The Cost of Kate Middleton's Beauty Routine.





If you're envious of Kate Middleton's shiny, perfectly curled hair, you can take solace in the fact that flawless grooming doesn't come cheap. According to US Weekly, The Duchess goes to her favorite salon, Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa in London, three times a week for $75 blowouts. A source told US, "She loves her time there and she has known everyone there for years so it's really relaxing for her." Hair salon visits at least 156 times a year?! Must be nice. 




When you're a member of the royal family, appearance is everything. Middleton, who is constantly photographed, must constantly uphold an image of elegance and class, so naturally her skin, makeup, nails, and hair must all be impeccable. We dug a little deeper into Middleton's beauty routine to see how much she spends on grooming. We've rounded up her favorite products and estimated her yearly beauty budget based on reported sources, general habits, and cosmetic expiration dates. Let's see how it all adds up. 





 Hair
-  Blowouts at Richard Ward's salon are $75. Three times a week would cost $11,732 a year.
-  ELLE UK says Middleton gets $11 Keratin Infusion treatments with each blow dry. Three
    times a week would cost $1,720 a year.
-  Haircuts are $242 a pop. Every six weeks would cost $2,000 a year.
-  Richard Ward told the Daily Mail he dyes Middleton's hair with L'Oreal Symbio and Fuente 
   Organic colour. A full head of lowlights at his salon costs $376. Every six weeks would cost
    $3,008
-  BellaSugar, who provided extensive coverage of Middleton's grooming routine, says the Duchess
    likes the Kérastase conditioning treatments, which cost $20 to $30. Spending $25 once
    a month would cost $300  a year.





Makeup
Middleton did her own wedding makeup, though she did take lessons. Here are the products she's purchased and used:
-YSL's Touche Eclat Radiant Touch, $40
-Lancome Hypnose mascara, $26

If she bought all these three times a year her makeup would cost $1,206. 





Skin care
-  A product loyalist, Middleton loves Swiss brand Karin Herzog's skin care items. The
   company's managing director told Style.com her favorite items are the $50 Professional
   Cleanser, the $76 Vita-A-Kombi 1, the $32 Vita-A-Kombi 3 Spot Zapper, and $54
   the Oxygen Face Cream. Restocking these items every three months would cost $848 a year.
-  The Daily Mail says Mother-in-law Duchess Camilla convinced Middleton to try a $260 Bee
   Sting Facial from Deborah Mitchell, and now she's hooked. Monthly facials would cost
   $3,120 a year.
-  According to the Telegraph, Middleton was spotted buying Nivea Visage Pure & Natural
    Moisturising Day Cream at Boots for about $8. Every three months would cost $32 a year.

Nails
Before the royal wedding, Camilla took Middleton to get her nails done by Marina Sandoval at the Jo Hansford Salon. They used Essie's Allure nail polish. BellaSugar says manicures there are $58, and pedicures are $76. Bi-weekly mani/pedis would cost $3,484 a year.

Tan
Kate Middleton and her sister both love spray tans, and BellaSugar claims their regular salon charges $118. If she went bi-weekly it would cost $2,832 a year.

 Fragrance
Middleton wore Illuminum White Gardenia Petals perfume on her wedding day. It costs $150 a bottle, so buying two a year would cost $300.




Teeth
According to the Daily Mail, Middleton went to orthodontist Dr. Didier Fillion who closed the gap between her two front teeth with lingual braces using 3D technology. She had a $157 consultation and the treatment may have cost around $7,000. That's $7,157 total.

Kate Middleton's yearly beautifying total: $37,728.

But we think she'd look gorgeous on any budget.










UK royals mark Garter Day.






UK royals mark Garter Day. Garter Day is a symbolic occasion June 13, 2011. Britain's royal family has turned out for the annual Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle.

Queen Elizabeth II was joined by her husband, Prince Philip, the newly-married Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and a host of other royals for the Garter Day ceremony.

Garter Day is a symbolic occasion when holders of the honor, chosen because they have held public office, contributed to national life or served the sovereign personally, meet to celebrate the most senior British order of chivalry.

