Lipstick Queen is such a magical and whimsical brand, and there is no end to the pleasure that
I experience with their flattering and long-lasting lipsticks. I have collected quite a few of their gems, but their color transforming Frog Prince lipstick, lip gloss and blush remain among my favorites. Here are a few top picks to consider adding to your collection, and they are so great that I reach for them all of the time.

Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Lipstick ($25.00 for 0.12 oz. from Lipstick Queen US & £22.00 Lipstick Queen UK): This beautiful green lipstick transforms into a gorgeous rosy pink-mauve, and has the perfect amount of cushion. It is emollient, hydrating and nourishing– yet it is likewise long-wearing. It lightly stains the lips– which bolsters its longevity– and when it does fade, it does so evenly. It neither settles into lip lines, nor does it bleed or migrate. It can be worn alone, and while it has a gorgeous dewy shine, I prefer to add dimension by layering it with the Frog Prince Lip Gloss.

According to Lipstick Queen,

Get heads turning with Frog Prince, a remarkable emerald green lipstick that transforms into magical rosebud upon contact with the lips. Don't be fooled by the deep green hue of this semi-sheer lipstick - the green reacts with the warmth of your lips turning them an intense, fairy tale rose. No two pairs of lips will look the same as it adapts according to your pH and natural coloring, appearing entirely different yet beautifully flattering on everyone. Vitamin E and Shea Butter keep lips soft, hydrated and deliciously kissable. And just like true love itself, this enchanting shade was made to last. Lips remain their blissful pink all day long from just one lingering, magical Frog Prince kiss.
