On defining beauty: “it sounds really corny, but I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. You can be a pretty face, but if your not a nice person it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right. If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.”

On if she has a motto: “There are loads. There’s “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works.”

My boyfriend cannot talk on the phone and [answer] if I ask him a question or get dressed at the same time. I can do all of that – talk on the phone, answer a question, get dressed and put my makeup on all at the same time. Women just do, don’t they? I think it’s something to do with babies. When you have a child, you have to be able to multi task.

As for the pricing model, the blonde beauty tells, “I am a drugstore whore. I worship drug stores. You have to pull me out of them. My dream is for every woman to be able to go to her favorite drug store and buy an affordable fragrance which will make her feel sexy.”

The name and number of each fragrance is marked on an embossed label and enhanced by the famous D&G logo, a global icon for luxury and sophistication.
