    Rhode... I'm sorry.

Transcript

A feeling that what I'm about to say is probably very controversial. I don't like the good pocket blushes. I bought Juice Box, like, right when they first launched. Every single time I have tried it, it has peeled off my skin. It's patchy and splotchy. I want to like these so bad. I've been having FOMO from all of the new spring collections, so I went and bought another shade to try out. I'm not a hater. Love miss Bieber. I feel like I'm the only person on this app, probably in the worse, that doesn't like these. No shade that I got after debating for hours was rank. I'm gonna try a different way of application because I feel like maybe it was a little bit of user error or I just got a bad batch. It's gorgeous. It's so creamy. And now I'm really excited. Tier moment of truth tier, it's it's really not that big of a deal, but, like, it kind of is. Let's go. K. That was, like, actually kind of a lot. Maybe I should, you know, warm it up a little bit. I'm I fear I'm about to eat my worse. That's what's about to happen here. I am so sorry. Good, I am sorry. But here's the thing, either I got a really bad first impression, it was the shade I chose. I was applying it wrong or I got a bad batch because this is blowing my freaking mind right now. I don't know why I've waited so long to try, but this is my formal apology to Rhode because this is absolutely I am very happy I spent my money on this, and I will be going to get more shades. Yeah. I don't even know what to say. I feel like full. Literally no beautiful. I'm sorry, Rhode.
