L’Occitane Launches New Skincare and Makeup Range

I recently stopped by the Soho L’Occitane store to check-out their new makeup range and skincare line.

You Work-Out Your Body, but What About Your Face??

Back then I had no idea what in the world a blackhead was and I remember thinking “how have I not been working on preventing these before??” With so many new … Continue reading “You Work-Out Your Body, but What About Your Face??”
