When putting on my makeup this morning I randomly reached for my Lipstick Queen Berry Sinner, $18 lipstick. I haven't really worn it since I bought it several months ago, so I thought I thought I would take it out for a spin!
If you're a lipstick girl, then Lipstick Queen is for you! Each shade comes in two formulas: Saint, a sheer glossy finish, and Sinner, an opaque matte finish. I bought Berry in Sinner, and another shade (that I can't recall right now, but I think it was Wine) in Saint.
Berry is a mauvy-brown shade goes on slightly more chocolately brown, then becomes more berry colored as it wears down. Looking at it in the tube you'd never guess it, but it definitely turned out to be more of a reddish-berry on me. Très cute!
Here's me wearing Berry Sinner with a little clear gloss over it (and after my morning bagel, no less!) Please excuse the crappy iPhone pic of me, I'll post a better pic tonight! Keep in mind that it is not shiny or sheer out of the tube!
Straight out of the tube.What do 'ya think?
Not only are the Sinner shades true matte lipsticks, but they are good quality mattes. They don't dry your lips out, or make them look chappy (though you should exfoliate/moisturize first). I'm so glad I wore this today, I forgot how much I liked this!
I only wish the lipsticks came in more shades, because the Lipstick Queen items I have are of very good quality, and I'd love to have more. As of this morning, all of the Sinner shades are sold out on the official Lipstick Queen site, but you can buy them online at Barney's and SpaceNK!
