Lipstick Queen - LIPTROPOLIS

by Simone Simons 10.3.16

“Inspired by Fritz Langs film, Metropolis, with Manhattan as it’s muse, Liptropolis is a book filled with colors that tell a story of ‘Lipstick in the City.’ It is a tribute to all the chique women residing in Manhattan.”

Lipstick Queen was created by Poppy King. It’s a brand that entirely consists of lipsticks! Different colors, finishes, and packaging. Totally up my aisle!

Liptropolis is a gorgeous collector’s item that is a sight for sore eyes. I fell in love when I swatched 'Central Park’ and had to buy the whole set to get that one. I believe that, due to popular demand, they now retail individually as well. Still, I am glad that I got the set, because ‘Soho’ turned out to be my favorite of the three. Originally I wanted to just get ‘Medieval’...

The book consists of:

Soho – Vixen Red
Upper East – Elegant Nude
Central Park – Refined Peach

The formula is very hydrating, and the color is in between sheer and opaque. They don’t contain any scent and are tasteless on the lips. The packaging of the book is to die for! Normally I always throw away the packaging, but this time I just couldn’t.

The Liptropolis set retails for $48. I got mine at Ulta, but you can also pay a visit to the Lipstick Queen website: www.lipstickqueen.com.
