Best,

What does Kate Winslet consider her must have beauty products?

They are:

Lipmann Collection Nail Lacquer in Prelude to a Kiss

“This shade is fresh and clean. Not overdone.”

Lancome Tresor

“When Lancome asked me to be the spokeswoman, it was ironic because this was the first fragrance I ever wore.”

Jillian Dempsey Eye Shadow Trio in Pebble Wash

“These colors look natural on me.”

Lancome Le Crayon in Caramel

“I toss this in my bag and just smudge it on my lips when I need a little color.”

Kerastase Volumactive Mousse

It’s nice and airy and doesn’t weigh down my hair.”

Does it bother you when celebrities have favorites and they happen to be from a company they are spokesperson for?

“I wear these inspirational bracelets all the time”

Katy Perry One of The Boys

The InStyle 145 Best Beauty Buys Issue is out now. I picked up a copy last night because it’s always a great read for all of us beauty addicts out there. I won’t give away all 145 winners but thought I’d share a few picks with you so here they are….

Best Mineral Foundation:

Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals SPF 15

Our opinion:

You can’t go wrong with Bare Minerals!

Best Undereye Concealer:

Cle de Peau Correcteur Visage

Best Powder Blush:

Nars

Best Inexpensive Eyeshadow:

Loreal Hip

Our opinion:

Loreal Hip is wonderful and very similar to Mac but I’ve never noticed it was all that “inexpensive”. I would say the best inexpensive eyeshadow would have to be Milani.

Best Shampoo and Conditioner:

Kerastase

Best Self Tanner for Body:

St. Tropez Auto Bronzant Lotion

So there you have it some of the best according to InStyle magazine. What do you agree with? What do you disagree with? To see the rest of the list pick up a copy of InStyle magazine on newsstands now.

Model, Liya Kebede, has said that she loves Kerastase Bain Satin Shampoo and Nutridefense Conditioner. She recently told Allure magazine:

“I love to use this line throughout the fall and winter to keep my hair shiny and feeling soft”.

What other products does Liya love? Yves Saint Laurent La Laque Long Lasting Nail Lacquer in Black Tulip and Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Eclair.

Have you used any of these products? What did you think of them?

High School Musical’s Ashley Tisdale loves Kerastase Oleo Relax. She has said that she uses it right after she gets out of the shower. It really helps her tame her thick and curly hair. You can purchase Kerastase Oleo Relax at Kerastase-Usa.com for $34.00.
