August 2, 2009 by
Tweet I noticed Addiction, a new brand by make up artist Ayako in my copy of Voce Magazine. I knew she was very familiar then I realised I had seen her from afar during a demo – she is/was (?) a Nars girl for 14 years. One word: HAWT.* I am actually sat here with tingles because after the Illamasqua followed by Rouge Bunny Rouge brand swooning, this is the first new range to hit me BAM between the eyes…it’s {Read More}
