So, I did half faces, one with warm side of BBB, CP get paid, and a Peripera brownish mascara. (They/I have a few, but the labels fell off and my Korean is non-existent.) With CP mind trick. Blush, CFX spiced cinnamon. The other side was cooler tones of BBB, joy ride liner, wine o’clock mascara. Blush, CFX sweet mulberry. L/s CP Scorpio moon. Both sides are decent, but I hope I don’t run into people on my dog walk, though no one would say a word, until I’m gone.
