Don’t We All Want To Look Fab?

Friday, April 11th, 2008

I am excited to let you know that for the second time in Toronto, Look Fab will be offering hands-on, personalized beauty advice for us gals. I was still living in Vancouver when they came to town last year, and was so disappointed that I missed it!

What is Look Fab about? Do you remember when you found your best beauty secret? Like that perfect shade of lipstick or trusted hair styling trick that you knew would be guaranteed to “wow”. These are ‘Look Fab’ moments — those moments when everything in beauty just clicks. At the Look Fab location, beauty advisors will be sharing tips and tricks, insider secrets, product recommendations and…complimentary samples of P&G Beauty products from Cover Girl, Pantene, Olay, Crest Whitestrips, Venus Embrace, Pure Divine and Clairol Perfect 10 by Nice ‘n Easy.
