Kjaer Weis Cream Foundation Review: LPN’s Thoughts

Ok, ok, so this review makes me a little late to the party. Scoring rave reviews from every corner of the internet, Kjaer Weis’ Cream Foundation is certainly leading the pack in “must-have” makeup. I got my hands on this a few months ago (from one of my fave natural beauty boutiques: Eco Diva Beauty), but as a true environmentalist – and because I love anticipation – I waited to finish up some other products before I dove into what would {Read More}

Well, no, it isn’t. THERE IS {Read More}
