Salma Hayak to sell Nuance skincare range at CVS

Salma Hayek has teamed up with CVS to sell Nuance, her line of beauty products for hair, face and body from Mexican-derived ingredients.

The 44-year-old Mexican actress has developed the skincare range to "enhance the nuances that define every woman's individual beauty".

"I wanted to create a line of premium beauty products that were both effective and affordable using the ingredients and knowledge passed down to me from my grandmother," the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

"My partnership with CVS/pharmacy allowed me to be truly involved in every aspect of product development, bringing my vision to life in making a line that is available to all women...," she added.

The line which is set to be available later this month have been inspired by Hayak's grandmother's youthful skin, which are formulated with fruit extracts and essential oils to tackle concerns like aging, loss of hydration, uneven skin tone and texture.

Salma Hayek's hubby has a love child!

Not only did he start dating the gorgeous actress (now his wife) Salma Hayek and impregnate her, he also had a dalliance with former supermodel Linda Evangelista that led to her getting pregnant too!

Talk about flying sper....err...spurs! As a result, the two beautiful women both have four-year-olds by the French luxury goods brand owner, conceived just months apart from each other. Hollywood rumour mills have gone into overdrive over the news that Pinault is the father of Evangelista's love child (she's never revealed the name of her son Augustin James Evangelista's father) after she was spotted in a New York court arguing over a child support agreement she made with Pinault.

According to the court's public records, there are ongoing proceedings between the two of them. There have always been rumours of Pinault being the father of the 46-year-old model's son, but she has consistently denied it. Now, with the Manhattan Family Court's records becoming public, the paternity is pretty much confirmed.

According to Evangelista and Hayek's pregnancy timelines, Evangelista conceived their baby boy in early 2006, during the time he was reportedly separated from then-girlfriend Hayek. Hayek, 44, became pregnant in late 2006, giving birth to Valentina Paloma Pinault in September 2007. Whether Hayek knew about Pinault's pregnancy is not known.

Salma Hayek's first beauty line 'set to make USD 35m in first-year'

Mexican actress, director and producer Salma Hayek's first beauty line, which is set to launch at 7,000 CVS Pharmacy stores nationwide from August, is expected to make 35million dollars in its first year alone.

The star has taken the past three years off from acting to focus on the development the100-product range of cosmetics, called Nuance Salma Hayek.

The range, which comprises everything from make-up to anti-ageing skincare, also includes some rather less predictable products, such as a Correcting Spot Treatment 10perdent Sulfur Acne Treatment.

But though the range will have a budget price point (from 7.99 dollars-19.99 dollars) the formulations, the 'Frida' star said, will rival anything at the top of the market.

"It is possible to create extraordinary product for a low price. Everyone should have the right product at the right price," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying at an event to launch the line Thursday.

"A lot of products don't even cost a lot to make. I wanted to make simply the best product and give everyone access to the good stuff," she said.

The mother-of-one, who is married to PPR boss Francois-Henri Pinault, said that her grandmother, a cosmetologist who was an advocate of Native American and Mayan formulations, inspired the line.
