Modern Renaissance Dupe - BYS Berries Comparison

19:24
I've got to admit, I have been absolutely sleeping on new releases as of late. I took the 'ignorance is bliss' approach, where if I ignored new releases, I wouldn't feel the need to buy them.

I first attempted to place this order on October 8th, however there was an error I kept receiving on the payment page. The following morning I woke up to an email from Nils at Beautylish, apologising for the inconvenience, and giving me a $10 credit against my account.
