Last week I got the chance to have a play with a brand I've never used before, Diego Dalla Palma, so I've decided to write a short review of I felt about each piece too share with you. I was super excited to dive into the products from this company as I know they are reputed for being the intersection between scientific expertise and modern Italian glamour. This along with being a brand that is certified free from animal testing I thought what could there possibly be not to love. Overall whilst not everything was to my liking, a lot of it was and I'm excited to use the products more in the future!

I am not sure if you know but I worked for Lancome for many years in my career and always had a loyalty to the brand and their ambassadors as leading women. When their new foundation was delivered to me I immediately wanted to start using it.
