For instance,I wear Red Sinner–avoids the dryness of Ruby Woo and stays a truer red than a number of Revlons. Featuring a creamy texture that glides on easily, it boasts a buildable formula for a more dramatic yet casual look. I felt compelled to comment on this post, as I own and really enjoy two LQ lipsticks, both in the Saints formula: Fire Red, and Rust. Backtalk plus BLR looked like a shinier Urban Decay Rapture (the gold sparkles weren’t immediately noticeable), and I don’t even like shiny lipsticks. I couldn't help smiling at the phrase \”LQ user\”: I think it's fair to describe myself as a lipstick \”user\” as well!It’s hilarious watching people’s faces in horror when you whip out a green lipstick and start slathering it on. The constant demand for novelty is directly opposed to everything that Besame and other vintage-inspired brands represent. but most of them usually just end up making your lips look like you just made out with a cherry popsicle. I presume the fact that the founder is from Australia (where standards are higher than in the US) plays a part in this.

I'm tempted by it even though I know I'm not a fan of the Amuse Bouche lipstick and I have quite enough plum lip colors.

Goodbye is a dark wine purple, and I can definitely see similarities in its performance and Black Lace Rabbit's – it's a slightly more forgiving shade, and if my lips aren't particularly dry it looks fine, but I do have to make that extra effort to wear it. Haha, I can only imagine how infuriating that site must be if it's your actual job to organize and classify things. The creamy texture can be built up for an even brighter color and its moisturising formula will keep those lips soft, smooth and full of colour for a long time. The colour shifted to a rosy pink and because the product is a balm, my lips stayed hydrated for a few hours. Containing just 10% pigment that offers a hint of long-lasting color, you;ll find it immensely hydrating due to the Shea Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil in the formula.

Gone are the days of scouring the lipstick counter for a flattering pink shade, because I can keep this in my makeup bag, and know that it always works. It is the original for good reason – it is a super wearable shade that looks good year round and flatters everyone. But I’ve never claimed to be impervious to makeup gimmicks, and one of LQ’s new lipsticks eventually caught my eye: Black Lace Rabbit, a sheer black with gold sparkles. The flat top and colour scheme reminded me of a Flintstones Push Up popsicle, and honestly, the product kind of made me look like I'd just eaten one.Frog Prince, Jean Queen and Queen Bee are just a few of Lipstick Queen's iconic products; where nothing is as glamorous or empowering as the right shade of lipstick. Some mention that the green color was certainly entertaining, but the fact it transforms into a red one is surprisingly entertaining. Rust satisfied my quest for a sheer brick red lipstick, and Fire Red is a bright, cherry-ish red that is like a way nicer, more pigmented version of the red Maybelline Baby Lips. Read on to see how all these formulas adapted to my lip, and note that I'm only one editor with one skin tone. A few years ago (back in the early days of this blog), I discovered this green lipstick that supposedly adjusted to the pH of your body to turn the perfect pink.

It's interesting that you mention Besame, because even though I've been attracted to the brand for a while, I've never bought anything from them. Actually, your comment gives me a better understanding of the difference between a gimmick and an interesting feature: it's all in the presentation. I can't imagine that Besame and similar brands aren't having problems now that a beauty brand's success relies heavily on constant new launches and social media saturation.

I'll never forget the first time I whipped out a compact to apply lipstick on the subway and everyone acted like I had flashed them—never again). Lipstick Queen's color-changing lipsticks are glossy, full-bodied lip shades that are actually wearable. Like Frog Prince this is very moisturising and leaves your lips soft and hydrated - I say this as someone who has only ever been able to use Vaseline as usual lipsticks leave me with dry and unsightly lips - this is the only brand on lipstick I can and will ever wear now. The new Lipstick Queen Shake Shifters are all super hydrating and balmy thanks to Vitamin E and Shea Butter, impart a glossy shine after a few swipes. I loved the wash of orange over my lips, and I found this shade made me look actually put-together on a day in which I had no makeup whatsoever.
