"A touch of the oh-la-las"

I agree with the above post. Although i've posted a few of these articles about french women and their approach to beauty i don't think there is much difference between how different cultures maintain themselves. Perhaps because there are a lot of french beauty brands and also people assoaciate france with luxury and that laid-back lifestyle they assume french women have a certain something....

^i think these days people use it as a form of marketing too
can't really say something like that for a whole culture
you could say the same for the japanese, but then you could meet a japanese girl who doesn't keep up with the maintenance.... i've never actually found one, but i have found a bunch who aren't hardcore at it and get like facials and their hair down every 2 weeks

TheKiwi did you ever get your hands on some Biafine ointment? I'd like to try the overnight mask myself. Anyone in France that could recommend online stores that ship to the U.S. ?
