Many of us... No. Some... No... I have an unhealthy obsession with celebrities. I want to wake up in the morning and see Adriana Lima in the mirror. Fat chance, I know! I want shiny voluminous hair, blemish-free skin, bag-less eyes, and cellulite-free thighs like Jessica Alba. I want to approach my 40s with the the same grace and beauty as Jennifer Aniston. Unhealthy and unrealistic, to say the least, but something tells me I’m not the only one.

 

Truth is, we all admire celebrities, but we’re also aware of the miracle recipes for these gorgeous, photograph-ready stars. The miracle recipes I am referring to are Photoshop and airbrushing. When we take these two ingredients out of the equation, we have regular people with similar imperfections, like cellulitic thighs. The difference is, these celebs know all the beauty secrets to present the best possible version of themselves. No wonder they have beauty products they can’t live without! Here is the inside scoop on celebs must-have items:  

 

Boots’ Botanics -- If you want smooth, buttery skin like Gwyneth Paltrow, then check out the Boots’ Botanics organic line, available at Target.
