Yardley London English Lavender Soap is apparently stocked inside the royal palaces, such is the Queen's love of the fresh smelling product. It has been one of the world's leading suppliers of quality soaps and perfumes since 1770, which is no doubt one of the reasons the British brand has been endorsed by the monarch.
The Duchess of Cambridge has bouncy, shiny waves that you can only find in those star-studded L'Oréal, Pantene and Garnier commercials. Except Kate doesn't use any of those brands to get such healthy strands. She uses Kérastase's Bain Oleo-Relax Shampoo to nourish and smooth her beautiful locks.
Royal residences reportedly keep Yardley soaps on-hand, and per Marie Claire, private guests to Windsor Castle are given Yardley products, too.
Queen Elizabeth II seldom wore little more than lipstick and a hint of blush for her public appearances, and called upon Clarins Compact Powder for her complexion (the brand made an exclusive lipstick to match her suit for Coronation Day in 1953 to celebrate the Queen's loyalty to them).
Keep Eye Makeup Minimal
Particularly in recent years, Mills notes the Queen looks like she's barely wearing any eye makeup at all. “A touch of mascara would be the only thing, as a makeup artist, I would want to add to her look,” she says.
Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth reportedly wore Guerlain L'Heure Bleue, a spicy citrus with a powdery dry down. It's been a classic for the fragrance house ever since the scent was created in 1912.
When it comes to smelling good, the Queen is said to use Floris London.
5. Her Favourite Bath And Shower Products. Everyone loves Molton Brown's bath and shower gels – and that includes the royal family! Since 2013, the British brand has held a Royal Warrant, proving they're among the Queen's favourite beauty products.
The Queen has always loved a classic lipstick. According to royal insiders, among her favourites are Elizabeth Arden's Beautiful Colour lipsticks, which she has been spotted applying during functions.
It is known however that she contracted smallpox in 1562 which left her face scarred. She took to wearing white lead makeup to cover the scars. In later life, she suffered the loss of her hair and her teeth, and in the last few years of her life, she refused to have a mirror in any of her rooms.
Though a certain amount of mystery surrounds what has gone into retaining that royal radiance, there is one product Her Majesty is said to have relied on for decades to keep her skin looking and feeling hydrated: Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream.
Guerlain, by 'L 'Heure Bleue
This fragrance was created in 1912 and had a slightly spicy scent. Typically it has notes of citrus, flowers and a powdered like dry down.
The Queen was a fan of Elizabeth Arden's lipsticks for years. According to Hello, the brand has held a Royal Warrant for over 55 years.
The rumored royal shampoo of choice that keeps Kate's locks so bouncy? Kerastase Discipline Bain Oleo Relax smoothing shampoo. While the princess has never confirmed her use of the product, there are a few more potions that appear to have a more confirmed pedigree.
The stylist confirmed with Refinery 29 that Kérastase Bain Oléo-Relax is still a holy grail beauty item for Meghan Markle. According to her, it's the royal secret to her flawless blowout. Her sister-in-law, Kate Middelton is also a fan of Kérastse's shampoo for hair care needs.
Virtue Full Shampoo
When possible, Olsen tries to sidestep washing her hair on a daily basis. But when she does, she uses Virtue's shampoos — this one was created to add volume without stripping hair. And it's the brainchild of celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was known to sport the brightest of colours when she attended public events, however there is one colour the monarch never wore. Royal biographer Robert Hardman reportedly said: “My favourite remark she ever said was: 'I can never wear beige because nobody will know who I am. '”
In the 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, there has only been one nail colour she's sported - in the public eye, at least. It's so subtle you've likely never noticed it, though closer inspection shows her nails are often painted a soft and milky barely-there pink.
She sure did - and the exact nail polish colour was Essie's Ballet Slippers. The late Queen Elizabeth II only let one shade of nail polish touch her finger tips and it was by none other than Essie.
What Kate called the Queen. While the rest of the world is required to address Queen Elizabeth as Ma'am or your majesty, those closest to her are allowed to refer to her as Mama, according to Ingrid Seward, the editor of Majesty magazine. Sign up to British Heritage Travel's daily newsletter here!
Although it's unlikely the Queen binge watches Netflix while ordering Uber Eats to Buckingham Palace, it turns out Her Majesty does like to get her hands dirty at home - and even does her own washing up.
And as to putting one's clothes on, contrary to popular belief the Queen actually dressed alone. The monarch also did her own make-up for most events, with the exception of her annual Christmas speech, for which a make-up artist was employed.
Here's all you need to know about the fragrance... Floris London is known to be the Queen's go-to perfume brand, with rumours that she opts for the signature White Rose scent. As the only perfume brand to be granted a royal warrant from the Queen, Floris London definitely has the royal seal of approval.
Her Majesty is known for her trademark short curly locks. According to the Express, the Queen dyed her hair with a product called Chocolate Kiss until the 1990s, and it gradually went gray within a couple of months.
And according to the queen's longtime dresser, the monarch is responsible for much of her own iconic style. In her new book, The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe, Angela Kelly revealed that the queen does her own makeup almost everyday.
