Over the long weekend, I hunkered down with a new book called Lessons of a Lipstick Queen ($15.64) written by Lipstick Queen creator, Poppy King. The book talks more about her becoming an entrepreneur than it does about makeup, as she takes you through the trials and tribulations of her journey from idea to inception.
Poppy's voice is genuine, and her story is interesting, heartfelt and uplifting.

Ladies, take your bodyguards along for protection when you wear your new Shine Hard Core Gloss ($22) from Lipstick Queen. Creator Poppy King knew exactly what kind of trouble she was causing for us when she re-launched this 1970's disco-inspired product. Think of Paris Hilton's gleaming pout and then multiply it ten-fold.

Poppy King, the Australian behind the Lipstick Queen line, has a great sense of personal style. That's evident in this hand-printed, limited-edition Poppy Mini Purse ($75) designed by Katherine Kin, a patternmaker who works with fashion designer Alice Roi. And when I say limited edition, I'm not talking about a few thousand that will be around throughout the holidays. 
Last night, I was finally able to spend some QT in front of the mirror trying out some of the new products I've told you about lately. The one that really stands out is this awesome Oxymoron Lip Gloss ($20) from Lipstick Queen by Poppy King. I described this product as a matte gloss (hence the name "Oxymoron") but I had no idea just how creamy it actually was. 
I am already royally impressed by The Lipstick Queen, a new line of amazing opaque and ultra-sheer "sinners and saints" lipsticks. So I am very excited for creator Poppy King's new product, a lip gloss collection called Oxymoron, which hits stores this week.
What makes this product so unique is that it’s a matte finish lip gloss. RSS Feed
