Let's talk about Lipstick!

LIPSTICK QUEEN by Poppy King Review
Today’s review is on lipsticks! I have the “Discovery Kit” lipsticks which are the 3 best selling shades which include Medieval, Saint in Pink, and Butterfly Ball in Sigh.

 If you want to check out these lipsticks for yourself the website is: Lipstickqueen.com


*Medieval is a shade that claims to be flattering on anyone. The website gives a cute little history lesson about how wearing full coverage lipstick in medieval times was a sin and how women used lemons to stain their lips a translucent blood red color (umm.. ouch!) It’s also Vitamin E based with a touch of pigments and is supposed to look like you are not even wearing lipstick... but “like you naturally have gorgeous swollen cherry lips.”
-I originally liked this product the best at first and I find myself using it less and less. Definitely more of an evening look, but I still keep this shade in my makeup bag in my handbag as an emergency go-to lip color.

*Saint is a collection of 10 lipstick shades with an opposing collection called sinner… now the difference is in the formula, Saint has only 10% pigment where sinner has 90%.  It says… “The sheerest, moistest, most serene lipsticks you have ever tried.  Just a hint of beautiful color but enough depth to make an impact whether it be a pink, nude or a deep blackberry. Absolutely no glitter (Saints are far too humble for such audacity).”
- After using this lipstick a bunch of times I have really come to like it, it feels great on my lips and never gets dry (none of these lipsticks do!) I like this shade for summer to update my makeup routine.

*Butterfly Ball – Shimmer Treatment Lipstick
With 5 shades to choose from, this luscious formula contains Vitamin E,C,B and Aloe Vera to moisturize and treat the lips.  The site says... ” Glides on light and see through as a butterfly wing with a flash of bright turquoise iridescence to disarm them charm your target (Also helps your teeth appear brighter!)”
-In my book anything that says it will help teeth look brighter is worth a try!
