Lipstick Queen rave #2

I know I already wrote up a bit about Lipstick Queen, but I can't help but sing the praises of that awesome brand just one more time.

I tried two more products: Saint Lipstick in "Saint Pink" and Shine Hard Core Gloss in "Clear Sinner".

It was love at first swipe with "Saint Rose". So I decided to try "Saint Pink". I'm constantly looking for a lighter color for my lips, I usually don't like many light shades...I usually pull out my trusty MAC "Russian Red" or "Girl About Town". But now I have found myself a "holy grail" light pink lipstick. It could pass for a nude on me. Most nudes on me look too dark, but this is actually a pretty close shade to a nude on my lips. My lips are very light and not very pigmented anyway, so most colors show up true to life (how they look in the tube) on my lips. But that is always how it is with Lipstick Queen. Thankfully, LQ is one of those brands where 'what you see is what you get' is absolutely true.

I loved the "Shine- Hard Core Gloss" in "Red Sinner". So I decided to try something that could go with more than just my red lipsticks. And "Clear Sinner" did not disappoint. I don't find it to be annoyingly goopy or sticky, I actually like the texture. It ensures long-time wear and it doesn't move or migrate to underneath my lower lip line like so many lip glosses do.

Lipstick Queen, you have a fan for life.

If you haven't already, check them out!

Hi There,
It was great reading your review.
I've tried many of Lipstick Queen's products but not Nude. I def wanna try it.
One thing I love to do is mix all my lipstick queen products together.
Sometimes I dab a little shine over my wine sinner.
Big Bang Cosmos is my personal fav
:)
