Recession Proof Makeup a la Salma Hayek

March 19th, 2009 by sarah

Salma Hayek is the latest celebrity to launch her own cosmetic line, but you won’t be seeing it in any fancy department stores…Salma’s line will be sold exclusively in drugstores!

For the last three years, Salma has been researching for her line, that will provide affordable anti-aging products.  The line is inspired by her grandmother, Maria Luisa, who was a cosmetologist and at 96, died without any wrinkles (if only!).  Her grandmother will also be the company’s namesake.

Salma was quoted saying, “I’m trying to develop a line with a drugstore so that it is affordable for everyone. We’ve researched for two to three years. My grandmother was a cosmetologist and she used to make her own creams, but my whole approach is how can we get the essence of the really expensive ones, but for everyone to be able to afford.”

Hopefully Salma has some tricks up her sleeve, because at 40 she looks amazing and I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on that family secret!

About Cupcakes Taste Nice

My lust for beauty products has been around since I was a kid. I always wanted the most eye catching packaging and the sweetest scents. As a preteen I could not wait to get my first pimple so that I could try out the different acne products that were marketed to me in magazines and on TV. As I got older I just loved the girlie side of wanting to look and feel pretty. I love taking a shower on Saturday morning and having a plethora of products to choose from depending on my mood that day. I anticipate my beauty and style magazines coming in the mail so I can read and research new products. I even spend hours on the internet searching for factual reviews of the latest and greatest products.