The former Kate Middleton, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, grinned broadly as she watched her husband, Prince William, take part in a procession ahead of the service — causing him to blush.

When it comes to fashion, elegance and grace, Britain's royal favorite and Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton never fails to impress her admirers.

At the recent 'Order of the Garter' service at Windsor Castle on Monday, the 29-year old looked stunning in a mid-sized Philip Treacy headpiece perched in a slating manner on her open hair along with natural make-up; a look often referred to as the Duchess' "signature style."

Her light blue-grey dress was complimented with a matching coat, giving her a regal and elegant look. Over 6,000 people were present to watch the pageantry of the Order of the Garter service. Founded in 1348, the Order of the Garter is the most senior and the oldest British Order of Chivalry. The Order, consisting of the King and twenty-five knights, honors those who have held public office, who have contributed in a particular way to national life or who have served the Sovereign personally.

At the service, every knight is required to display a banner of his arms in the Chapel, together with a helmet, crest and sword and an enamelled stallplate. Upon his death, these are returned back to the Sovereign.

Check out the pictures of the 'Order of the Garter' service and Duchess' signature style below:

Kate wore her grey Katherine Hooker coat dress, which she also wore to last year’s Order of the Garter ceremony over her Jenny Packham grey silk floral print dress (from the Santa Barbara polo match during her tour of Canada and the United States last year). Kate’s garments and accessories look brilliantly pulled together, it’s almost as if she’d shopped this outfit from scratch. Great at coordinating.

Duchess Kate: Expanding Horizons Camp Visit.





Even when she's roughing it in the woods, Kate Middleton still manages to look effortlessly chic. Bonding with 28 eight-and nine-year-olds from the King Solomon Academy Primary School, based in North Westminster, London Sunday, the Duchess of Cambridge wearing a pair of leather-lined Le Chameau wellington boots, Zara jeans, a Burberry shirt and a Really Wild sleeveless jacket to tour a campground in Kent.

Visiting an Expanding Horizons primary school scheme at the Widehorizons Margaret McMillan House in Wrotham, Kent, Middleton, 30, marveled at the tipi tents the inner-city kids had created. "This is marvelous," she told the children. "Thank you for showing me your bedroom."

Later, Prince William's wife chatted with the schoolchildren around a campfire, and offered them a glimpse into her home life with her husband of one year. "Well, it's been very busy and great fun…but I am very well looked after," she said when asked how she's adjusted to her new status as a royal. As for married life behind closed doors? "William is very sweet and kind of spoils me," she told another child.

Prince William and his brother Harry have long supported ARK Schools, the group which organized the weekend, which is aimed at allowing inner-city kids the chance to develop their confidence and teamwork skills in an outdoor setting.

Friendship Kate Middleton and Prince Harry.



Nine-year love affair with Prince William, Kate Middleton was not only familiar with her lover (now husband), but also with his brother, Prince Harry. On many occasions, they are often seen chatting fun and joking.



Kate and Harry was trending topic on Twitter at Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the UK broadcast live and the camera captures images both of them were having a joke on the balcony.


See, even William just seemed curious about what is being talked about his wife and his brother.


I wonder what it is, who is appointed by Harry and Kate?


Began dating William since 2003, she had been instantly familiar to Harry.


Couple William and Kate were a few times going out invites Harry. This photo while watching the three of them friendly soccer match between Italy against England.


Responding to his brother's wedding with Kate Middleton in April 2011, Harry had said, "I always wanted to have a sister. Now I've had it."


Compared to the taciturn William, Harry is more spontaneous and active, so the favorite cameraman. Harry nature is similar to Kate Middleton who is more relaxed in front of the camera.


Another proof of their familiarity? After marriage, William and Kate live in Kensington Palace. Not alone, but also with Harry.


With a flurry of Prince William at formal royal occasions, she does often spend time interacting with his brother-in-law


But for other matters concerning the affairs of men, like Harry still choose other companions: his own brother.


Hope... Marriage of Kate and William may increase cohesiveness between William and Harry, and a royal family happiness.
 
I love to see this compactness.
