the “Natural Look” at long last.

protection, minimum allergy
risk, and a wide range of
long lasting colours

eye shadows, to

plumping colours
and glosses.

foundation
which means a
healthy skin.

and I had to wax regularly, which was unpleasant and painful.
I’d have to pluck hairs for an hour before going out, to the point
