Gave me more tools to use to take my formulations to a new level
This is another great class from Marie Rayma - this one digs deeper into what makes those super expensive, super lux lotions tick. What I loved about this course is that it picked up from exactly where I was - not a total beginner, but not an expert formulator either. The course was a bit more sophisticated than a beginner course and gave me more tools to use to take my formulations to a new level; all delivered, of course, in Marie's easy, understandable (and quite funny) way. Wonderful.
