Kat’s Cover Up: Not Exactly Ronseal
… As in, it doesn’t do what it says on the tin. This is a picture of Kat Von D before her airbrushed photo-shoot. This picture tells me there is no way in hell her product will work, which is no surprise considering she isn’t a make up artist and should have been tattooing instead … Read more
