We did a little leg work for you and found exactly which products A-list celebrities swear by to give them that Red Carpet glow. So click to find out what’s in the beauty cabinets of Gwyneth Paltrow (pictured), Amanda Seyfried, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson after the jump.

Also, can you guess which celeb actually bases her skin care regime on a book rather than a serum or a cream? See for yourself:

Your mom carried you for nine months, changed your diapers, wiped your runny nose, survived your teenage mood swings, and sent you to college. That’s 6570 days of hard work dedicated to you, yet she gets just one day a year for you to show her how much you care. What do you do to celebrate your mom on the other 364 days?

Some of the best moments I shared with my mom were not on Mother’s Day at all, but on that random weekend when I popped over just to surprise her (possibly with cupcakes) and to spend quality girl-time together. Those are the times that make up for all the chauffeuring and ballet classes. Those are the times that I’ll remember forever.

Celebrate your mom every day and share your fondest memories of your time spent together with Olay. The winning stories earn a fabulous trip to New York City! Enter the “Like Mom, Like Daughter” contest before May 30th to enter. Visit Olay’s Facebook page and click on the “Like Mom, Like Daughter” tab for the official contest rules and complete entry details.

Last week we introduced you to the Olay “Like Mom, Like Daughter” contest. With another Mother’s Day complete, we hope you had some time to look back on all the amazing moments you had with your mother. Now, turn those memories into an amazing trip to New York City.

If you think you and your mom (or daughter, for the mothers reading this post) have an exceptional story to tell, Olay wants to hear from you. Visit Olay’s Facebook page between May 9th and 30th to submit a short essay about how your mother-daughter relationship has transformed into a friendship. If the written word is less your strong suit, photogs and videographers can use photos and video to boost your chances of winning.

You have until the end of the month to submit your story before Olay will choose 50 finalists. Voting then opens to the public before the 10 grand-prize winners are chosen.

The 10 lucky mother-daughter teams will win a 3-day/2-night trip to New York City, mother-daughter makeovers, a special photo shoot, and of course, a $500 shopping spree! (Mom… are you reading this?)

Celebrate your mom every day – and share your memories with Olay.

She’s been there through diapers, first dates, graduations, promotions, marriage and more. Always the bearer of priceless advice (from the dress that really does make you look fat, to her trusted anti-wrinkle cream), she’s more than just a “mom,” she’s often a daughter’s best friend.We all have fond memories about our relationship with mom… and if you are willing to share, you could be rewarded! Visit Olay’s Facebook page or check back on SHEfinds beginning May 9th for more details.

OK, I admit it: I’m an Oprah addict. Not only did she convince me I couldn’t live without CJ by Cookie Johnson jeans, but now she’s inspiring women everywhere to look better inside and out with her 20 Years  Younger challenge. The easiest way to get involved is with Oprah’s  dermatologists’ skincare line, Lancer–the key, Dr. Lancer says is a three step facial process–to polish, cleanse and moisturize. Treat yourself and your skin with these  simple to use products.

Check out more of our posts on Oprah, plus face cream and lip balm and of course, skinny jeans and nude shoes.

Living in New York City can be tough… it can be ever tougher on your skin when you couple a non-stop lifestyle with grit, grime, and other toxins. At the end of the day, a powerful cleanser that purifies deep into your pores is a must, but fighting free radicals and protecting skin from the stresses of everyday life is even more important.

As a psuedo-professional ‘online – shopper,’ I know which products I like to use to achieve healthy, glowing skin but finding the time for yoga, fun and relaxation is the ultimate key to taking care of one’s self on-the-go. Finding that time to unwind and counter a busy lifestyle is what keeps me balanced & healthy – and looking good!

Sun exposure, free-radicals, environmental toxins and a busy lifestyle can rob your skin of essential nourishment, resulting in noticeably stressed skin that looks dry, tired and blotchy. The AVEENO® SMART ESSENTIALS™ Collection, formulated with ACTIVE NATURALS® Southerwood, keeps environmental stress out and keeps essential nourishment and moisture in. The collection features a full regimen of daily skincare products that cleanse, nourish, protect and treat stressed skin, leaving it nourished and refreshed. For more information, visit Aveeno.com.

With Fashion Week in full gear, it seems that one designer after the next has been sending inspiring hair and makeup looks down the runway. But we have to say, in terms of tresses, we especially loved the soft, tousled waves at Rebecca Minkoff. To achieve the look, Ouidad stylists used some of these key products.

Stylists worked Ouidad’s PlayCurl Volumizing Foam ($22) through models’ hair, giving it a needed boost so that curls would take hold.

After loosening the curls, Ouidad Styling Mist Setting & Holding Spray ($15) was applied to hold waves in place, while also adding long-lasting shine. Voila: instant bedhead.

a sea of bold lips, the muted makeup at Elise Overland’s Fall 2011 show caught our eye. The models, who stood on an ice rink, looked (fittingly) like snow queens, with clean skin, highlighted cheekbones, and pale lips. Makeup artist Napoleon Perdis was the man behind the look, which is easy to DIY with the below.

Get airbrushed-looking skin like the models at Elise Overland with Napoleon Perdis Boudoir Mist Spray Foundation ($49), which also reduces fine lines and wrinkles. We’ll take two.

With such a neutral look, it’s easy for eyes to get lost. Define them with Napoleon Perdis Long Black Mascara ($22), which contains a built-in curler to make lashes super fluttery.

Get glowing like Overland’s models with NP Set Liquid Veil Makeup ($14), a highlighter that adds sheen to lips, eyes, and cheekbones.

…But I’m a sucker for puns, so maybe it’s just me.

That said, winter skin is such a Debbie Downer–we put our faces through ice storms, hot showers and sweltering offices, so it’s no wonder it rebels and produces a zit once in awhile. No longer: make like Wonder Woman and use Bliss’s new No Zit Sherlock ($18) as your invisible secret weapon. You can use the clear gel any time of day, so if you get into work and notice one crowning, you don’t have to wait all day to go home and rectify it. With 2% salicylic acid, that sucker doesn’t stand a chance.

Two weeks ago, @shefindseileen and I had the pleasure of checking out La Prairie‘s latest concoction, the Cellular Power Infusion ($475) at its launch party. We’re both suckers for anything La Prairie, so we slathered ourselves in the stuff. At $475 a pop, we wanted to make sure it was legit before passing the word along to you. How about some Beauty Math.

Sure enough, 2 weeks of using it day and night later, and I can safely say this serum is for real. Not only does it smell amazing and feel weightless (so you actually want to wear it), but I’ve seen improvement in my skin (specifically, one trouble spot that shall remain nameless).
