However, I was intrigued and swatched and tried the new Makeup By Mario SurrealSkin Liquid Foundation.

December 18, 2022

Is there an eyeshadow color that scares you. For me that is all colors except for neutrals.

When I saw the Natasha Denona Retro Glam Palette, I loved it. But since it has so many green eyeshadows I did not buy it for the longest time. But then I could not resist any more and decided to go out of my comfort zone. So I bought it.
