Lipstick Queen's Let Them Eat Cake Lipstick (
Barneys,
Ulta,
Lipstick Queen) was on my
Beauty Wish List this Summer. Honestly I loved the name, but was unsure of the color. Add to that, it was only available at Barney's at the time (NYC) and $45! Well, that was a lot to chew! HaHaHa I was already disappointed with Christian Louboutin and his $50
Rouge Louboutin Nail Lacquer HaHaHa But I was reassured, when one of my readers, Rosemary of
NYC Style and a Little Cannoli (who lives in NYC), went to Barney's after seeing my post (she loves sweet things also) and purchased it. She loved it! So that made me feel better, but I still held off. Well, I finally got the nerve and ordered it! I must say it is frosted fantastic-ness! The lipstick has a pinkish, purple-ish velvet and foil outer package. It's encased in a hard metal and magnetic closure lipstick case. This lipstick pays homage to Marie Antoinette. This lipstick is textured (but honestly, you don't feel it after you apply it...ah-mazing! hate grittiness!) and it gives off a sugary-iced frosted look. It's very smooth and decadent. Wear it alone, or atop another lipstick (accent lipstick). Do you know I would purchase another one? I love it that much.and I DON'T buy $45 lipsticks for anything. HaHaHa This one surprised me! It's my first Lipstick Queen lipstick and if their other lipsticks are like this one, then I'm in trouble. HaHaHa I guess I'll have to try Tom Ford's $50 lipstick. HaHaHa Do you like my
Marie Antoinette cards? They're about the size of playing cards (but open like a greeting card). I got them on eBAY! I was looking for something else and ran across them (in fact BEFORE I purchased the lipstick...so I took it as a sign to buy the lipstick! HaHaHa). The cake? Oh, I just picked that up for a family gathering and thought it would fit in with this post. LOL Have a Frosted Fun-licious week!

ReplyDeleteI think that color looks gorgeous on you Kim!!! Looks like it was definitely worth the money!
ReplyDeleteThe packaging is so cute on this! I just picked up a berry lipstick last week, and it had some shimmer to it, so I think I would really like this!
ReplyDeleteKim, I really love the colour of this lipstick. You look beautiful and I usually only spend a bit extra on certain brand lippies, like Dior and Chanel, that's my most expensive lipsticks, otherwise I try to save, haha. Charming photos. :)

ReplyDeleteThis lipstick looks gorgeous on you Kim! I love that color!
ReplyDeleteI just love the name! So glad to hear that it turned out well and is worth the price. It looks great on you! Have a lovely week Kim!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, this lipstick is fit for a Queen. Very nice colour and packaging. It is more glossy than Matte. For sure Marie Antoinette will enjoy trying this out.
ReplyDeleteThis shade of pink looks fantastic on you, though I usually prefer darker colours and reds on you, this makes an exception. Everything in this post looks so sweet and fabulous!!!!

That's such a pretty color! You look great in it!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely gorgeous shade, Kim! I haven't seen one like it from any other brand - and that's saying something. I'm all for spending a little extra on a good lipstick as long as it's something really different, and this definitely fits the bill. Plus, that packaging is too pretty :)
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee

First I must say how much I enjoyed reading this review...you have the most adorable way of writing, very entertaining....
ReplyDeleteThose cards are supercute and I'm not suprised that you took them as a sign to buy the lipstick! I even though (upon first glance) that they came together with the lipstick (that has a cute packaging, right?)
Finally, the lipstick looks great on you...such a lovely shade of pink. I really like those earrings you're wearing- they remind me a bit of Marie Antoinette herself and all that decor:)

Kim, just like you, I have soft spot for cute names and pretty packaging. This lipstick looks gorgeous on you. I have notice that through the years my love for lipstick have grown and I think for beautiful lipstick I could pay as well.

ReplyDeleteHi KIm, wow I love the look of this lipstick! The color is gorgeous on you. Out of all the lipsticks you have shown us I like this color the best on you! I wish it wasn't so much money! Maybe I will ask for it for Christmas as this is a splurge! Wishing you a wonderful day and week.

Kim, I've always wanted to try a Lipstick Queen lipstick as I've heard nothing but the best about these (now, from you, too--I know it's good!). The fact that this one is a frosted mauve hue--is an extra plus in my book--plus, Marie Antoinette--sold! You look gorgeous, Doll!!! xx T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLoving the shade of that lip color!
ReplyDeletewww.amemoryofus.com
Goodness, that is a lot for a lip color! I'm glad it was worth the price, though of course I think I'd then never want to wear it and feel like I had to 'save' it for a special occasion (or something ridiculous like that)
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Let them Eat Cake! I LOVE it! Of course, I love anything Marie Antoinette inspired. What a fabulous lipstick box and the color looks gorgeous on you Kim. Eeek, those cards are sooooooo lovely too. I go gaga for anything French inspired. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
