Lipstick Queen Queen Bee - review and swatches

The tinted lip treatments from Lipstick Queen are one of my favourite lip products. Today I'm bringing you a review of Queen Bee, which is a tinted lip treatment with a bronze gold finish. This lipstick can be purchased from Mecca Maxima and retails for $32.



Lipstick Queen describes this product as follows:

"Oozing with nourishing ingredients to soothe, repair and hydrate your pout, Queen Bee is an unctuous lip treatment with a glamorous bronze gold finish. Enriched with Royal Jelly, which ensures lips remain super soft and plump, it also contains chamomile and sunflower extract to help soothe sore, chapped lips".

This product also has a honey fragrance.





As you can see above, this is a bronze gold shade, with shimmer. The shimmer isn't irritating at all and wears off fine - you're not left with glitter allover your lips once the product is gone. This is a flattering shade for a lip treatment, and definitely suited to the warmer months. Because it is relatively sheer as well, it is work appropriate. 

I have previously done a review on Hello Sailor, which is a similar product to this, and the review can be found here. I was also gifted with Medieval for Christmas, so I will have a review up shortly once I've tested it a bit more. 

The only other one of these products I want to add to my collection is Frog Prince, but it is always out of stock in store. These type of products are great for two reasons - the benefit of a lip treatment, and that the shade is really sheer, but also flattering. As it is sheer, it is a product you can apply on the go and without a mirror. Any beauty junkie knows that a bit of lip colour can really transform your face, even if you're going with a natural or no makeup look. And even if your lips are super dry and cracked, you can still wear a bit of colour on them as these products are super moisturising. 

If you're interested in a tinted lip treatment, I would recommend checking out Lipstick Queen. They have a few shades available, so I'm sure you'll find something you'll like!

Thanks for reading,
