My Introduction to !QMS Medicosmetics

A couple of weeks ago the lovely ladies at Little Black Book PR got in touch with me to see if I would be interested in going to meet with their local !QMS Medicosmetics expert, Anel Engelke, to find out a little more about the brand and learn about how the products work.

Texture Hair (Un)dressing Creme which…
