Watch out MAC! La La Anthony is coming for your cosmetics crown. That’s right, the television personality, star of La La’s Full Court Life, and soon to be actress has developed her own cosmetics line with the help of Loren Ridinger, senior vice president of Market America/SHOP.com, called Motives for La La.
