During a recent stop at my local Space NK I was intending to purchase a new lipstick, that being Nars Mayflower however they unfortunately had it out of stock. They did however have a beautiful display for their new look, La Vie En Rose - The Statement Lip. 


In my frantic I somehow missed the beautiful display (any display with roses will always, always, ALWAYS catch my attention). Seen as though my heart was set on a lipstick, I saw the beautiful model above with those beautiful magenta lips and I immediately forgot about my Mayflower lipstick and picked up the lipstick set out on the display!

The lipstick is by a brand named Lipstick Queen, a really cool brand with a collection that is not only great in quality but has a cool vibe - take the Oxymoron blushes, each colour having an oxymoron name such as Honest Politician - tres cool, non? The line has two different types of lipsticks: Saints and Sinners. The Saint collection is a sheer lipstick collection and yes, you guessed it, the Sinner is the opaque sister to the collection. The colour used in the campaign and the colour I bought is in Hot Rose Sinner. I will put up some swatches below...



As you can see it is a BEAUTIFUL bright pink and wow, I love it and I am going to wear this baby like crazy! I find that I lean more towards corals and reds and the pinks don't see too much love from me however this Spring, things may change! I do do do recommend this lipstick and am looking forwards to my future purchases with this brand! I am very surprised to have not heard more about them.

You can buy this lipstick (£18) in store at your local Space NK or online here.

Do you enjoy the statement lip? What's your favorite pink lip?

    Anyone have recoomendations for me?

    1. I have just been searching swatches of Mac Utter Fun. I wouldn't say that Hot Rose Sinner is a dupe as it is a lot more opaque. Mac Utter Fun is a lustre finish so I would suggest perhaps YSL Rouge Volupte in No. 4 (Rouge in Danger) or No. 6 (Pink in Devotion) however these do not contain any shimmer like the MAC. You could also try a Revlon Lip Butter? If you have no look there then perhaps you could try an opaque version such as Revlon Cherries in the Snow and wear it lightly as a stain on the lips? I hope I have been some help? Hopefully MAC will bring it out with a new collection in the future as they like to re-release products and they sometimes come under different names! If it is released I will let you know immediately!!! :) xx
