Lipstick Queen Must-Haves

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Lipstick Queen is such a magical and whimsical brand, and there is no end to the pleasure that
I experience with their flattering and long-lasting lipsticks. I have collected quite a few of their gems, but their color transforming Frog Prince lipstick, lip gloss and blush remain among my favorites. Here are a few top picks to consider adding to your collection, and they are so great that I reach for them all of the time.
Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Lipstick ($25.00 for 0.12 oz. from Lipstick Queen US & £22.00 Lipstick Queen UK): This beautiful green lipstick transforms into a gorgeous rosy pink-mauve, and has the perfect amount of cushion. It is emollient, hydrating and nourishing– yet it is likewise long-wearing. It lightly stains the lips– which bolsters its longevity– and when it does fade, it does so evenly. It neither settles into lip lines, nor does it bleed or migrate. It can be worn alone, and while it has a gorgeous dewy shine, I prefer to add dimension by layering it with the Frog Prince Lip Gloss.

According to Lipstick Queen,

Get heads turning with Frog Prince, a remarkable emerald green lipstick that transforms into magical rosebud upon contact with the lips. Don't be fooled by the deep green hue of this semi-sheer lipstick - the green reacts with the warmth of your lips turning them an intense, fairy tale rose. No two pairs of lips will look the same as it adapts according to your pH and natural coloring, appearing entirely different yet beautifully flattering on everyone. Vitamin E and Shea Butter keep lips soft, hydrated and deliciously kissable. And just like true love itself, this enchanting shade was made to last. Lips remain their blissful pink all day long from just one lingering, magical Frog Prince kiss.

Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Lip Gloss ($25.00 for 0.2 oz. from Lipstick Queen US and from Lipstick Queen UK): On me, this delectable green shimmer-laden lip gloss transforms into the most fetching pink-mauve that is unlike any shade in my collection. It boasts a stunning shimmer and shine, has no detectable scent or taste, and it lasts for several hours without fail. It is non-sticky, feels exceedingly comfortable on the lips, and it contains lots of natural conditioning oils that offer nourishment and hydration. Furthermore, hyaluronic acid retains moisture and offers plumping without any discomfort. Needless to say, this glistening, gorgeous green tube is a great conversation  piece that will make your friends, well, green with envy.  The doe foot applicator  perfectly fits into the contour of the lips, and deposits color evenly and effortlessly.

The texture of this formula is a soft gel-cream that can be sheered out or built up effortlessly. It glides across the skin without incident, it deposits color evenly, and it neither emphasizes fine lines, nor does it settle into pores to accentuate them. While this beauty can be applied with fingers or a brush, I tend to prefer to use my fingers with this particular blush. The finish has a very soft and subtle sheen that creates a natural, and highly sought after, glow from within. I have actually used it on my lips as well, and think that it is gorgeous in that application as well. Furthermore, I have found that layering it under Frog Prince Lip Gloss creates an added level of depth and visual interest.

Lipstick Queen Altered Universe Time Warp Lip Gloss ($22.00 from Lipstick Queen US & £20.00 from Lipstick Queen UK): I have always had a penchant for glistening lip glosses that are beautiful enough to be worn alone, or as a topper to my favorite lipsticks, and this one definitely delivers. Described as a rose-gold champagne tint, this gorgeous sheer shimmering lip gloss features stunning multi-colored shimmer and a very glossy finish. It is mid-weight, and very comfortable on the lips, and it is lacking in the stickiness that, in my opinion, is neither comfortable, nor terribly practical (since everything sticks to it).

  1. Those green mood-lipsticks are interesting. At first I thought they were emerald green, and that would be a hard pass for me. But the pinks are lovely.
