About me
I love luxe beauty products. Especially of the French kind (hence my user name, you weren't thinking of something else were you he he). I also love natural products or products that have lots of good natural ingredients. I don't have a luxe beauty budget at the moment, so am happily trying natural products that are affordable. I especially love my budget friendly Australian brands for skincare and makeup. I am semi retired, but experimenting with a new career and writing a book. I have qualifications and experience in many jobs from makeup artist (theatrical darling!) to trauma counsellor. I have quite a few health issues so opt for part time work and a low stress, healthy lifestyle, but that doesn't pair that well with my luxe beauty addiction. Oh well, sacrifices must be made. I would love to be on the trial team or do some writing for this site, hint hint. I recently made it onto a trial team. Tres Happy!Age range
