Best Beauty Products...Jennifer Connelly

Jennifer Connelly, the new face of Shiseido, talks about her beauty regimen, favorite products, and tricks-"There's no trick like, put a dollop of Vaseline on your whatever."  As far as her beautiful hair, she doesn't use any particular shampoo or conditioner but she does make her own concoction of coconut oil and shea butter which she applies to her hair and body.
