When I opened these eye shadows at home I was royally ticked. I purchased them downtown (an hour away from where I live) at Holt Renfrew were I had to beat off the sales associate trying to book me in for makeover. She made the word “persistant” look mild and just wouldn’t take no for an [...]

You just can’t go wrong with a Dior mascara. The price can do you wrong, but the mascara itself will treat you more than kindly. The latest proof is in the wand. The rubber nano-brush of the New Look mascara gives you complete control over application and makes precision a cinch. Even the fine stubborn [...]
