Is this sentence correct?

I don't know why, but the following sentence just doesn't seem right to me:

We'll be red-lipped twins together.

Is it correct?

Thanks

That both the people were wearing red lipstick, apparently.

'Apparently'? Then, if you are not sure of what it means, why would you think it doesn't seem right?

The "twins together" part doesn't sound right to me for some reason.

Have you any context for this odd sentence?

Did I not use "apparently" in the right context? In my dictionary it says it means: "according to what you have heard or read; according to the way something appears". I saw a photo of the two girls, so I know they were talking about lipstick.

If you know somehow that they were talking about lipstick, then perhaps you know somehow whether they were twins.

The grammar is fine.

This kind of scenario wouldn't sound odd to me -

Two girls are friends.They put on identical red hats, then look in a mirror, then giggle and say 'We'll be twins together'. They don't mean that they are really twins. They are just joking.

They definitely aren't twins. Sorry, I haven't made myself clear. I am asking if the sentence is grammatically correct.

The grammar is fine but the people who answer the questions in this forum usually care about meaning and natural use of language as much as the grammar. With a sentence that is so strange, it's worth asking questions. Context always helps answer some of these questions.
