Baby Bump Cream Review


So this weekend we went to Buy Buy Baby- The Temple of all Baby stores.
You can literally get everything and anything you imagined at this store from liquid detergents (Dreft is Pediatrician recommended) to cribs to bath toys and things you never even knew existed (am I really going to have to put a lock on my toilet seat in the near future???)

We went in to pick up the infant car seat off our registry (they won't let you out of the hospital without one- so this is the one thing we decided to buy prior to the arrival of baby).

While waiting for this to come up from the warehouse, I gravitated towards the Mustela display as I've been curious to try these products for awhile now and most stores did not seem to have the "mommy" collection. Being 2 weeks away from my due date, I wasn't sure if I should get the postpartum cream or the Pregnancy 9 months cream. The sales person said I could try it and return it if I don't like it and since I don't have stretch marks she recommended that I try the pregnancy cream.

I returned home and could not wait to lather my belly with it. The fragrance was abundant and reminded me of "old lady cream" (fragrance is listed pretty high up on the ingredient listing). I also didn't like the lotion-like consistency. I kept rubbing and noticed that the cream started balling up - this is a BIG "no no" in the cosmetic world and a cue that the formulation was not perfected.  Overall, I was not impressed with this product and will be returning it to Buy Buy Baby.

The cream from L'Occitane is MUCH better. Just their regular Shea Butter one. Mustela was a big let down for me, too!

MAZEL TOV on your new addition, Shiri! Wishing you all the best!!!!
