In honour of our big Pure+Simple Beauty Contest over at Cheaty Goodies, I thought this week’s Thursday Thirteen should be a list of CELEBRITY BEAUTY SECRETS, which are ALWAYS a treat! Some of them are totally great! And, others I wouldn’t try at home, if I were you…. Okay, let’s get this pawdy stawded. CHECK IT!!!
1. CINDY CRAWFORD uses milk and water to keep her face moisturized throughout the day. She’s been known to mix leftover milk from her kids’ bottles with equal parts mineral water and applies it to her face with a spray bottle!

2. CATHERINE ZETA-JONES stands beside old man Michael Douglas DAILY to make herself look younger brushes her teeth with pureed strawberries to whiten them! She also uses castor oil to make her hair SHINE.

3. GWEN STEFANI applies blue lip gloss over her famous red lipstick to bring out the pearly whites.

4. JULIA ROBERTS soaks her hands in olive oil to soften the skin and condition the nails.

5. TERI HATCHER bathes in red wine to keep her skin beautiful. Apparently, the “resveratrol” in grapes has antibiotic properties that protect the vines from fungus. As for human skin, resveratrol firms up the skin’s surface and improves elasticity. Sweeeet! It also rejuvenates the skin and keeps it looking young by stimulating cell multiplication. Double sweeeeet!

6. DAISY FUENTES drinks one litre of chamomile tea (blech!) and one litre of water DAILY to accelerate fat burning.

7. JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT zaps zits with a dab of toothpaste overnight.

8. MICHELLE YEOH (from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) cleanses her face with lemon juice and water — lemon juice apparently removes dirt and makes skin less oily.

9. SUSAN LUCCI snacks on omega-3-rich sardines (eww) to keep her skin smoooooth. (And, shhhh, I have a little secret to tell Ms. Lucci: LET GO OF THAT HAIRSTYLE ALREADY. LET IT GO…!)

10. DEMI MOORE — are you ready for this? — LEECHES! She uses leech therapy to stay gorj!

11. SARAH JESSICA PARKER uses those disposable wax toilet seat covers to blot her nose! She claims they’re great because they don’t remove the make up, they just remove the shine!

12. ANGELINA JOLIE adds volume to her hair by applying baby powder, from the roots to the ends, and then blow drying it in.

13. TYRA BANKS beats cellulite with a ground-up-coffee-bean scrub.

Hey, I have done the toothpaste thing! It actually works!
Renee said on June 12th, 2008 at 2:35 am
hummm not sure it’s worth it. I don’t mind growing old gracefully.
I’m planning to do that “sliding into my grave yelling ‘WHAT A RIDE!’” thing I’ve heard about.

Haley-O, loved this new look.
I know the milk thing works, but when one is so busy, there’s not time to try out beauty things.
I really like this T13.

Can’t comment right now, taking that wine bath. I’m hoping white wine does the trick too.

hahah the wine bath: would that work internally as well? Like drinking loads of red wine :p.
I don’t mind drinking chamomile tea now and then. It’s calming when I’m stressed. But a liter? gosh then I have to pee way too much!
I do like to snack fatty fishes like sardines and herring myself, so doing good on the omega 3 lately. Yeaah.
Steph said on June 12th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Like Angelina ever washes and blow dries her own hair! Ha!
ali said on June 12th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Angelina’s hair looks like crap in that photo. i hope that’s not the result of her baby powder trick!! ahhaha!

Funny! I’ve heard about the coffee grinds and cellulite tip before…doubt it works, nothing but hard work (and sometimes not even then) works on the devils dimples.

WeightingGame said on June 12th, 2008 at 9:36 am
love the bathing in wine idea. That sounds SO practical! And I’m sure nothing gets stained in the process.
Spraying milk on my face reminds me of something I’d see in a porn. No thank you.

I use clear packing tape to lift the dead skin from my face and make it velvety smooth, plus I then get the benefit of lQQking at ALL my dead skin that is now on the tape…ewh but cool nontheless
LAVENDULA said on June 12th, 2008 at 10:04 am
maybe teri hatcher is the reincarnation of erzsebet (elizabeth) bathory who used to bathe in virgins blood to stay young.guess that wouldn’t go over so well these days.hence the red wine replacement…ewww leeches?WTF?
chelle said on June 12th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
I am not sure it would be safe for me to bath in wine …

Lindz said on June 12th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Completely guilty of the baby powder one. It really works, especially if you didn’t have time to wash your hair one day. As for the leeches and other weird things like pureed strawberries, how in the eff and what in the eff would make you think to do that? I would think strawberries would have the opposite effect.

Bubba said on June 12th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Yanno, I read all of those beauty tips. I don’t think they’ll work for me, though…I think the good Lord just wanted me to be hairy and ugly.
But an entertaining list anyhoo! Happy TT!
