A Look With Taupe Eyeshadow And Pink Lipstick

September 7, 2021

Another random fun fact for you. A group of bunnies is called a fluffle. Baby bunnies are called kittens. Just how cute is that! For today's look I paired Taupe Eyeshadow and Pink Lipstick. I loved the end result. What do you think?

The Sephora website says this is “A mini vegan eyeshadow palette that is inspired by the fan-favorite Naked3 Palette.” It features six new rosy-neutral eyeshadows.
