I scour the world of beauty so you don't have to. A beauty nut since childhood ( 5), I voraciously read many magazines and websites to get the info as fast as I can on the newest products out there. I love the thrill of a great new product. I love fashion and perfumes. I value honesty and if I say I love a product, I mean it.
