Bestow your lips in crown-worthy color with Lipstick Queen's regally-glamorous Reign & Shine Lip Gloss. Featuring 6 ultimate shades, each providing a beautiful, non-sticky, buildable sheer hint of color coupled with ravishing crushed golden pearls that give your lips lustrous, brilliant shine.

With an enriched, super-hydrating formula, lips become nourished and conditioned, while sodium hyaluronate plumps and defines for the illusion of a fuller pout, securing the throne as true lip gloss royalty.

The applicator becomes your royal scepter as you glide on gorgeous, golden-laden, shimmering color, with a comfortable, non-sticky finish that's fit for a Queen!

Baroness of Bare (sheer, nude w/ neutral undertones)

Blue By You ($25):

Spoiler

Emanating the free-spirited glamour of the 70’s, Lipstick Queen’s Blue By You Lipstick is a playful tribute to the lavish glitz of the decade, with a modern twist. Evolving the iconic transformer collection, luxe Blue By You is a soulful indigo blue that transforms into a metallic raspberry pink.

Enriched with Shea Butter, Mango Butter and antioxidant Vitamin E, lips are left soft and hydrated, while the sheer, shimmering finish provides easy-to-wear, comfortable, long-lasting color. Reminiscent and iridescent, Blue By You encourages us all to get out in the center of the dance floor, and strut our stuff.

Starting as a bold, soulful blue, the color transforms into a flattering, metallic raspberry pink that perfectly captures the medley of glistening magic within a disco ball, transforming you into a dancing queen in one swipe.

@RGbrown  We'd better hurry up and get it; there's a lot of interest now. 😉

[RGbrown]

@Ispend2much6

No peer pressure there, right? teehee 😛

[RGbrown]

Ohhhh, I've never seen this thread before...so glad to find it!

One I haven't seen mentioned:

Limited edition metallic! I've had it on my faves list at Ulta for a while now, and may talk myself into it with the 5x this week. 😀

[lmi82]

Oooh, I must have missed that one! I'll add it to the OP. I can't wait to see some swatches of Cheers. It looks really pretty. If you end up buying it, definitely let us know what you think, @RGbrown. Same goes for you, @ZombieMetroAnt! 😉 🙂

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Talk yourself into it @RGbrown?  Guess what!  You talked me into it!    thanks for the post....

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Just tried a LQ liquid for the first time....

LIPSTICK QUEEN Famous Last Words Liquid Matte Lipstick

Oh my!  Now I understand all the hullabaloo!  The formula is very comfortable, not at all drying (and that's without my primer) and the color pay-off is fantastic!  I think I only reapplied once throughout the day and that was right after lunch.  Now I have to get the other shades

[RGbrown]

Not dry? Oh dear...I may have to grab one! Thanks @ZombieMetroAnt!

[Tamara76]

Ohhhhh - I'll have to try this!!! ❤️   @ZombieMetroAnt

[lmi82]

Two new shades in The Metals lipstick collection - Noire Metal and Cake Metal.

Noire Metal:

Cake Metal:

I wonder if Cake Metal would be a good alternative to LQ's Let Them Eat Cake lipstick. A lot of people have complained about the latter's gritty texture. 

[veronika23]

Ohhhh I wonder how it would compare too! I love the Cake Metal! On my list it goes 😄 Thx @lmi82

[Tamara76]

These are beautiful!   Yeah, I have Let Them Eat Cake - super expensive and gritty, but the color is lovely!  I don't use it much, though...  @lmi82

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Oh man, these look absolutely gorgeous!  Thanks @lmi82 for posting....

[niki172]

oh man noire metal is soooo pretty 😍. Thanks for posting @lmi82 - there's a good chance I wouldn't have seen this one.

[lmi82]

No problem, @niki172. I agree that Noire Metal is really pretty. It's a perfect holiday shade, too. 

[lmi82]

New lipstick from Lipstick Queen. It looks interesting. I hope it actually does what it says.

I'd hate for this to be another makeup gimmick. 

Here's article from Teen Vogue about the lipstick:

It's too much of a pain to screenshot the whole thing, so hopefully the link shall suffice. 

ETA: Looks like this lipstick will only be found on Lipstick Queen direct and Barneys:

[veronika23]

I want this one too!!! 😜

[lmi82]

Swatches of Mornin' Sunshine via Temptalia.

[RGbrown]

Just got a mini of this in a gwp, and I have to say I'm not that impressed with her color changing stuff, at least not on me. I swatched this a couple of months ago on the back of my hand, and it turned so bright I'd almost call it neon...but on my lips, it's barely noticeable. Same goes for Frog Prince and Hello Sailor...they just don't do anything for me. I really wanted to love them, but sadly, I don't. 😕

I do have some other stuff of hers that I love though, so hope is not lost on the brand lol 😀

[lmi82]

Oh, no! I'm sorry that LQ's color changing lipsticks haven't worked for you, @RGbrown. 😞 Those types of products can be really hit or miss. I haven't tried any of them because of that issue.  

[RGbrown]

@lmi82

Yeah, they can definitely be hit or miss. I have an old Physicians Formula pH Matchmaker lipgloss that works wonders.. turns a nice soft bubblegum pink on me, so I was excited to try the LQ version and bought mini sets for me and my sisters last year. I find it funny that the cheapo drugstore version suits me better...matches my cheapskate personality better I guess lol 😅

[txcatx]

So pretty! This is on my list of things to get eventually.
