Hate Your Stomach? Wish You Had Bigger Boobs? You DON’T Need Plastic Surgery. Try These Beauty Products instead.


Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-plastic surgery BUT, if there other options, why not try those first?  Believe me, if there was a cream that could’ve helped my former nose, I would’ve tried it. Ha.  I’m a fan of the above surgery alternatives…what do you guys think?

Fusion Beauty LiftFusion Eye LiftWrinkles result from facial expressions along with the loss of key skin components: collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. And while a lot of women resort to injections, this formula delivers similar results with out the high price tag and pain.

Bliss Fat Girl SixPack: I’m not into the whole miracle fat-reducing product myth thing but when I tried this product, I was pleasantly surprised.  The targeted tummy-toning gel contains a powerful blend of six actives to assist in toning and firming: caffeine plus amino acids, creatine, oat kernel extract, latex-rich manilkara tree extract, menthol and a special botanical extract. They’re all delivered with a built-in nubbed applicator, designed to strategically massage the formula into your skin.  It can’t hurt to add it to your fitness and healthy-eating routine, right?

Rodial Skincare Boob Job: Probably the funniest of the bunch, I love this product.  Granted, I don’t need a boob job but for someone who does, this might actually help out a little.  Myrrh resin increases the number of fat cells, promoting the volume around the bust area, while wheat proteins revitalize and lift, increasing radiance and smoothing skin.  Why not?

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme: I have mixed feelings on lip plumpers.  Some people say it stretches out your lips and will eventually cause wrinkles, but others think it’s a miracle product.  What do I say?  Do what you want!  Too Faced uses a potent quadra-delivery system that combines vitamin E, collagen-booster MaxiLip and Dehydrated Marine Sponge to stimulate blood flow, promote fullness and re-hydrate with the body’s own moisture for a long-lasting effect. Moisturizing doses of avocado and jojoba oil condition to ensure a smooth, plump pout. WINNER.

Plastic surgery beauty alternatives

So Heidi Montag revealed her “new body” (and face) a few months back and now that The Hills final season is about to premiere, she’s pretty much everywhere.  I just feel sadness for Heidi.  I’m not even going to get into how she was a beautiful girl to begin with, that aside, the amount of plastic surgery she recently had is just plain irresponsible and dangerous…not to mention, completely unecessary.

Living in Hollywood, I can atest that there’s definitely an underlying pressure to look perfect but I think for now, I’ll stick to other options…like these awesome beauty products that help deliver the same effect that surgery would provide:

Rodial Tummy Tuck – This stuff is the real deal.  I, naturally, was skeptical at first because I mean come on…a cream that will make my stomach flatter?  But after using it for a few weeks, I absolutely see a difference.  It doesn’t come cheap at $130 a bottle but if you want results from a cream, Rodial Tummy Tuck is the way to go.  BTW- they also make a cream called Boob Job and Bum Lift for those other areas you might need some help with.

Purple Lab NYC Cheek Implants – A gorgeous silken cream blush that glides across your skin like ice.  Cheek Implants is made with collagen, hyaluronic acid, nylon, etc. to really plump up your cheeks and provide a sharper jaw line.

LiftFusion Face Lift – A topical alternative to doctor-administered anti-wrinkle injections.  This product is both a powerful wrinkle relaxant and a collagen-booster in one safe, needle-free formula.  Also, it works within TEN minutes.  Crazyyyy.
