COSTUMES FOR COCKTAILS | march 2010

I’m not a fan of wearing makeup on planes but if I must, might as well be sure it’s beneficial. Providing active ingredients up to 20 times more effectively than most topicals, this tinted treatment fluid provides results you can see in 7 days! Don’t believe me?
