Ali's Top 5 Spring 2012 Essentials

I love dressing up and wearing a full face of makeup, but life as a Mommy makes that a much bigger challenge than is worth it most days. So, I love me some products that can achieve great results with minimal effort. I also love me some sugar. These are a few things on my radar right now:

Ali's Top 5 Spring Essentials

Reebok RealFlex Transition Runners, $99
Getting back in shape post baby has been a huge goal of mine so I've been working out like a fiend. I got these Reeboks at a media event and it was love at first sight. Could they be any cuter? They're super comfy too, so I've worn these for long walks with the wee one.

Often the only makeup I have time to apply before dashing out the door is swipe of lipstick or mascara. CoverGirl's Blastflipstick, $12ish in Cheeky is the perfect cherry pink and the colour really lasts. Benefit's They're Real! Mascara, $22ish is unbelievable long lashes in just one coat.

Vichy LiftActiv Serum 10, $55 is what I use in the morning after very little sleep to fake a perky face.

Greg's Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream, $3ish a scoop. I realize this goes completely against my fitness goals, but one needs to reward one's self every now and then, right? I have a scoop of this in an espresso (Espresso Affogato) from White Squirrel and I could die.

Like any of these? I know you at least want the ice cream!

Applied some this morning! Next time i'm at White Squirrel I will be sure to try the toasted marshmallow.

But who cares if it gets you moving, right? @Becky, I recommend using a lip balm underneath if your lips are dry. But I'd say that for any lipstick. I just love how long the colour lasts with the Blastflipstick. Yes, the Vichy serum is something else. I have some fine lines so I see results. If you don't have fine lines or wrinkles you don't need it yet ;). Re the espresso affogato craving - sorry 'bout that! XO

I just started using Vichy LiftActiv moisturizer for dry - very dry skin. So far I really like it!! They have a serum too!? Why didn't i see that in the L'Oreal sale? Oh well... I really want to go to White Squirrel now. You have my craving for ice cream and esspresso!
