healthy, brilliant skin.

The amazingly beautiful Selma Blair showed off her maternity glow at the recent Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. You too can achieve a soft sheen like Selma’s by using her favorite Mama Mio product: O-Mega™ Body Oil ($35; www.mamamio.com) Free of carriers and emollients, this formula is 100% replenishing moisture. Truly superfood for the skin, Mama Mio’s magic mix of natural Argan, Safflower, Sweet Almond and Jojoba oils delivers much-needed Omegas 3, 6 and 9 to nourish and elasticize the skin for a noticeable and immediate difference. Thirsty skin drinks up the quenching blend instantly as it quickly sinks in, locks in moisture and throws away the key.

The always fashionable Victoria Beckham never lets her pregnancies get in the way of style! Pregnant with her fourth child, the Mama Mio Skincare fan was recently spotted in Heathrow wearing her signature stilettos. At this year’s Oscars, other pregnant celebs can also brave the red carpet in heels with the help of Mama Mio Lucky Legs ($19; www.mamamio.com). Developed to relieve legs and feet when exhausted, swollen, heavy, and in need of intense refreshment, this mini-spa treatment glides on to instantly cool and ease weary limbs—from knees to tippy toes. Lucky Legs is formulated with V-Tonic, a blend of safe, essential oils handpicked to relieve pain and lighten heavy legs with a tingly cool sensation. 80% of women tested reported immediate relief! Menthol and Spearmint cool and refresh as Aloe Vera and Chamomile calm and Yarrow helps skin tone.

Born in Waipahu, on the beautiful island of Hawaii, Belle Bouton realised early on that in a sea of beautiful bellies, she had something special – she could sing. She decided right there and then that she wanted to share her unique gift with the world. Belle’s ambition led her to talent show after talent show, singing her favourite disco song “In the Navel.”

Fast forward 2 years and Belle and the Buttons was formed. Musical inspirations vary from Tum Jones and Belly Furtado to N-Tubz… The girls had a local hit “Do The Belly Rub” which reached the savvy ears of entrepreneurial mogul, Tummy Tucker, founder of legendary label Mama Mio Records. Tucker signed them and the first result of their collaboration “Check Me Out, I’m Fabulous” is already getting a lot of attention. According to Belle: “we’ve got something different to offer. Others sing from the heart, we sing from the gut.”

I am a huge fan of Mama Mio products they make honest products that do what they promise and now they are joining forces with Look Good.. Feel Better. With every purchase of Get Waisted this year Mama Mio will donate $1 to Look Good..Feel Better, now that is something to sing about!

Mama Mio are very proud to be partnering with the amazing cancer support charity, Lood Good… Feel Better.

LGFB make a huge difference to how women feel when coping with the harrowing effects of cancer and the necessary treatments. We want to help them extend this work and one of our many fundraising initiatives is our donation of $1 for every Get Waisted we sell through mamamio.com and Debenhams.

I am a huge Mama Mio fan and was just sent a sample of their latest product  Lucky Legs and I am in love all over again. Lucky Legs is a really light serum, just two pumps and I can cover my legs from my knees down. As soon as I smooth it on I can feel the tingle of the spearmint and menthol and my legs make an almost audible sigh of  happines. This is perfect at the end of a long day as a reward for my weary legs.
