The French beauty is a professional who has an amazing track record in the industry. Her resume boasts names like Clarins and Dior, but once you know her, this comes as no surprise. She was simply following in the family footsteps.<\/p>\n<p>Both Mueffling\u2019s mother and grandmother were beauty editors at THE French Vogue. Now she lives with her husband and twins in New York and is the Founder &amp; Editor of newly launched beauty site <a href=\"http:\/\/beautyandwellbeing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Beauty and Well Being<\/a>. She&#8217;s got a wealth of beauty knowledge that&#8217;s filtered through the lens of her classic French POV. During our meeting, I legit wanted to ask her one million questions, but of course I tried to contain myself.<\/p>\n<p>Lucky for me, she was kind enough to spill her well kept secrets. You&#8217;re going to want to savor this one, girls.
