Last week I had an amazing opportunity to meet Salma Hayek during lunch in New York City at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and chat all about her new superstar cosmetics line for CVS Pharmacy: Nuance Salma Hayek.

Although Salma Hayek admitted to being tired & jet-lagged she looked absolutely beautiful at lunch. At age 45 Salma is truly one of the best looking natural beauties I’ve seen.

It’s not easy to come up with one good product not alone a whole cohesive cosmetics line. I’m glad to see that Hayek is using her uber celebrity power to create products that actually work and mean a lot to her as oppose to just put her name on anything like some other celebs do (and I’m not naming any names).

Nuance is worthy of some of the fanciest store shelves but Salma has chosen CVS Pharmacy and we couldn’t be so lucky. Her cosmetics line is the best thing that happened to a drugstore. Maybe it’s a new era, affordable quality cosmetics within our reach.

I was fast to learn that Salma Hayek just like me is a true beauty junkie. She wasn’t afraid to demonstrate her products.

I’ve been trying Nuance Salma Hayek for CVS and these are my favorite products so far:

Nuance Salma Hayek Raw Honey Color Protect Conditioner & shampoo

Nuance Salma Hayek Wild Lime Exfoliating Facial Gel

Nuance Salma Hayek Cucumber & Rosewater Dual Phase Makeup Remover

Nuance Salma Hayek Detoxifying Facial Cleansing & Toning Towelettes

Nuance Salma Hayek Jojoba Dual Phase Body Oil

Nuance Salma Hayek Dark Cacao & Coffee Firming Body Cream

Nuance Salma Hayek Walnut Body Scrub

Nuance Salma Hayek My Secret Super Moisturizing Body Cream

Salma Hayek demonstrating the very fabulous and my favortie also the Nuance Salma Hayek Oxygen Activated Foaming Face Wash. She thought this face wash lathers so well men can shve with it.

The Lotus room at the Mandarin Oriental hotel is ready for lunch with Salma Hayek.

Another one of my favorite Nuance Salma Hayek Flawless Wear Tinted Moisturizer in Medium which is also Salma Hayek’s shade.

As soon as my cab arrived the city aka New York City I see CVS Pharmacy looking so vibrant.

Kate Moss sits down with Women’s Wear Daily’s Brid Costello to discuss her new scent Vintage, which was introduced in Europe earlier this month. Stephen Mormoris, svp of global marketing at Coty said they may look into having Moss create a special color cosmetics collections for its Rimmel brand, which Moss also fronts. On the fragrance’s genesis – her love for vintage fashion – has much more humble origins. “I couldn’t really afford designer clothes when I was young, so I just went to the secondhand shops. It wasn’t called vintage then, It was called ‘secondhand’ when I was 15.” She also opens up about how she relaxes, her inspirations and how to multitask.

On defining beauty: “it sounds really corny, but I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. You can be a pretty face, but if your not a nice person it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right. If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.”

On if she has a motto: “There are loads. There’s “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works.”

On the secrets to multitasking: “I think women are really good at multitasking. Men just cannot do it. My boyfriend cannot talk on the phone and [answer] if I ask him a question or get dressed at the same time. I can do all of that – talk on the phone, answer a question, get dressed and put my makeup on all at the same time. Women just do, don’t they? I think it’s something to do with babies. When you have a child, you have to be able to multi task.
