Salma Hayek - From Desperado to new Nuances

I remember the first movie I saw where Salma Hayek really made an impression - it was the romantic comedy Fools Rush In that came out when I was a teenager. Hayek was a fiery and sassy photographer who learned how much just one night with the right guy can turn your life upside down. Her beauty and ease in her own skin made an impression on me, and she became an actress I followed over the years. She's probably the only reason I saw the movie Wild Wild West. But her dance in From Dusk til Dawn redeemed her.

So when a beautiful decided to take on the world of beauty - and create a line to be sold in drugstores, rather than a high-end department store - I got very excited. I read several bloggers' previews and reviews of the Nuance line and had several moments of "I HAVE to buy that!" From funky shaped eyes quads to the cheek trios to the skin and hair care items, I kept waiting for that magic combination of release date and payday to hit my local CVS and make my own assessment.
