To Hell With Inner Beauty

Ellen: the face that launched a thousand housewives (to Wal-Mart)

To Hell With Inner Beauty
by Michael Thompson

Wanna know what Ellen is doing in the new year? Rolling out a partnership between Olay and CoverGirl by the name of Simply Ageless Foundation.

When asked about the line Ellen stated, "Inner beauty is important, but not nearly as important as outer beauty. That’s why I use CoverGirl Simply Ageless makeup with Olay Regenerist serum." Hilarious!

But, seriously, what is in the water over at CoverGirl? First Queen Latifah launched her Queen Collection, and now Ellen. I personally love my ladies at least a little gender freaky, but who knew Covergirl did too?
