American celebrities like to carry whatever Parisian IT $$$$$ bag is IN.

City-Pharma & Cafe Deux Magot
Some wise travelers know Paris is a Mecca for makeup and City-Pharma is their bargain land Holy Grail. At 26, rue du Four 75004
I met up with two clever ducks Cheryl & Debbie on Tuesday because they'd ordered the 6-pack of Paris Letters and wanted to pick them up while in Paris (instant gratification).
