Beautiful actress, Kristin Bell, has just inked a coveted deal with Neutrogena.

“I am really excited to be the new face of Neutrogena Naturals because I trust [the brand] so much already,” Bell tells PEOPLE of the line that she will represent, which contains no contain dyes, chemical sulfates, parabens or petrochemicals. “I strive to live a healthy lifestyle, and…to be able to represent a line that I actually use and like to incorporate into my daily routine is ideal,” she explains.

Can’t wait to get glowing skin like Kristen? No worries. Her facial cleansers, facial scrub, bar soap and lip balms are already rolling into stores across America.

So what do you think of Neutrogena’s newest face?

Kellie Pickler recently shared her favorite beauty, hair and skincare products with Sophisticates Hairstyle Guide. Keep reading to find out what products she can’t live without.

On her skincare routine:

“I use Neutrogena face wash, but the key thing is moisturizer. I use Creme de la Mer. It’s expensive, but it’s the best moisturizer ever – you definitely get your money’s worth.”

On her favorite beauty products:

“I love Mascara – I have to have it. I have tried every mascara and am sold on L’Oreal Featherlash.”

“If I’m in WalMart, I have to buy some lipgloss. I love the Bonne Bell Lipsmackers lipgloss in Strawberry.”

On her favorite haircare products:

“I’ve been using Sexy Hair products for a couple years and I’m thrilled to be working with them. Katharine McPhee first introduced me to them. I love the volumizing sprays; they really hold your hair in place. And Play Dirty is amazing! I just spray it on and mess me hair up a little bit with my hands.”

Are you looking for a product that multitasks? Would you like to fight aging and block harmful rays at the same time? If you answered yes then keep reading.

I was in need of a new moisturizer and I prefer mine to have SPF so while I was browsing CVS recently I came across this product called Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Moisturizing Treatment with SPF 20. It sounded wonderful so I decided to go ahead and purchase it.

What they say about it:

Deep wrinkle moisturizing treatment. A concentrated Retinol treatment with Hyaluronic Acid & Helioplex. The moisturizing formula, infused with concentrated Retinol plus Hyaluronic Acid, helps accelerate surface cell turnover pushing newer younger cells to the surface. In just 2 weeks, see even the deepest wrinkles start to fill in and smooth out. Concentrated Retinol helps provide a powerful advantage against deep wrinkles and advanced signs of photo-damage. Hyaluronic Acid helps replenish skin with line plumping moisture, rejuvenating skin to look younger and healthier. Helioplex stabilized broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen technology provides superior anti-aging protection to help prevent deep wrinkles caused by everyday exposure to the sun’s damaging rays. Formula clinically proven to: soften and smooth skin. Reduce appearance of fine lines & wrinkles.

Our thoughts:

I really like this product. It blocks harmful rays and moisturizes my skin both while fighting aging. What more could you ask for? I do have to say that I don’t have any wrinkles so I don’t know how well it would work on those. I do have some fine lines around my eyes which seem to be getting better with the use of this product and Philosophy’s Help Me (which I use at night).

Have you tried this product? What were your thoughts?

There are several drugstore winners in there. Have you tried any of these products? Would you consider them a “winner”? Would love to hear your thoughts.

This is a tag from Kate E. She emailed and asked if I would do a list of six products I can’t live without. The rules say that one product has to be hair care, one skincare, and one make up item….the other 3 products can be anything I want. This was a lot harder than I imagined, but here goes.

1. (Skin)Philosophy Purity Made Simple

This is the best face wash hands down in my opinion. It’s gentle, natural, and effective. I’ve had a lot of people mention how expensive it is, but I buy the 24 oz size from Sephora which costs around $40.00 and it lasts me an entire year so it’s really not that expensive at all.

2. (Hair)Jonathan Shampoo Serious Volume Volumizing Shampoo

I love love love love this shampoo. It makes my hair so healthy and voluminous. It’s also sulfate free and vegan. I love vegan/natural products so I was very excited when I found this one.

3. (Makeup) Bare Minerals Foundation

I started using this product around 2005 and have tried numerous foundations since then, but I always go back to this one. It’s easy to apply and leaves your skin looking amazing.

4. (Skin) Philosophy Help Me Retinol

This product has changed my skin dramatically. Help Me goes to work on your fine lines and clogged pores. I can’t believe the results I’ve seen with this product in such a short time.

5. (Makeup) Urban Decay Primer Potion

This is a totally nude eye base that glides on your skin and then disappears instantly. It’s the ultimate eye prep for smoother, longer-lasting, crease-proof eyeshadow. It’s so amazing I don’t go a single day without it.

6. (Skincare) Neutrogena Age Shield SPF 90 Face Sunblock with Helioplex

This product brings you protection against both UVA/UVB rays. The lightweight lotion absorbs quickly into skin for a fresh, non-greasy feel. We’ve got to prevent aging as much as we can. I hear girls all the time talking about reversing the signs of aging with plastic surgery, but my philosophy is I’d rather prevent it than reverse it.

That’s it my six products I can’t live without. What products made your list? I’d love to hear them. Have a great weekend ladies.

Has the terrible economy got you down? Are you trying to save some money, but still wanna look fabulous?

If you’re looking for some suggestions for great drugstore finds search no further. Some of Hollywood’s leading ladies recently shared their favorite beauty products for $8.00 or less with Fitness magazine.

Leighton Meester is a fan of Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets.

Tyra Banks loves Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. She loves it so much in fact she once gave her audience a bejeweled jar of it.

Becki Newton’s stylist uses Garnier Fructis Style Brilliantine Shine Glossing Spray.

Isla Fisher’s eye lashes were defined with Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in Confessions of a Shopaholic.

What’s your favorite product under $8.00?

It’s summertime which means it’s time to bring out the shorts and swimsuits! I thought I was ready but while I was out shopping recently I caught a glance of my SUPER PALE self in the mirror and couldn’t believe I was out in public blinding everyone with my paleness. Needless to say I stopped by Target on the way home and picked up Neutrogena Sun Fresh Sunless Lotion.

What they say:

Neutrogena Sun Fresh Sunless Lotion gives you a beautiful, flawless finish. Neutrogena sun fresh sunless lotion for a fresh, new approach to a natural looking tan. This sunless lotion features an ultra light formula that infuses skin with sheer, natural looking color, then seals it in with skin silkening hydration. Guaranteed to absorb smoothly and evenly for color that is naturally radiant and never fake or flat.

Our thoughts:

I’ve been using this product for about a week now and really like it. It has a very light grapefruit – orangish scent which is actually very pleasant, and the lotion absorbs quickly. I tried the shade light- medium and didn’t notice a huge color payoff but I was very pale to begin with so that could be the problem. I think I’ll try the darkest shade next time but other than that I would recommend this product.
