Lipstick Queen Butterfly Ball in Sigh


A very kind US friend sent me the QVC US exclusive Lipstick Queen set, containing Medieval Liptint, Saint Pink lipstick and this Butterfly Ball in Sigh, which is exclusive to the set. Isn't Sigh lovely? It's a beautiful rose shade, a bit deeper than Trance, but not as dark as the plum Goodbye. It's more muted/rose and not as bright as Fly (which I don't own, but I have swatched.)

Of the three that I own, of course, the most difficult one to get hold of (Sigh) is my favourite :) The closest shade to it in the regular line up is probably Trance. I am enjoying the Butterfly Ball formulation very much; it's more moisturising than the Saints, and is lovely for the horribly cold weather we are having.

  2. That color looks lovely on you! It would be too cool toned on me, but I love it on your lips :)

  3. This looks so pretty! I have Goodbye and will probably get Trance, but Sigh would be on the list if it was available here :)

  4. Hi Musicalhouses - these are lovely lipsticks. Thank you :)

    Hi Lina - thanks :) Trance or Float would be more your type of colours, I think.

    Hey Xgirl. It's definitely your type of shade - it reminds me a bit of Sophisto in undertone. You might have a look at Fly too, that's more of a pop of pink. Hope you're doing well. x

  5. That is, possibly, the prettiest name for a lipstick ever! I love it! And the actual l/s looks gorgeous as well! I wish brands wouldn't do this whole thing where they make different colours available in different countries! I always need what I can't get my hands on!!!

  6. The color looks rich enough but it also has a sheer type of finish! Love that!

  9. Hi Rebecca - yes, the Butterfly Ball lipsticks are gorgeous, from name to case to shades. I'm with you on the country exclusives.

    Hi Cocamia - it's a beautiful finish - delicate, but adds definite colour.

    Hey Anna - no IKEA!! Just a general January feeling.

    Hi Olivia - I need to do some stash pruning myself, but it's a horrible task to contemplate.
