Maybe its Maybelline?
I was given a sample of this lipgloss at New York FW in feb this year and have been looking for it on the shelves since.

Coming in array of colours this product would be great...

I don’t think you can really decribe the feeling when you are working in a team and everything comes together. Lighting, hair makeup and wardrobe, it brings on a rush of adrenaline and the creativity comes alive and just flows from there.
Last night I worked with an amazing team of equally passionate people and here are just a few images of that collaboration!
So many thanks and deepest...
