Mister Mascara says... Look like the Queen of the Nile
From Cleopatra to Nefartiti, the Queens of the Nile knew the secret of soft shiny hair: vegetal pomades. Hairgum Girl is 95% vegetal and enrished (sic) with carnuba wax for easy styling and orange essential oil for a tonic action.
Smells divine.
