Lipstick Queen

This is one of the shapeshifter lipsticks - yellow balm in the tube, and on me (AAB/NC25) it turns a midtone baby pink. The packaging is a matte metallic hyacinth blue. Wears comfortably like the other LQ shadeshifting lipsticks (which wear more like tinted lip balms).

I bought this thinking it was one of the shadeshifting custom pH lip balms. It is not. It is a hot papaya coral color, and it stays that way! If that was the color I wanted, then yes I would buy it again - coverage and staying power was reasonably good. It's outside of my comfort zone though. YMMV :)

This “cactus green” is a dull lime green balm in the tube. Supposedly it turns “tangerine” on the lips but on me it’s more of a rosy pink, like the inside of a ruby red grapefruit. Wears comfortably like the other LQ shadeshifting lipsticks (which wear more like tinted lip balms). For a peachy shade shifter, Kara’s Mood Balm in First Thing delivers better than this. I’d still buy this again though - I do like the color on me, even if my expectations were led astray (4 lippies instead of 5 for this reason).
