LIPSTICK QUEEN Shine Hard Core Gloss - Wine Sinner

Brand: Lipstick Queen
Range: Shine - Hard Core Gloss
Shade: Wine Sinner

This swatch is brought to you by Lipstick Queen~

This range is inspired by the sexual revolution that was the 1970's.
With an extra surge of female prowess... each shade is the ultimate in shine, gloss and effect.


This jar is enormous!! Comparable to the size of eye-cream jars, if not more.


Look at how much gloss is packed in there! It'll be hard to hit pan on this..
Texture is thicker than gloss, as it contains Lanolin. Need to apply with a brush.

Extreme Finish
Extreme Size
Extreme Impact
(That's what they say.. What do you reckon? Take a look below)


Kapow!! Don't tell me this HIGH SHINE texture didn't knock you out..


Unlike lipstick, this won't accentuate or sink into lip lines.
Wine Sinner is a winner.

LIPSTICK QUEEN Butterfly Ball Shimmer Treatment Lipstick - Goodbye

Shade: Goodbye

This swatch is brought to you by Lipstick Queen~


The true colour shows up much better in flash.
Shimmer with a hint of flattering turquoise to help teeth appear whiter.

Medium sheer, hydrating formula.
This shade is more wearable for work, than NARS Captiva.

Need to go easy with this kind of texture. One sweep
Unlike matte lipsticks, sheer lipsticks slide around if you over apply it.


As with any dark coloured sheer lipstick, it has the tendency to sink into lip lines.
While that can't be helped, applying a thin layer will minimise this effect.
