   This is a really great color, probably one of my favorites of any lipstick.

   The color is a cool-toned, slightly red rose. It is a very flattering color on my ivory skin and I imagine it would look really nice on many skin tones.

   The texture is creamy upon application but dries pretty much matte. It seems to stay on pretty well and doesn’t dry out my lips.

   Lovely, brightening color. I agree with those who say it makes them look brighter and younger.

   Absolutely gorgeous colour – an intense red pink – in a matte finish.

   The formula is a tad heavier than I like and can feel a bit tacky on the lips. However applying two thin layers and blotting in between improves the comfort level for me. Having said that, the colour is what always brings me back to this, it’s just so pretty and flattering. Nine times out of ten I receive a compliment when I wear this lipstick. I also like that it is fragrance free.

   I’ve uploaded a pic of how it looks on my pigmented lips. I’m an olive NC20. It’s quite an affordable formula and this colour is definitely worth a look! It’s pretty special.

   POPPY YOUR BACK! I reeealy missed you! I loved your lipsticks in the 1990’s. When I was in my 30s, I had so many and they were always completely used up. When I could no longer buy Poppy I began a hunt for the perfect long lasting and was never entirely happy. I gave up and started relying on those boring safe lipstick colours, pink, nudes etc. 🙁 From the moment I swiped – rose sinner across my lips, I knew I was being reunited with a very dear old friend.

   The most important features of any lipstick for me is that they last, have wearable colour and feel good. Which this lipstick achieves, for at least 3 hours with a nice fade to stained lips.

   The colour is (like most of LQ) a complex mix of tone and shade and is unique. On my 55 year old Celtic, face it works.

   The colour is a striking pinky – red with a hint of mauve. You will not find this level of care to lipstick colours with any other brand. They all seem to be straight up colours with little thought for ‘wearability’.

   We all know that expensive, beautiful shade of red lipstick that we have hiding in our makeup, that (Dior in Sicily in mine) is the red you want to wear, but can’t, because it makes your lips look like they are ready to jump off your face and seek refuge on someone elses… great red, hey? LQ Sinners and Saints have many different kinds of reds from mauves to pinks and browns. But they are also red. Weird but true.

   LQ Sinner range is comfortable to wear and is not, an ordinary matte as it is moist and has a sheen.

   I honestly believe this shade makes me look younger… Can’t wait to get more.

   I adore this lipstick. I bought it for my wedding and have since worn it in my regular rotation. It is close to my natural pigmentation, although much more intense, obviously. It is a rich, matte, highly pigmented formula, but very comfortable to wear, particularly for a matte lipstick. I wore it all day at the wedding, with much eating and drinking, and only reapplied twice.

   It retails for $18 and comes in a classy, slightly iridescent matte-black metal tube.

   I took off one lippie because it is a bit drying after a full day of wear, but I have yet to find a lipstick that isn’t, so please take that into account.

   Pic wearing it (I’m the one in the lei):

   Rose Sinner is a creamy, warm-tinted rose opaque lipstick in a creamy satin-matte finish. It has no sparkles, shimmers or pearl finish. The finish is a slightly satiny matte with no dry feeling – applied straight from the tube it has a slight silicone feel but it’s definitely not greasy or slippery.
   Rose Sinner is a true rose with a slight warm undertone, but not so warm that it’s unflattering on extremely cool-toned skin. It has no blue or fuchsia undertones even when blotted out sheerly. On me the colour is rich and succulent, the colour of blush pink rose petals. It makes my lips stand out against my pale skin but not in a stark, obvious way – the effect is more suggestive of a romantic, Renaissance-era portrait.
   
   The lasting power of these lipsticks is unreal – I wore Pink Sinner (different colour from the same matte range) over Too Faced’s Borderline invisible lipliner and topped with Lipstick Queen Shine gloss pot in Saint Opal and easily got 6 hours from it, coffee included. It wore down evenly rather than turning into a lipstick ring around the edge of my lips.
   The packaging is charming; a deep indigo matte metal tube with a discreet Art Deco logo. It feels solid and sturdy and will survive rolling around in your handbag.

   Rose Sinner is just a beautiful, pretty lipstick – it’s not innocent, it’s not sultry; it’s just an elegant, adult shade of flushed pink that looks clean, fresh and a little bit romantic.

   Would I buy it again? Absolutely. Consider me a Lipstick Queen convert.
   Lipstick Queen lipsticks retail for AU$32 at Kit Cosmetics in Australia.

   This is a gorgeous color–a perfect alternative for pale types who want a strong lip but have trouble with reds (reds go fuschia on me). It is a deep, deep, dark pink with a tinge of brown. This lasts for hours but does not dry out my lips. LOVE.
