That is not Ed Asner in a dress! That is me, Meg, as a baby. I can see the confusion. I was so fat my mother had to slit this Christmas dress in the back to get it to fit over my head. When I was brought to the photographer, he said "Oh my God, what do you feed this kid!" My mother replied that I didn't eat that much. There was a woman in the waiting room watching the entire exchange. She told my mother that she shouldn't worry. Super fat babies meant thin adults. My mother just said "We don't think she's slimming down anytime soon."

It's good my parents didn't ridicule my weight by dressing me in hippo themes or anything. HAHA real funny.

Due to the trauma of being laughed at for the first 2 years of my life, I believe this could lead a person to search for products to beautify them until they keel over. Subconsciously, of course.

I tried hard to think about "What would I shrivel up and die without?"

Here's how these products made my cut. The basket cut. Because I have so many new products that come in I have baskets that are specified for each product. I have the eye basket, the lip basket and then I have THE BASKET The one next to my sink that is filled with products I absolutely love! Here's my favorites from 2007!

Nad's Facial Wand I've saved so much money doing my own eyebrows with this. I usually can't maneuver wax strips but this is a cinch. End result is clean and professional. If you're a slave to the eye wax salon, save money and time. I urge you to give this a try!

Nailtini Nailpolish We've already gone crazy for their gorgeous summer shade "frappe" and am so excited to be reviewing the perfect winter shade in Amaretto Fizz soon. Every nail salon should carry these, they don't chip, apply easily and have amazing blends! All with fun, potent names. Everyone said 100% Recommend in their overwhelmingly positive reviews!

Alexander De Markoff Disquise for Eyes This is the best eye primer I've ever used. No only does a tiny bit go for a long long way but it not only brightens and camouflage it keeps the eyeshadow on forever. I grab for it everyday and have yet to make a dent in the bottle. It is excellent!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transformation Potion I love this, It makes sexy bedroom eyes so simple! Once I smudge a smoky black eyeshadow on the top of my lids for drama I grab this baby. With an easy pen like applicaion I just draw the clear formula along my top lid for a perfect looking liquid line! Since the formula is clear it matches any color you have on your lids. Simply genious! Makes any klutz into a skilled makeup artist!

The Balm's Balmshelter Coverage, moisturizes, and SPF protection?!? It has it all! It deserves its huge following. There has never been anything so comprehensive for my skin. Best tinted moisturizer on the market! When I start to run low I feel a panic attack on its way!

Smashbox Socialite Lipstick from the Decadence Collection The perfect nude with a gloss and mirror in the cap. When I think of it being limited edition I want to cry. Hear Ye Hear Ye Smashbox! Keep it Year Round!

Laura Gellar Liquid Candlelight This product is like the perfect evening bag or perfect pair of heels. Once you try it you're not going to know how you ever lived without the extra va-va-voom! It is the perfect seductive glow!

Kerastase Ciment Thermique Lets just say I would have been bald if they didn't send this amazing treatment my way! If you have color damaged hair don't hesitate to pick this up-you will not be sorry!

Cat Cosmetics Skin Double For nightime or break-out days I always reach for his with my foundation brush. It gives me a flawless finish and perfect coverage for zits or discoloration.

Epione Restorative Firm and Fade Creme HOM is going to be so mad when he sees this on my list. It is not cheap but as long as Dr. Simon keeps the 50% off deal up for us a Megs I'll still be buying. It's healing and the only creme I've ever found to rid my mystery reacurring face rash overnight. Miraculous stuff!

Ladies, what do you think of my faves? Anything you're shocked to see left off list? Keep in mind this was only for 2007 reviewed products!

Oh Ed, I mean Meg, I love this picture. You really do look like a fat and cranky 70-year-old man! Agree with many of your picks too - especially Disguise For Eyes, The Balm Shelter and the Nailtini in Amaretto Fizz - can’t wait to review that one.

Oh Meg you were darling, yes a very strong resemblance to Ed, but darling! All my babies have been very rolly polly and I love it! People used to stop me while pushing my stroller with little Amanda while living in NYC because her thighs were so huge! They simply couldn't believe it, and always wanted to touch and squeeze them. Great list and that Epione Firm and Fade is calling to me. Agh, I am with you meangirl26!

Happy New Year All! Meg, I don't remember seeing this picture. I love it! Its so adorable! And, Greenie is so right -fat babies are the best (I'm also a mom of giant, chubby baby). I, too, can't picture mine thinning out! I like your picks Meg, but I must say I'm especially facinated with the UD Eyeshadow Transformation Potion. For someonewho just can't get eyeliner right, could this be the answer? I'll add it to my wishlist (which, thanks to Megs, isas big as my baby, maybe bigger!).

Meg count yourself lucky. I always wanted fat little chubby babies. Mine were both small little ones...around 5 lbs each. My doctor said I just couldn't make big babies. Now on to makeup...I absolutely love the Balmshelter Tinted Moisturizer. It replaces my foundation more and more. I've been dying to try the Nailtini polish and I've been looking for the Nad's facial wand and just can't find it. I find all the other Nad's products, but not the wand. Does anyone know who carries it? Thanks for all the great recommendations ladies. I just got back in town and got caught up reading all the great top 10 list. Now my shopping list is even longer!!! I can't wait to try all these items out.

Oh Meg that pic brings back memories, but I do have to say having known you-you were a cute baby. Yes, lacking in the hair department for several years but still very cute. You had a great disposition and I remember you had a great belly laugh..Do you still? lol anyway thanks for the memories. OH yeah, I have to say Cat Cosmetics get a a#1 vote for 2007 for me-can't wait to see what 2008 has to offer! Happy New Year

Oh, that photo is just too funny! I laugh everytime I even think about it. And now I'm thinking about Ed Asner in a dress and laughing too. I'm glad the Smashbox lipstick you begged me for is on your list (I had picked it first). I'm glad it got a deserving home!

Meg, you are SOOOOOOOOOOO cute in that pic! Fat babies are the best. I might think that since I have one of the biggest babies since Meg was born, but they are just so much more sqeezable!! I want to pinch those cheecks!!I too LOVE the Nailtini, it rocks!! Stays on for so long and that color Amaretto Fizz is awesome! And the Epione restorative firm andf fade creme, OHHH I can't say enough about that stuff! I swear the lines on my eyes and forehead, have gotten SMALLER since using this, I am already in waking up in a cold sweat at night thinking that I am going to run out soon. I now use it everynight, since it is helping so much. And a little of this magic potion goes a long way too!Cat cosmetics skin double is another fabulous one! I use this when I want really good coverage. Its awesome! Great for picture taking.Well, I am noting megs pics, I really need to try that Balm shelter that everyone raves about!HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my beauty friends!!

you were CUTE! And aren't babies supposed to be chubby when they're little?I mean, imagine a skinny baby.no. that's just not something that would be normal.But I totally know what you mean about being ridiculed about your body for years.It really does make me wonder how I can become more beautiful... or how I can become skinnier and have a nice body.All in all, it comes to the question, what can beautify me? : )But since these days there are a lot of products that can help one to become beautiful, there's nothing to worry about.Plus, I believe that everybody is beautiful in there own ways : )

I just have to say that I wish I had that may beauty products coming in (although my fiance would probably faint...he thinks I have too much as it is). Since it is now July 2010, I will have to start thinking about my favorites for this year. I don't exactly have a place to list those favorites, but it should be a fun project.

Love this. Your list of favorites is spot-on, and that baby picture is the most adorable thing. Baby pictures are great because we don't have any inhibition at that age, do we?!
