These are the new offering from Poppy King, Lipstick Queen. Non-sticky, moisturising creamy glosses with no shimmer, in varying shades from baby pink nude to deep berry. There are 15 shades, each corresponding to one of the 15 minutes of fame.
I received this as a gift from a friend in shades 9 (a sheer red) and 12 (a creamy rose.) In the picture below, 12 is on the left and 9 is on the right - you can see the difference in opacity between the two shades.
9 gives me a red tint. It's pretty similar to the look of Lipstick Queen Medieval on my lips, but a bit more glossy.
12 gives me my lips but better rosy, shiny lips.
These glosses are not sticky, and are very comfortable to wear. They feel almost cushiony-balmy on the lips.
Lipstick Queen is currently only available in SpaceNK in the UK, and I think these are retailing for £14 each here. That is a little on the expensive side, as you don't get a huge amount; each gloss is 1.45ml. They are a nice option for anyone looking to replace the now discontinued/hard to find Stila lipglosses in the click tubes.

Hi Grace! Hope you're enjoying your weekend! I love both these (v. similar) colours on your lips, makes them look good enough to eat (what does Mr London think about that??)! And you're right, they remind me very much of my Stila Lip Glaze in Pomegranate (not the more recent Pomegranate Crush lip and cheek stain). xx
ReplyDeletewow they look fab. Even the packaging looks lush. A strong contender to replace my lost Mac lipglass
ReplyDelete12 is GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeletewow i like them both!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty lippies! Very fruity and edible colours!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anna - Mr London can leave well alone - no kissing until the l/g has worn off ;) He doesn't like gloss, oddly, although he's okay with lipstick.
ReplyDeleteHi Snafflesmummy - LQ does some fantastic packaging, the whole line is beautiful. These aren't as sticky as the MAC; I prefer the texture of the LQ. Thanks for visiting :)
Tali! 12 is totally you. You'd love it.
Hi Shifa - me too - it's hard to tell the difference in the pictures, but they're both lovely.x
Hello Jamilla - they are fruity looking - I really like that they aren't scented though. Thank you for your comment. :)
I bought a set of 5 minis from QVC in the US. I've worn #3 and #5 so far and really like them. The first time I tried them I got too much out but since then they've been fine. #12 is in the kit and I was afraid to try it but you've given me strength. I just hope it looks half as good on me.
ReplyDeleteNumber 12 looks lovely xxx
ReplyDeletethese do look great - also just to mention that ruby and millie do a similar product which is worth getting when boots do the £5 vouchers
ReplyDeleteThese both look really lovely but I don't think I would pay that price for them. Like you said too little product to make me spend my pennies. Pretty though.

Hi Marcia - those mini sets are a really nice way to try a few colours.
ReplyDeleteHi Mizzworthy - 12 is a gorgeous colour.
Hello Anon - the Ruby & Millie glosses are lovely too, and there is a lot more product in those.
Hi Eliza - it is an expensive brand over here, which a shame because it's much more reasonable in the US.
Thank you all for your comments. x
