The Sephora in Toronto’s Bloor/Yorkville neighbourhood recently moved to a new, bigger location a block or so east.  I have to admit that I was excited about the move – a bigger spot means more room for products, right?  After all, I’m pretty much a Sephora addict – I’ve been a VIBRouge for at least […]

Garnier Clean + For Sensitive Skin

I recently had the chance to try Garnier Clean + For Sensitive Skin, a make-up remover that I received from Garnier Canada for review purposes.  The product, which does not contain alcohol, dyes or fragrances which can strip away moisture or irritate skin, removes more make-up (including eye make-up) with the same amount than my […]
