Garnier Moisture Bomb Sheet Masks Review

I first spotted these way back in April at the L’Oreal/Garnier “Launches for the Year” event. I really had hoped that they were hidden in our goodie bags but the samples we saw were specially flown in from Paris for our viewing so sadly we had to wait before actually testing them out.

Clarins Everlasting Foundation + Review

So I had high hopes when the Clarins EverLasting Foundation + with SPF15 (R445) arrived on my desk. I found that it perfectly matched my skin and the shade was 105. I love that it is…
