Name: Stephanie
Age: 20
Location: New York, New York
Occupation: Beauty Merchandise Marketing
Have to go to work today so a black skirt with tiny small-print white flowers that hits just above my knee (Express) and my favorite short-sleeved sheer blouse with buttons running down the front (Forever21), and of course, black Jessica Simpson heels to top it all off!
About Me:
Hey everyone! I think it's pretty safe to say that if you know that I love cosmetics, then that is all you need to know about me! Just kidding, I have my degree in Beauty Merchandise Marketing and am continuing to further my education in the Cosmetic Industry. Aside from majoring in Beauty, I have worked at a high-end fashion/beauty magazine in Beverly Hills, California and also worked at numerous fashion shows including H&M, Nike, and Saks Fifth Avenue. I just moved back to New York and am excited to poke around at all the new products coming out for Fall!
