I came across an article about Marilyn Monroe in my latest issue of Allure and it shared some of her favorite beauty products. I was so intrigued to know what this beauty icon used to achieve her luminous skin and overall banging sex appeal that I figured there are more people out there who would be just as curious. Here are some of the items Marilyn swore by that are still sold today:
SKINCARE:
Marilyn used both Nivea cream and Vaseline to make her skin glow under the bright studio lights
Erno Laszlo Active Phelityl Cream
FRAGRANCE:
Marilyn reportedly took ice baths that had drops of No. 5 in it
Yardley English Lavender Perfume
MAKEUP:
Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Powder Pencil in Espresso
Helena Rubenstein Long Lash Mascara

I really enjoyed this blog! Such a cute idea
Thanks Pauly!
Love this! And her! I want to start using a cleansing oil. I’ve heard the Shu Uemura one is really good. Have you tried one?
Thanks Rach! I haven’t but I’ve heard good things about them. I wonder if it’s actually oily?
Yes I think it is, but I’ve heard they are great on all skin types. My friend from Greece uses one & says it’s her secret to her perfect skin. I’m going to try!
