Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope Lipstick

Love matte lipsticks? Lipstick Queen has a luxurious one for you to try. Their new Velvet Rope collection features extremely pigmented shades, a non-drying formula and a comfortable velvety texture. 

A few gentle swipes are all you really need to make a huge impact. I tried Black Tie, a deep, intense red that's flattering for most skin tones. It's so lightweight you can hardly feel it on your lips. And wow, the color is intense. I liked the minty scent and the long-wearing formula. What's more, the gold metal packaging is reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour — what more could a girl ask for? 

$50 each; available at www.lipstickqueen.com.
