Women's History Month & The Beauty Addict

I remember seeing Jonelle Johnson on a NYC subway in a Chanel-inspired suit, pointed flats and a fierce short 'do years ago.  She was that striking (those almond eyes)!  A few weeks later, she scored a position in the music department where I worked and we've been friends ever since.  Besides being a true beauty, a social butterfly and genuinely good-natured, this women has a serious product addition. She's always in search of the next big thing in beauty and skincare.  

She is a self-professed product junkie on a never ending quest to find the perfect red lippie and the longest, most curliest eyelash extensions. CEO of the "Short-hair-don't-care" team way before it was popular, Jonelle is a lover of life, laughter, good food and good wine.
