Despite a new gig with Lancome, the mother-of-three, 42, admitted that there are areas of her beauty routine that could use some improvement, “I think I have to stand up straighter and wash my face more,” she said.

Meanwhile, fresh from her Eat, Pray, Love shoot in which she plays writer Elizabeth Gilbert on her soul-searching trip through Italy, India and Indonesia Julia admitted, “It was quite a huge undertaking.

“It was a little bit daunting, dragging three little kids around the world, but well worth it,” she said, referring to her three children, the oldest of whom are five-year-old twins.

“It was really like the acting Olympics,” continued Julia. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a full-time acting job. I am really glad that I made the decision to go off and do that movie. I hope that Liz [Gilbert] really likes it more than anything,” said Julia.

“She’s a really interesting woman. I’m pretty fascinated by her, and I think a lot of people relate to her. So that’s the greatest challenge [with] a book that’s so well-known: You want people to see the movie and have that same sense of interest and comfort that they got from reading the book.”

Julia is excited about taking a hands-on approach to her role with Lancôme, “I get all these things to play with and test and give my opinion about,” she said.

“And it’s quite exciting without having to invest all of myself in how I look because they did come to me as me, which is a pretty casual mom. But you know, it’s nice to up your game a little bit.”

Have children changed her beauty regimen? “It kind of comes to a screeching halt,” she admitted. “At a certain point in the future, I’ll pick it back up again.

“I think the nice thing about getting older is it forces you in a way to take a greater interest in your [beauty] regime. And so it’s a good moment for me to join forces with people who can help me,” she said, laughing.

As a fulltime stay-at-home mom for the past year, Julia Roberts says life outside the Hollywood spotlight has been anything but uneventful – thanks to her three children.

“I will never be bored again,”] Julia, 41, told Allure for its March issue.

“Danny and I talk about, ‘What did we do with all the time we must have had?’ ” she said. “Because you don’t recognize it as such, until you have all these little … time thieves running around your house.”

Julia shared that due to her children – twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 4, and another son, Henry, 20 months – she has become creative in using home remedies when it comes to removing a splinter.

“We get a lot of splinters in our house,” said Julia.

“A splinter is just a good light, a pair of tweezers and a lot of singing songs and passing the time: La-la-la, now listen, if you eat all of your dinner It’s distraction and extraction.”

The domesic Julia admitted that her life at home is a juggling act, and while “it can lose its luster a little bit,” the key to her happy marriage and family is affection.

“The coolest thing you can do for your children is to love each other in their presence,” she said. “I’m the luckiest girl in town, I really am.”

On the key to beauty Julia shared the following:

The key to beauty is always to be looking at someone who loves you, really. One of my favorite things about my children right now, even Henry, who can’t say all the words…sometimes he’ll see me and go, “Ma-ma!” and throw himself on me. Or Finn says he likes my earrings. Or Hazel will say, “You look pretty, Mama,” first thing in the morning. And I realize, that’s all my husband. They’re seeing the things that he does and the way that he shares his feelings with me, and the way that I share my feelings with him. The coolest thing you can do for your children is to love each other in their presence.

In June 2007, five months after baring her belly in a bikini, Julia gave birth to her third child, a little boy named Henry.

Julia, 40, says her twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus (both almost 3), were born at 1:21 and 1:22. Then, two and a half years later, Henry (now 5-months-old) was born at 1:23! “I have to say, little Henry’s the sweetest child known to mankind,” she says. “I think I can say that objectively.”

She’ll get no argument from Oprah, who stopped by Julia’s hotel room to see the children. “Henry is the cutest Munchkin,” Oprah says. “He’s just the cutest baby boy.”

“I didn’t find Henry as cute,” Tom jokes. “I thought, ‘He’s small, and he smells good. He has an innocent baby-like quality to him.’ But as far as being off the scale cute, I found him to be like an 8 or a 9 on a scale of 10.”

Julia says Henry’s arrival has changed their family forever. “It just completed us,” she says. “We’re complete. We’re a good five-some.”

With three children and a loving husband at home, Julia says choosing her next movie has become more difficult. “I just made a decision to make a movie next year, and I found it was almost too big of a decision because I don’t make it a lot,” she says. “I’m out of the practice of making the decision.”

When Oprah and Julia tried to slip away to have a drink at Julia’s hotel, Oprah says Finn held onto his mom and said, “Mom, I don’t want you to go. I don’t want you to go.”

“So I’m thinking, we’re just going to go downstairs and have some bubbly water,” Oprah says. “What happens when you want to go away to do a movie?”

Thankfully, Julia didn’t have to go far to shoot some scenes in Charlie Wilson’s War, but when she did have to travel, she says she consulted her family first.

“It’s a real team effort in our house,” she says. “Everything that goes on has to sort of pass everybody’s approval. Danny and the kids, everybody has to want to go and be part of it or else it doesn’t work. Moms know what it’s like when you leave the house, and your kids are crying and saying, ‘Don’t go.’ So I usually don’t go.”

And for Oprah fans…the annual Oprah’s Favorite Things show is on today. I saw it once (quite a few years ago) and found it interesting, but ever since then I have found it rather repulsive. It seems to get more yucky every year. It is such a sad way to kick off the holiday season…it is such a crass and embarrassing display of materialism. I don’t understand why Oprah bothers with it. If you think I’m being extreme and haven’t seen it before, check it out and you’ll see! All the 40+ women in the audience squeal with delight at every new gadget or fancy fudge that is unveiled as if Oprah had just discovered the cure for cancer. The holidays have been so hijacked by consumerism.
