Check out Salma Hayek’s new cosmetics line!

Salma Hayek debuted her 100-piece Nuance cosmetics line for CVS on Thursday, Women’s Wear Daily reports.

The actress quickly dispelled any sentiments that this would be another celeb-dabbles-in-beauty disaster, explaining to the fashion newspaper, “I took three years off my [acting] career to work on this. This is not something that required 14 hours. Nooo, baby. This has been a full-time job.”

She added that she, herself, attended appointments with labs and suppliers “who didn’t mind some crazy Mexican coming to them over and over and over again asking them to change something,” noting, “I am not easy…I mean, I am a double Virgo.”

The line was inspired by her grandmother, a cosmetologist who learned from the greats at Vichy in Paris and used Native American and Mayan treatments in her products. It’s all slated to hit shelves come August, priced between $7.99 and $19.99.

I really love…. Lancome’s Teint Idole Ultra

Lancome’s awesome Teint Idole Ultra is a 14-hour ultra-resistant makeup that delivers flawless, full-coverage that lasts. The retouch-free, oil-free formula features Lancôme’s SoftFeel™ technology glides on to comfort skin with flawless full coverage. Divine comfort leaves skin feeling soft, comfortable and silky-smooth hour after hour.

I have never worn foundation, I think 99% of the time it feels heavy, cakey, and looks terrible. My belief: if you can tell someone’s wearing foundation, they’re wearing terrible foundation. I think you should have a foundation that feels smooth, non-greasy, and to anyone elses eyes, they would never know you were wearing it! I hate that cakey-foundation look. I just think it looks awful.

I absolutely love this foundation.

As I’m getting older, however, I’m getting sun-spots, and other blemishes that I’d rather cover up on my face. I went into Sephora, and told the lady what I was looking for – and she directed me towards this awesome product. It’s spendy – at $42 a bottle – I could see that turning someone off. BUT – here’s the thing… you only need 1 PUMP to cover your face! I use one pump when I wear it, and it will do the job! 1 pump! That’s impressive! It’s gonna last me forever!

I love how easily it goes on, how long it lasts, how it smooths on, and dries smooth, and you can’t even tell I’m wearing it!
