"Today's woman reinvents herself often, and the constant supply of newer and better products that hit the market make it easy to do so. As much as I like change (I have a drawer of lipsticks to prove it) I’m fascinated by the idea of a style that is uniquely mine. I believe every woman should have a signature scent, lipstick, or wardrobe color. When you are rushed or uninspired, you have a core look that is easy for you to remember. Make that look a good one, and you have the bonus effect of making yourself unforgettable." — Jules Kendall, Panckes and French Fries

"Along with death and taxes, pores and fine lines are inevitable. A completely smooth, airbrushed face is creepy, but I'm not opposed to looking ten years younger with skin the texture of rose petals. Applied over moisturizer and under your regular foundation, primer reduces the appearance of fine lines and large pores." — Jules Kendall, Pancakes and French Fries
