When I saw this Lipstick Queen Transformative Trio on offer from SpaceNK for just £11 I knew I had to snap it up. Lipstick Queen is a cult Australian brand which was born out of one woman's quest, Poppy King, to find the perfect lipstick. Now some 20 years later the range has grown quite extensively and contains so many beautiful lipsticks in every possible shade, look and finish you can imagine. Poppy is said to have created the brand Lipstick Queen to fill the void in the market for unusual yet glamorous fun and stylish lip products. She believes that lipstick makes you feel able to take on anything and that is reflected in her fun yet glamorous range of products.
Lipstick Queen's 'Mini Transformative Trio' features three of the brand's best-selling hues which are Mornin' Sunshine, Frog Prince and Hello Sailor and they are the kind of shade that you can wear no matter the season. They are enriched with Shea and Mango Seed Butters which makes then incredibly hydrating and moisturising, but for me, the reason I bought them is because of the colour-adapting formula that adjusts to individual body temperature and this means that no two shades look alike.
The first shade out of the box is Mornin' Sunshine and it is described as being a happy and sunny lipstick which works with your pH to create a unique shade of a peachy coral but some people have reported that they had a slightly lighter shade. It is packed with Anti-oxidant Vitamin E and Sunflower Oil and is incredibly hydrating when applied.
Next, we have Frog Prince which is an emerald green coloured lipstick that transforms into a magical rosebud pink as soon as it touches your lips. By reacting and adapting to the natural pH of your lips, Frog Prince becomes your own custom shade of rosebud pink and it is said to work perfectly in harmony with your complexion. This lipstick uses Mango Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Vitamin E and Shea Butter to keeps your lips hydrated.
Finally, we have Hello Sailor, the Lipstick I knew the least about and looks are most definitely deceiving with this one. It is a navy lipstick, in the bullet but when applied a really lovely sheer plum shade. It is described as 'the no lipstick lipstick' as it works as a nude lipstick and draws out pink tones to enhance natural lip colour; suiting all skin tones. Using Mango Seed and Sunflower oils as well as Shea Butter this is the most hydrating lipstick of the trio and I think my favourite too.
For £11 I think this was one of my best bargains to date. Three lipsticks I have been wanting to try but instead of paying out £20 for a full-size version, I've got three mini instead. Of course every swatch on each person will be totally different, some shades don't show up at all and others go much darker than the ones I am showing, the same can be said as to whether something is swatched on your arm, wrist or whether you are wearing it on your lips. For me, I decided to show an unedited swatch on my wrist.
As well as lipsticks, within the Lipstick Queen collection, you can also find blushes which again take on quite a unique formula, Lip Liners, Liquid Lipsticks and Glosses. You can find Lipstick at John Lewis and LookFantastic as well as SpaceNK.
