Swatch and Review: Lipstick Queen Frog Prince and Medieval


Another Lipstick Queen review! I got Frog Prince ($25) and Medieval ($24) a couple months ago and the formula for these sheer lipsticks is probably one of my all time favorites.



As always, Lipstick Queen's packaging is so pretty. I love the details and design for each color.





The lipsticks are packaged in a lightweight metal so they won't crack or break like plastic packaged lipsticks.


Both of these lipsticks are sheer coverage with an incredibly moisturizing and smooth consistency.

Look how lovely this panel art is!


Like the fairy tale of the Frog Prince, this lipstick transforms from an emerald green to a "magical rosebud" pink on your lips. It's more like a stain or a tint rather than a true lipstick. It applies sheer with a bit of color that stains your lips and changes the color to a gorgeous pink, or sometimes mauve on some skin tones.

The shade of pink depends on each person's natural lip color. On me, it's nearly the exact same color as my lips, but it brings vibrancy and life into them. It's literally, my lips but better.



Medieval is a "flattering red" that Lipstick Queen claims is "the red everyone can wear" and I agree! Because it's so sheer, you can control just how pigmented and intense the red becomes. It can be a sheer tint of red or a bright apple red. It's definitely a natural shade of red that anyone can wear.

Like Frog Prince, Medieval is incredibly moisturizing and smooth, like a tinted lip balm. These lipsticks have vitamin E in them, so they are super hydrating on the lips.  Medieval stains a lot more than Frog Prince because of how vibrant the color is. Even when I wipe the lipstick off, the color will remain on my lips.

The only problem that I have with these is that because they are stains, they can settle in the lines in your lips, especially if they are dry or cracked. The color can accumulate in the dry areas so the coverage won't be even if your lips are not at their best. Aside from that, these are so hydrating and beautiful.

4/5
