I’ve always been a bit jealous of those women who have naturally luscious lips, like Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson. Beauty may only be skin deep, but big, beautiful lips are one of those features that I’ve always wanted. So when a package from Cynthia Rowland Beauty Systems landed on my desk with a new […]
