ACTRESS & TV PERSONALITY JULISSA BERMUDEZ TO HOST DIANE DA COSTA’S AMERICAN BEAUTY TOUR 2008

New York, NY, March 8, 2008 - The American Beauty Tour’s April 20 kickoff just gained more pep with actress and TV personality Julissa Bermudez added to the mix. The former star interviewer for BET’s “106 & Park” will lend her talent as the ultimate makeover tour’s host for all dates nationwide.

A promo for Julissa Bermudez hosting the American Beauty Tour airs later this month in a webcast on Latina.com, in which the Dominican beauty’s American Beauty Makeover by Diane Da Costa is featured step-by-step. The live makeover by the celebrity stylist and author of Textured Tresses: The Ultimate Guide to Maintaining and Styling Natural Hair (Simon & Schuster) shows Latina.com readers just how unique the American Beauty Tour will be and what two lucky winners of Latina.com’s Glam Contest can win.

As a media sponsor of the tour, Latina.com is hosting the Glam Contest giving online readers the chance to win a makeover on the tour’s last dates in June in New York City. Through the Glam Contest, two lucky women will be flown to New York City for the only makeover in 2008 celebrating all shades, all shapes, all textures—curly, tightly coiled, wavy or straight—all-American Beauty.

Diane Da Costa’s American Beauty Makeover is the beauty revamp of a lifetime. The American Beauty Makeover includes a personalized look created by the celebrity stylist herself, do-it-yourself instructions for style upkeep, a hands-on guide to caring for your texture, plus makeup by Lazarus the Makeup Man.
