I picked this gloss up in Space NK recently, where the Lipstick Queen range is available in the UK.
The Lipstick Queen range is the brainchild of Poppy King, who set the brand up when she was unable to find the lipsticks she wanted "They were all thin, slimy and too greasy feeling. Plus there were no deep colors or browns and most reds went pink. I wanted lipsticks that gave me the look of the 1940’s. Rich, opaque and filled with pigment."
As I say, I picked the shade "Infinite" up from the "Big Bang" lipgloss line recently, and it has become a pretty staple shade for me - these kinds of peachy shades shot through with golden sheens, are my current "go to" choice for a nude or everyday lip. I still haven't found a nude lipstick that works for me, and I prefer the casual look of a gloss for work etc, it seems to look a little less formal...
I've been very happy with the formula of the gloss, its not too sticky or gloopy, and gives a pretty effect... You seem to get a LOT of product in the tube - 11mls/0.37 floz. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact price, but I'd guess around £15? The packaging does not decieve by having thick walls etc...The applicator is doe foot, which works fine for shades like this, but for a red or plum shade, might be a pain - I often find brushes are easier with richer shades like that. The shot to the left was taken in natural light...Here is a shot with flash..
I also have a butterfly ball lipstick from the range, which I will post separately!
Have you tried anything from the range?

I haven't even heard of this brand! Looks lovely though, the packaging is great.

I haven't tried anything fromn the brand but are intrigued by the 'sinner' lipsticks which are meant to be 90% pigment and so very opaque. I'd love the butterfly ball lipsticks if they weren't sheer, the green sparkle really entices me. That gloss is a really pretty colour but i must say that even though lipsticks are my absolute favourite beauty product, and this is a brand specialising in lip products, i just haven't been that drawn into them.
that's a really pretty colour! i went in to space nk the other day and saw them actually, thought they looked nice but i'm not a big gloss wearer and don't think i could pay that for something i know i'll not really use but just look at and think it's pretty, haha!
I want it!!! lol

@Cat - I only discovered the range recently through LondonMakeupGirls fab blog... I really like it so far...
@Lillian Funny Face - I have a butterfly ball one - I'll show swatches of that soon - they are sheer, but it means you can wear more "difficult" shades with ease - great for the less brave amongst us lol
@Rebecca - def no point buying something like this if you wont use ut up! They are pretty though...
@FordGregal - Lol x
