revlon's 'stormy pink'.

i think that the worst part about starting a blog is this expectation that you post pictures every day of yourself. i'm the one who runs a mile when someone pulls out a camera.


... as you can see, i have little experience. (there were actually normal photos but i thought i'd just show how incompetent i am). anyway, recently i've been wearing the same make up on a daily basis which isn't me at all. however, having long work days, meetings AND persistent rainclouds above my head means that it's somewhat necessary; i gotta stick to what i know will stay on! so whatever i wore today is stuff that can brave the rain, the hot and sticky tube journeys, and the office from 9-5. didn't even have time to touch up, so i'm mighty impressed.

i have been been absolutely addicted to the lipstick i initially feared the most: "stormy pink" matte lipstick by revlon. their lipsticks are fantastic, and i've had countless people either compliment me, call me nicki minaj thinking it's really original (gurl, really?), or be surprised at the fact that it's a drug store brand and not anything more expensive. revlon's matte lipsticks are far more hydrating than those of MAC, and so i absolutely love them. i initially thought the shade was too light for me, because boy, it's pink. even for me. i don't think any swatches could do it justice. perfect barbie shade. i think everyone should buy it and we can all have some kind of butt implant party where we scream along to super bass.
