I love my celebrity news and part of that is getting the inside scoop on their fashion and beauty secrets! I am always storing little ideas in my head and thought I’d share some of them with you today. We’re talking everything from mayonnaise, cranberry juice, coffee granules and one I don’t recommend – leeches. Gorgeous celebs including Miranda Kerr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Longoria, Julia Roberts and Mariah Carery have all shared their unique beauty tips and tricks.
The best part is, these all use common things we would probably have at home… so head to your fridge and get glam!
MIRANDA KERR:
The gorgeous Victoria’s Secret model uses lip balm as a shimmer highlighter on her eyes, which gives a naturally radiant ‘lit from within’ bright eyed look.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON:
When breakouts occur, the actress reaches for apple cider vinegar, explaining it is an effective treatment for breakouts and skin healing.
ZOE SALDANA:
Zoe credits her beautiful shiny hair to mayonnaise. Growing up, her mother and sisters would all use mayonnaise and to this day, still do!
MARIAH CAREY:
For plump lips, the singer adds a few drops of peppermint oil to her lip balm or gloss. It’s said to increase blood flow and as a result, lips swell.
KATE HUDSON:
For a super fresh and healthy glow, the actress puts her face in an ice bath to create a radiant complexion.
HALLE BERRY:
To banish cellulite, Halle places ground coffee in her shower gel. Caffeine is said to increase blood flow and the coffee granules mildly exfoliate skin.
NICOLE KIDMAN:
The naturally red headed actress adds shine and vibrancy to her hair by pouring a cup of cranberry juice over it after shampooing. The juice is said to enhance color and seal the cuticle.
GWYNETH PALTROW:
For fabulous hair like Gwyn, use a loofah instead of a hair brush or comb when boosting volume and adding texture. This will give you sleek and shiny hair with less frizz!
JULIA ROBERTS:
The actress keeps her hands in top condition by soaking them in olive oil. This is said to soften the skin and improve the condition of nails and cuticles.
EVA LONGORIA:
Ever youthful and glamorous, the beautiful Eva adores using skin creams that contain placenta – which is believed to boost collagen production and moisture levels.
And one I certainly do not suggest…
In 2008, Demi Moore admitted using ‘leech therapy’ to detox her blood. Gosh, can you imagine?! Only in Hollywood!
Do you have any unconventional beauty tips or tricks? Please share in the comments below, I’d love to hear about them! Which celeb tip is your favorite? I think Zoe’s hair is beyond shiny, so I might just have to try the mayonnaise…

All the techniques seem pretty Fabulous, except for.. well yea lol! The Halle Berry and Kate Hudson ones seem pretty interesting. Maybe I’ll try one.. one day! 🙂
It’s been years, but I did actually try mayonnaise on my hair once. I might need to give it another try!
They all sound interesting. Wonder if Julia’s really works may have to try it

Hmm I might try the loofah trick with my hair. The mayonnaise idea is intriguing but I don’t think I could handle it, haha. Great post Lauren 🙂
I’ve never heard of the cranberry trick. I’m a redhead too. Might have to try it!
Thanks Lauren! I love celebrate beauty secrets. My favorite to try would be the lip balm idea by Miranda and coffee granules by Halle. 🙂 Great tips! Hmmm….I have deep set eyes so to make them pop I often put a light shimmer (gold works well with browns) right above my pupils. It really highlights my green/ hazel eyes.

I think I will have to try mayonnaise, too!
Those are some cool tips! Will definitely try the loofa trick 🙂 Just looked up leech therapy, so creepy 🙁
Zoe’s tip seems pretty reasonable and wow does she ever have beautiful hair. I’m pretty sure she’s wearing a weave though…. what do you think? I’ve heard of oil for softening skin/cuticles (olive and coconut oils seem to be the most commonly suggested) and caffeine for combatting cellulite but haven’t had a chance to try it myself.

Wow! Some of these are definitely interesting! I think the one that sounds most intriguing is adding coffee grounds to body wash. Plus I like the smell of coffee, so bonus!
