I recently tried out one of the Foolproof Blending Duos from Demeter as part of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers. While my Summer Skin scent was delicious smelling, it seemed to be missing some depth. Demeter also has a collection of Foolproof Blending Trio sets to help you find perfect base notes, middle notes and top notes […]
