Hey guyzies, hopefully everything is well and okay.
Today's post is a simple one, I recently received a PR package from VICHY and just wanted to
find out more about them since it will be my first time using their products.
I've always seen them but never gravitated towards them, maybe it's because sometimes
at Dishem their products are soo close to the door when you walk-in and the sales assistance
always want to upsell some other product you never even heard off, so I just end up never buying
any of their products.
So today is the day we learn more about their products and what they have in-store for us.
The post is all about their claims and my first initial impressions,
from what I gather there isn't alot of claims, which is great,
because some products have a lot claims and then under-deliver
so let's jump straight into it.
