I am 7 months pregnant and I am one of those typical pregnant New Yorkers, who is completely clueless about kids! I had no idea how difficult it can be when it comes to selecting what make up you can use, which foods you can eat - even certain nail polishes can be dangerous. It is a minefield out there!
So I wanted to share my thoughts on the items that have helped me on my journey – so far!
Topshop Maternity – the clothing line is super cool! They have skinny jeans, blazers, even beautiful lingerie which means you can still be a fashionista, despite feeling as big as a house. I have heard rumors that they are opening a store in downtown New York this September. I can’t wait! Apparently, it is going to a mega store with tons of floors filled with delectable fashion bits. In the meantime, you can always shop on the website: www.topshop.com if you can’t wait until the new location opens.
Mineral Makeup – I have had the luxury of obtaining my mommy-to-be glow throughout my pregnancy, so I haven’t really needed to wear much makeup. When I do, I only use mineral makeup because it contains natural ingredients that are safe and not harmful to the baby. A little bronzer and lip gloss and I am all set! Check out the newest offerings from www.Colorescience.com they have a great selection of products to choose from. The staying color of the products is great too, so if you are as lazy as me, there is no need to keep reapplying throughout the day.
Nail Polish – so finally, one of the most important purchases (well, for me anyway) is nail polish! All those doctors appointments means my feet are always exposed. It makes me feel better about myself knowing my feet look good! I wasn’t aware, but apparently nail lacquers are thought to contain nasty little chemicals that can cause birth defects. I was none the wiser, but luckily found this out earlier in my pregnancy and switched to a safer brand. Check out www.butterlondon.com a cool nail company which offers high fashion colors in a safe way.
If you are a mom (or soon to be) which beauty discoveries have you made during your pregnancy?
