Illamasqua Apocalips Lipstick

Illamasqua Apocalips Lipstick (£15.50 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a "teal" with a matte finish. It's an opaque blue-teal with a matte finish. It's certainly not the shade you think of when you hear the word "everyday." I'm sure it doesn't come as much of a surprise when I...
