What’s Up? Media welcomed nine glamour gurus to its Beauty Buzz Team on Tuesday, October 20th. The orientation party, held at the What’s Up? office in Annapolis, offered a meet-and-greet with President/Publisher Veronica Tovey, an introduction to the team, and a few lite bites, along with some champagne––it wouldn’t be a party without a little bubbly! Armed with a serious affection for all things beauty and a solid knowledge of current cosmetic trends, these ladies will test the latest hair, skin, and makeup products and report back with their reviews. Starting in January, we’ll print several of their favorite items on a monthly “Products We Love” page, with more detailed descriptions available online at whatsupmag.com.
