May 2010 – Page 2 – City Girl in Red Lipstick

~ Ultimate Concealer ~

Every City Girl knows she needs duplicate items in her makeup wardrobe. I carry one concealer in my makeup bag and have one at home. I’m of the school of thought that the makeup I put on in the morning comes with me on my daily journey, and in the event I forget my makeup bag I haveContinue reading “~ Ultimate Concealer ~”

I saw the results within my first application, even with my beautyContinue reading “~ The Future of Skincare just got 4 times Brighter ~”

~ Kate Moss Style ~

by ANGELA BUTTOLPH I love Kate Moss, she is one of the best dressed women in the world. She reminds me of a young Bridget Bardot – only with an edge. Kate can transform herself into a sexy siren and beguile us with her gamine smile. Kate teaches us that mixing works, style is mixing high andContinue reading “~ Kate Moss Style ~”

I’ve been testing Jan Marini’s Regeneration Facial Mask, and after three weeks of using the mask I started to see improvement in my areas of concern. I loved using the mask, I felt the mask working to remove the dead surface skin, leaving my skinContinue reading “Regeneration Facial Mask”
