Sad to see Revlon has filed for bankruptcy. My first ever lipstick purchase was Revlon. I still remember the shade, and a while ago I wrote a poem about it.
My first lipstick: Revlon The height of chic At least when you’re sixteen My perfect shade: ‘Wine with Everything’ I purse my lips on a tissue Leave a rosebud kiss The plastic tube The cloying scent So much more grown-up Than roll-on lip gloss I’m older now I wear pinky brown crème But I still believe in Wine with everything
PS Who else remembers roll-on lip-gloss, clunking into the Impulse body spray in your school bag?
