Hey Poppy: We Double Dare You

Tonight, I met Poppy King, an idol of mine for starting Poppy lipsticks, Prescriptives Cosmetics, and lately, the Lipstick Queen makeup series.
She introduced me to an under-the-radar invention of hers, the matte lip gloss.
“I call it Oxymoron,” she winked, “Because nobody thought a matte gloss could exist.”
(In fact, the product is true to its title – it spreads a muted, opaque color over the lips without being glittery or shiny, kind of like Audrey Hepburn’s beguiling lips in Roman Holiday).
Poppy came up with a few names for her Oxymoron colors, including “Honest Politician” and “Minor Crisis.”
Yeah, okay, but she doesn’t have a really red shade, and she also doesn’t use my clique’s favorite phrase from high school: “F*cking Virgin.”
So I dared her to do it: Make a new, vampire-red shade, and stick that title on the label.
Poppy said, “That’s a really good idea!” Uh huh. I’m waiting, Poppy… xo faran
