Vác, Hungary

I am dedicating this post to my mom...

This is where half of my heritage comes from.

This is the bend in the Danube where  where the river changes course and flows south, also allegedly the area where Johann Strauss was inspired to compose the 'Blue Danube'

Garnier Clean+ Lotion Cleanser Review



Garnier Clean+ Lotion Cleanser is an effective cleanser that lives up to its promise in not irritating the dermis of sensitive skin sufferers. I am a sensitive skin sufferer and was delighted to find Garnier Clean+ Lotion Cleanser does not irritate my skin nor the sensitve areas around my eyes. Garnier Clean+ Lotion Cleanser is especially ideal for those in cold climates, where the weather is extremely dry in the winter months. There is only one other cleanser I have had success with in combating sensitive skin but Garnier Clean+ Lotion Cleanser is more effective in removing makeup, albeit it does leave an oily residue on my skin. I then end up having to cleanse my skin with another cleanser afterwards. Perhaps Garnier can create another product as a follow up to this cleanser as part of a 2-step system or perhaps reformulating the product. Check out my review here...
