LOOKING FOR AN ALL-NATURAL ANTI-AGEING CREAM?
I've found one... {and it won't blow your budget}!
THE PR BLURB: Natrasorb Face Treatment Cream boosted with Renovage not only helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it also addresses the other obvious signs of ageing including uneven skin tone, fine lines, rough spots, dilated pores and dryness.
BELLAMUMMA'S VERDICT: This cream is super-hydrating without feeling gloopy on your skin. It also makes the perfect make-up primer, your foundation just glides on. I also love the fact that's it's 100% natural and doesn't contain any nasty chemicals!
CELEB BELLAMUMMAS... Cate, Jessica with Honor, Jennifer with Violet and Halle... all out and about the past week!
THE TRICK TO WELL-NOURISHED, GLOWING SKIN... is to apply your moisturiser directly after having your shower!
Don't towel-off too much, just gently pat skin with your towel, then massage in your cream or lotion. The reason why —damp skin acts like a sponge and retains more moisture.
PS. To keep skin looking super dewy, forget the powder.
PPS. bellaMUMMA has been nominated for a DIVINE CAROLINE 'LOVE THIS SITE' award... if you get a minnie, I'd really REALLY appreciate your vote!!! All you have to do is

GIVE YOUR BODY A 'LIFT' FOR SUMMER with these 'firm' tips from
Elle magazine...
1. Massage cellulite-prone spots to stimulate the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which break down fatty tissue. Follow with an anticellulite cream containing caffeine, seaweed, herbs or spices and you'll reduce signs of cellulite for up to 24 hours.
2. Mask stubborn body dimples by applying self-tanner {cellulite isn't as noticeable on bronzed skin}. To ensure a flawless finish, exfoliate and moisturise skin beforehand.
3. Soften rough, flaky patches on your face or body by dabbing on olive oil. Olive oil soothes dry skin and absorbs easily to nourish deep beneath the surface. It's also rich in vitamin E which helps restore and retain skin's youthfulness.

HARPERS IS ONE OF MY FAVE MAGS... {I actually started my career as Fashion Assistant on Australian
Harpers}... and I loved Claudia on the November issue... now it's Victoria's time to take the December cover... She revealed to the mag that even after three children, she maintains her sexy body by working out and she does not rely on Photoshop. “I didn’t want to rely on retouching. I wanted to look at those pictures in 20 years’ time and say, ‘Wow, look, after three kids, I didn’t look bad.'"
THIS IS 'THE' BEST SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER {big statement} but for my hair that's 'snappy', it's true! Here's why...
THE PR BLURB: Pantene Nourished Shine Shampoo and Conditioner features twice the miracle pro-v ingredient. It has been tested and proven to penetrate deeper inside the cortex than before, targeting the most damaged cuticles to help repair hair from within. It nourishes hair on the inside for shine on the outside.
BELLAMUMMA VERDICT: My hair is chemically-challenged {bleached to within a millimetre of it's life} and this is the only shampoo and conditioner that miraculously makes my hair look and feel healthy. I've tried others {some way-more expensive} and I still come back to Pantene! Can't live {well, be blonde} without it!
I'M LOVING THIS MAKE-UP TRICK FROM
INSTYLE MAG...
To accentuate your complexion and make you look radiant: Mix a silky {moisturising} foundation with a luminescent tinted moisturiser. {This cool little mix gives the softest glow to the skin without making it too shimmery.}
To set the look, swipe bronzing powder gently over your face. Finish with a bright, cool-toned pink on the cheeks for a pop of colour.
PS. Lilac/purple eyeshadow {which I mentioned in a previous post} looks perfect with this look too!

THERE MAY SOON BE WARNINGS ON PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGES IN FRANCE... hooray!
Fifty French politicians lead by Valerie Boyer (of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s UMP party) are doing all that they can to get a law in place which will force magazines billboards, and product packaging to label all of their photoshopped images with the tag “digitally enhanced”
“Retouched photograph aimed at changing a person’s physical appearance. These photos can lead people to believe in a reality that does not actually exist, and have a detrimental effect on adolescents," said Boyer. “Many young people, particularly girls, do not know the difference between the virtual and reality, and can develop complexes from a very young age. In some cases this leads to anorexia or bulimia and very serious health problems. It’s not just a question of public health, but also a way of protecting the consumer.”
Let's hope this starts happening all around the world! What do you think?
