I grew up in the heart of the nineties grunge movement, so it only makes sense that from time to time, I’d want to relive that grungy look. I mean, C’MON, grungy is so easy. It literally asks you to bask in the ugly. You can walk out of your house with your acne scars on show and your hair unbrushed and you’ve perfected the look! With a little brown lipstick, you will look like you were pulled from the nineties!

I decided to relive some of my more youthful days and purchased MAC’s Lipstick in “Kinkster”. It’s a matte shade but no worries, I didn’t find that it turned my lips into old lady wrinkles as some matte lipsticks do.

Super awkward up close lip swatch!

The website says that this had gold undertones, and I suppose I can see that… kinda. Not really. In all honesty, I actually feel like it pulls more grey in reality. That’s what I see in the mirror though its not quite showing that way in the photos.

I smirked and didn’t brush my hair, I’m going for a look… Or that’s what we’ll call it.

I don’t think this is a color I’ll be able to pull off regularly but it’s different than the ones in my current (and extensive!) arsenal. I will definitely have to play with it a bit more. In the meantime, I need to find some flannels and pull some Nirvana records out. I feel a vibe coming on.

Currently selling for $18.50. Check out these stores if you’re interested in the product!
