A couple of months ago, I qualified for a beauty goody bag after I made a substantial beauty/fragrance purchase at Barney’s. I got a ton of great beauty products in the bag, and I’ve been making my way through them all.
One of my purchases was a Lipstick Queen Endless Summer lipstick in Aloha, a translucent red. It was my first Lipstick Queen purchase, and I love it. It’s a great everyday red. Very hydrating. Not an in your face red. I wear it often.
In the goody bag, I found a full size Lipstick Queen Vesuvius Liquid Lips. What a surprise! Two Lipstick Queen lipsticks! I loved the bold look of the packaging; black block letters on hot pink.
Vesuvius Liquid Lips is a long slim pen and it has a brush applicator like my favorite Milani Power Lips that’s been discontinued, much to my chagrin. I find the brush applicator very easy to use.
And the color, Candy, a medium pink shade, is very similar to the Milani Power Lips Macaron that I loved.
I’m relieved that Liquid Lips isn’t a matte as many liquid lipsticks now tend to be. Mattes don’t go with my dry lips. Fortunately, it’s a very glossy cream. So hydrating, not sticky, so lovely to wear.
Poppy King, the creator of Lipstick Queen says:
“Glamour is about to get volcanic with these high-gloss liquid lipsticks.”
Here’s how Lipstick Queen website describes it:
“The intense formula features rich, high-impact pigment that protects and nourishes your lips while giving you a color explosion.”
It has no taste or fragrance. It’s not a long-wearing lipstick, but that’s fine with me. If I want it to last longer, I’ll apply it over Too Faced Lip Insurance. Or I’ll just put on some more with no problem.
Lipstick Queen Vesuvius Liquid Lips comes in 5 other shades in addition to Candy: Bare, Peach, Coral, Fuchsia, Red. The pen contains 0.08 oz/2.4 ml. It’s sold at Barney’s, Nordstrom, Net a Porter, and on the Lipstick Queen website, and it’s priced at $24. Made in Germany.
Have you tried Lipstick Queen? Which is your favorite Lipstick Queen lipstick?
I LOVE Lipstick Queen! All of their products are so fabulous.
Glad to know you’re a fun, too! I was late to join the bandwagon, but so happy I finally did. Next, I’d like to try one of the lippies in the gorgeous retro gold or silver square tube
Candy is my kind of shade! I haven’t tried Lipstick Queen yet – it is on my to-do list for 2016.

It’s worth it, Renu. I need to save up for one of the gorgeous lipstick in the glam, retro packaging.
Oh I love that Candy shade. So pretty!
Thank you, Laura! I like it a lot. So good to hear from you. How are you doing? Are you at home now?
I have never tried Lipstick Queen, but I keep wanting to!
I’m new to Lipstick Queen as well, but it’s been on my list for a while. Well worth trying!
I’ve never tried Lipstick Queen, because they’re kind of pricey. The shades you got are beautiful, though.
Thank you, Rachel. I needed to buy something else at Barney’s to reach a threshold to quality for the bag of goodies so the Lipstick Queen lipstick (I think it was $22) that I had been eager to try got me over the hurdle. Well worth it! The brand has other more expensive lipsticks in gorgeous packaging that I haven’t tried yet.
$22 actually isn’t bad. I always see their stuff that’s $30-50 those are a bit high for me.
I thought the same, Rachel. I’d love one of those pricey gorgeous retro lipsticks but I’m glad I found these affordable lines.
Lipsticks Queen seems to make such cool products! I want to try their Hello Sailor and Frog Prince lipsticks, too!

I have not tried Lipstick Queen, but the formula of these sound fabulous! I love the shade Candy, it’s my kind of everyday pink!

Candy and also the Endless Summer Aloha are both great everyday lippies. Love ’em!
Both of these lippies look lovely on you.

Thank you! The Lipstick Queen shades that I got are great soft everyday shades
I haven’t tried any Lipstick Queen but it’s one of those brands that always catches my attention. Those shades are really pretty!

Thank you, Jodi. I need to save up to buy one of the gorgeous retro, classic Lipstick Queen lipsticks in the square gold or silver tubes next
Does the TF Lip Insurance make all of your lip products last longer? These are pretty colors that you got from Lipstick Queen. I have yet to purchase one. Hopefully soon!
Stacie recently posted…Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Ladies
TF Lip Insurance helps just about all my lipsticks stay on longer. I don’t wear it all the time because it tends to be a little drying on my already dry lips but it does help with longevity
I love that color. I have a Lipstick Queen lipgloss sitting on my desk to remind me to write about it.

Oh, that’s great! I’ll be eager to see what you think of the LQ lipgloss!
I’ve never tried a Lipstick Queen product before, but I heard that everybody loves them! Maybe some day 🙂
I like them a lot because they’re both so hydrating. I’d like to try the luxe line in the retro gold or silver square tubes next. Hope you get to try them too!
I absolutely love Lipstick Queen, and these two lippies are so gorgeous! I need Candy in my life!

I am a huge fan of Lipstick Queen lipsticks – the Velvet Rope collection is my favorite.

I don’t know that the Velvet Rope collection unless that’s the one with the gorgeous retro looking square gold or silver tubes that I would love to try
Yes, that is the one – the square gold tube… they are some of the most beautiful feeling lipsticks every. Black Tie is my favorite.
Honeygirlk recently posted…Holiday Gift Guide – Fun Stocking Stuffers
Thank you, Honey, for the info. I will take a look at Black Tie. I need to reopen my Nordstrom charge card and then think about that for the next Nordie’s sale.
See, I am the opposite of you. I like my mattes to be matte. I certainly don’t want drying by any means, but I don’t want glossy. I want that flat finish. I think it’s because I am such a matte lover. I prefer matte finish to glossy in anything, though. It’s just my eye, I think. Lol!

That’s good, Brigitte. Matte kills my dry lips and makes my lips look worse. Hopefully, the makeup manufacturers will continue to offer both mattes and creams. Colourpop, however, has loaded their current lineup with so many mattes, they don’t have anything for me. Hopefully, they add a couple 😉
I haven’t tried this brand before but I like both colors.
Thank you, Me too – great everyday lippies!
I still haven’t tried this brand, but I love this colour! A perfect everyday pink.

I’m impressed with Lipstick Queen so far. Gotta save up to try the gorgeous Velvet Rope line.
I love the name of the line, even though Mt Vesuvius’ historic eruption was quite a terrifying event. Both lipsticks look gorgeous on you and I love Lipstick Queen
I climbed Mt Vesuvius, or should I say walked up it several years ago. And I could see the molten lava in the top. Fascinating! Yes, great name for a lipstick line 😉
It has been forever since I have had anything from Lipstick Queen!
Hope LQ comes your way again soon. Such a nice lipstick brand!
I like the shade Candy, it is very pretty on you.

I’ve heard a lot about Lipstick Queen but never tried them! Candy is pretty on you!
