We see Cate Blanchett most of the time as a great actress with an equally great complexion. I’ve always wanted to rip off her creamy yet translucent skin and wear it around myself. If only that would be possible. I mean, she’s always stunning anywhere she goes, including red carpets. No matter what she wears, her skin is always her greatest accessory. Except of course for the emerald green baubles she wore at the Oscars this year. I sooo love the teardrop earrings by Lorraine Schwartz and I have something as fabulous and as elegant which I picked up for only $59.95. Okay, so let’s go back to Cate. I wasn’t that hot for the matching necklace, though. Of course I’d take it if she’d hand it over to me but I’ll flat-out reject that dull Dries Van Noten satin gown. Uh, and maybe the baby bump. I’m not quite in that place just yet.

Moving on, we’ve seen Cate Blanchett as convincingly blue-blooded and regal when she played Queen Elizabeth. We’ve also seen her transform into a wild-haired man on that critically-acclaimed Bob Dylan documentary, I’m Not There. But what we haven’t seen is how she takes on the face of Hannibal Lecter right inside her own home, while making sandwiches for her kids. Ok, ok. I’m being a bit melodramatic here. This is actually how Cate gets her youthful looks and porcelain-like skin. It’s the cream she applies made with the Japanese drink, sake. It’s actually manufactured by Procter & Gamble and called the SK-II. She’s been reportedly using the product line for 7 years now. Is that so? I’m getting it too.
