From Julyne Derrick:

In this day and age, who has time to try out twenty different foundations just to find the perfect one? And who has time to read a 300-page book on hair and makeup tips? (Especially when there is so much good fiction out there). Well, I do. That's my job and it's my goal to pass on everything I learn to you without glossing over the truth. I'll tell you how to get rid of your scaly lips, add body to your hair and find a new hairstyle. Every day I learn more and pass my knowledge on to you.
