Hello friends!
When I was first getting into makeup, I basically purchased everything that was in a mini kit, which included this Sephora birthday gift from 2015! In an effort to find out if all this random makeup I bought was worth it, I decided to give this color a shot!
Color: Rikugien is described on Sephora as a “rose pink”. I think that’s pretty close – although to me rose makes it sound a little more nude than what this color is. I’d say this is a more light, “spring” pink.
