    Fun but professional

    Love this for a bit of brightness without being neon for work. Have made it festive!

    Definitely watermelon

    It’s a lovely colour, but based on the photos I thought it would play more red than pink. This one is super pinky-pink! Thankfully I still like how it looks with my skin-tone and I possibly would have chosen it anyway, but it’s not what I was expecting.
