Hi there, I'm Jean, and I'm a beauty editor at Lucky magazine. People always tell me I have the best job in the world. And you know what… I agree! I get fifty, a hundred, two hundred beauty gifts every day. Companies keep sending me so much stuff, I sometimes don't even know where to put it. We've got three giant walk-in closets at the office, we call them our beauty closets. Lip gloss, mascara, eye pencils, perfume — you name it, it's there. Once a month we sell the tacky things for charity, but we always make sure to keep the good stuff to ourselves. (And if 'good' means a silk Hermès scarf, we all turn into vicious monsters. It can get ugly sometimes, but that's just human nature.)
So I started at Elle magazine in 1993, which was a strange career choice since both my parents are scientists, and they really didn't see me in this line of work…
