Nothing to Disclose

For the third year in a row, I'm going to give you the lowdown of all that I saw (and am allowed to show you) at Cosmoprof.

So let's walk a day in my shoes. **If there's a brand you're curious about and I haven't posted, let me know in the comments. I saw a lot so you never know!**
