Beauty Fridays: Secrets of a Beauty Insider





ADELE CHAN owns and runs Blank Communications - a public relations agency that specializes in Beauty and Fashion representation. She is my go-to person when I need information on the latest 'hot' products and the first person I consult when in need of a new skincare product. With over seven years as the PR rep for Vancouver's beauty mecca BeautyMark, Adele has tested every beauty product carried by BeautyMark.
