First impressions always make lasting impressions. When I first got Lipstick Queen’s newest collection, Silver Screen, I was immediately impressed from the moment I saw it to swiping it across my lips. The silvery, velvet-like packaging was beautiful and the most elegant packaging I’d ever seen. The glamorous silver casing offers seven new shades of this revolutionary new lipstick. ($50 each) The Silver Screen Collection is an intensely rich formula, leaving lips with a full pigment and a wet-look texture. As soon as applied it onto my lips, I felt a soothing, cooling sensation from the Peppermint Oil that felt refreshing, especially during the cold months when lips tend to get dry. According to Lipstick Queen, it also contains a high percentage of Pomegranate Sterols, a new active ingredient to keep lips smooth and hydrated. Another reason why I love wearing Lipstick Queen is that Poppy King (Lipstick Queen Founder) always adds Vitamin E to almost every lipstick. For this collection, both Vitamin A and E are added to ensure lips stay nourished all day long.
I have two shades from this collection: Play It and Made It. Play It is more of an exotic glamorous hot pink and loved the color as soon as I put it on. I love a bright pink, because I think it really brightens your complexion and you just look cheerful. Certain pinks can tend to look unflattering and I hate to say it, but ‘cheap’ if you know what I mean. I found this to be a perfect fuchsia pink that leaves a glossy shine, although it transfers easily, but remains to look as a stain after drinking or eating.
For Made It, I felt the pigmentation was a slight different from Play It and felt more balmy and less pigmented. It’s the deepest color of the collection with a gorgeous, deep blackened berry. If you’re looking for a deep vamp lip, I would try this first to gradually wear the opaque pigmented look.
Bottom line, I loved everything about it from the look, color to how it made my lips feel. It is a steep price of $50, but this is by far my favorite collection so far from Lipstick Queen. My favorite color of the two is Play It!
You can find Lipstick Queen Silver collection online at Lipstick Queen or Space NK (including boutiques).
