Reveal NYC to Uplift Women Survivors of Domestic Violence at Valentine's Day Makeover Event

NEW YORK - Feb. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- Reveal NYC will celebrate and uplift women who have suffered from domestic violence by partnering with beauty and fashion professionals and corporations at its 8^th annual Valentine’s Day Makeover Event on February 15.
