Word has it these stars can’t live without these products.

We all wonder how our favorite stars look so great all the time. Sometimes they’re shelling out big bucks for the latest luxury creams (or more likely getting them for free), but in some cases they’re devoted to a frugal drugstore find that they’ve been using since before they hit it big. Here, 10 glamorous, gorgeous gals and the products that help get (and keep) them that way.
Kate Hudson
Whether cruising around with son Ryder or cheering on her beau du jour A. Rod, Kate Hudson always manages to look fresh-faced. We hear her secret is B. Kamins Chemist Day Cream SPF 15, which is packed with firming, toning and moisturizing ingredients. $71, skincarerx.com
Victoria Beckham
She dished about her favorite products in her book, and then launched signature scents with her husband, David, a few years back. But our spies at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills report that David hit the Creed perfume counter a few weeks ago and scooped up a bottle of the new Acqua Fiorentina for Posh. (Mr. Beckham also purchased Creed Tabarome, Original Santal and Silver Mountain Water for himself.) $230, neimanmarcus.com
Kristin Davis
I can picture Kristin Davis as Charlotte, perusing the beauty floor at Bergdorf Goodman, snatching up the latest and greatest lotions and potions. But in real life, Kristin’s beauty secret comes from the sea — in the form of Ahava products. This line’s active ingredients are sourced from the region surrounding the mineral-rich Dead Sea, and their hand cream happens to be my personal favorite. Visit ahavaus.com
Julianne Moore
As we all know, traveling can wreck havoc on our skin — but Julianne Moore maintains her flawless complexion at home and on the go with Tammy Fender’s Travel Kit. If you can’t make it to Palm Beach for Fender’s bespoke skin treatments, you can have a kit of products custom-created to suit your skin type. Visit tammyfender.com or call 888-655-9991 for more information
January Jones
Who doesn’t love January Jones as Betty Draper on Mad Men? I can just picture Betty using Noxema at the end of the day. We hear she keeps her complexion flawless with Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare products, including the Cleanse & Polish, Instant Boost Skin Tonic and the Superskin Concentrate. Visit us.lizearle.com
Madonna
When it comes to her hair, the Material Girl is devoted to Rene Furterer products. When on tour and taking time off, she cares for her locks with the Karite Serum to repair damage, Okara Two-Phase Leave-In Color Protection Spray and Fioravanti Detangling Spray. Available at sephora.com
Ashley Olsen
The Olsen twins know fashion, and apparently Ashley has the beauty big as well. Word has it that she’s addicted to By Terry’s Baume de Rose lip balm, and for good reason — this super-luxe lip protector features SPF 15, it smells divine, and it can be used on dry cuticles, too. $58, spacenk.com
Jessica Simpson
Whether her weight is up or down, Jessica Simpson’s makeup always looks fabulous. Her secret? The Beautyblender sponge. Its elliptical shape gets into hard-to-reach spots like the sides of the nose and under the eyes, and it can be used wet or dry depending on your desired level of coverage. $19.95, beautyblender.net
Uma Thurman
On and off the red carpet, Uma Thurman’s skin always looks radiant. To get that gorgeous glow, Uma uses SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel, a moisture-packed serum enriched with vitamin B5 that is said to aid in tissue repair. $65, skinceuticals.com
Taylor Momsen
Taylor Momsen has the rocker chick look down, and mascara plays a big part. To add oomph to her eyes, she uses Lancôme’s Ôscillation vibrating mascara to add volume, length and dramatic color to her lashes. $34, lancome-usa.com
