5 Shades of Serenity

5 Shades of Serenity

Here's the second shade chosen for Color of the Year, "Serenity." It'll be interesting to see this color incorporated into just about every mainstream brand's releases in 2016, because it's a difficult color to do well.

It might be a Ted Baker makeup bag, because I love the aesthetic but cannot justify yet another makeup bag at that price point!
