Salma Hayek: Beauty Business Underestimates Me

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,

Salma Hayek believes people often "underestimate" her in the beauty business because of her acting background.

Despite having released her own line of skincare products called Nuance Salma Hayek, and having co-founded popular juice cleanse company Cooler Cleanse, the 45-year-old mother-of-one still feels that people don't always take her seriously.

"Because I have a background in a different field, it can be hard to negotiate and make a good deal for myself. People always underestimate me. But if you stick around long enough, act out of conviction, and try to be honorable in everything you do, good things will come to you. I have seen karma work in this business," she said.

Nuance features 100 different products from cleansers and spot treatments, through to anti-aging creams and cosmetics, and as the granddaughter of a Paris-trained cosmetologist, Salma worked on each item from start to finish: "I don't know that many people in my position who would actually put that much time into it. It's a lot easier to get a contract or say that you are doing the work when it's really someone else. I don't think my own agency - or even I - knew how stubborn I was going to be."

Salma Hayek Dresses for Husband

Salma Hayek likes to dress up for her husband. The Grown Ups star - who married French billionaire François-Henri Pinault in 2009 - enjoys trying out new looks in a bid to catch her other half's eye.

"If you're in love with someone, you always want to conquer them anew. Even if we don't go out, I like to look nice for him. He inspires me. There are men who don't notice what you're wearing, and that's cool. But when you make an effort, François appreciates it so much," she said.

The couple now live in Paris with their four-year-old daughter Valentina, although Salma admits she is regularly blown away by the standards of style on the French capital.

"It's nuts, how good the people look. Nobody's overweight, everybody's well dressed, no tennis shoes - somehow, even though they walk all over the place, everyone manages to wear real shoes, nice shoes," she told Lucky magazine.

A-Listers Donate Designer Dresses For Haiti

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

When in Cannes, donate to a good cause! Penelope Cruz and other Hollywood celebs helped raised $333,000 for Haiti by selling their designer dresses this past week.

The 35-year-old beauty and jewelery maker Chopard raised the sum by organizing an auction for the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization at the Cannes Film Festival. Donators to the auction included Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Gisele Bundchen, Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek - who raised $21,000 alone for her burgundy Gucci gown, the first from the Italian brand’s new couture range.

An original sketch for the gown by Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini was also sold alongside the creation. Other celebrities who gave outfits included Naomi Watts, Diane Kruger, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The Jenkins-Penn charity was created by Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn as a response to help the Caribbean nation in its recovery from twos earthquake in January this year. Around 230,000 people were killed and around 1 million made homeless as a result of the quakes.
