The Mastermind Behind Your Favorite Beauty Tools That Sell Out In Minutes
It is fairly well-established at this point that richness breeds hotness. The stuff that celebrities do all the time to look the way they look — fancy facials, regular salon appointments, eyebrow transplants, injectables, what have you — is all prohibitively expensive for anyone without an impressive amount of disposable income.
