It may be sunny, but I had already decided to wear dark clothing today, and the clouds have already appeared as it is.
I bought a tube of black lipstick yesterday, it's called 'Raven'. I have thought about this shade of lippy, but never took the plunge until now. It took a heck of a long time to apply, because every mistake is glaringly obvious, so the shape must be perfect! I was warned by my housemate not to get any on my teeth. I did, about half way through the day after I went to Morrison's. When I realised, I also realised I must have smiled at the cashier, who probably thought I had an unfortunate cavity. I like a challenge, so I wore it on a warmish day, and prayed it wouldn't smudge, resulting in me looking like I had a) eaten a crayon, b) sucked on a lump of coal or c) smooched a very inky newspaper.
However, on the whole, very flattering. I did not look as washed out and vampire-like as I had feared, it's just like wearing an extremely dark berry shade. I did get some looks, but dark lippy is edgeh.
I feel a bit goth-like in my colour palette today, although my scrunchie and my general air make me more of en edgeh bean channeling 90s grunge style, rather than a real goth.
I haven't been grungy before, but I must say, I'm enjoying it!
