Martha Stewart offered a painstaking and terrifying and thrilling review of her beauty regimen for the New York Times's Skin Deep column. Every single thing about it was perfect, from the casual mention of daughter Alexis's undermining skills ("I was told years ago by my daughter, Alexis, that I shouldn't leave the house without makeup on.") to her in-flight misting rituals ("On a recent plane ride to L.A., I sprayed myself five times.")(IT'S HYDRATING. SO SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A PRUNE, YOU SEE.)
The whole thing is nuts, in the best possible way. (She spritzes herself with Fracas three times a day. Fracas, you guys.)
Now, we know that Martha has enough money to slather herself in whatever serums she'd like ("I slather myself with serums.") in whatever quantities she chooses. That is her right, and even the most hardened Martha denier would be compelled to admit that she looks pretty freaking great for a 72-year-old lady. But how much do all these serums and potions and Samantha lip glosses actually cost? To follow is a thorough accounting of every product Martha mentioned as being part of her beauty regimen.
