Kate Middleton's Beauty Secrets

It should probably be said that I absolutely adore Princess Kate Middleton. I do. I have a printed picture of her on the side of my computer at the office. I got up at 3 am to watch the royal wedding. I buy any magazine with her face on the cover. And I am, of course, quite curious about her beauty routine! So, when you've got photographers watching your every move, how do you stay flawless?! Here are some princess-tested, media approved secrets. (And a few articles for your reading pleasure, to boot!)

Karin Herzog Skin Care Products

Ever a woman of the people, Kate is reported to be a Karin Herzog devotee. Now, there is a fairly nice price tag to this line, but it's not the most expensive line out there, so I'm impressed that Kate is using a good line that (for someone who just inherited a comfy $10 million) is actually quite mid-range in price.

Products to try? Oxygen Face Cream (only $44) and Essential Mask ($50)

Kerastase Hair Products

If you tell me you don't envy Kate Middleton's gorgeous hair, you're lying. Perhaps the most famous head of hair on the planet, Kate often wears her hair long and flowing. Now, she also pays good money for blow outs up to 4 times a week, not including special occasions (isn't every day a special occasion when you're Kate Middleton!?) which most of us common folk can't afford. However, to keep her hair in tip top shape on her own, she's rumored to use Kerastase Hair Products, which are pretty easy to find right here in the US of A! Visit their website, linked above, and shop by your hair concerns- dry, oily, color-treated, etc.

Bobbi Brown 

A popular make up line on both sides of the pond, Kate reportedly stocks up on her basics at cult-favorite Bobbi Brown. Stateside, you can find Bobbi Brown in most high-end department stores. I've been a long-time fan on the line and used their make up products on my wedding day, as well!

Products to try? Creamy Concealer Kit ($32) and a Shimmer Brick ($39) (mine's in Rose, but Bronze would do well for summer time!)

And, if you're like me, and you just can't get enough Princess Kate, here are a few articles all about her beauty secrets to help distract you during your workday! Enjoy!
