Queen Of Lipstick

Poppy King, the creator of the Lipstick Queen cosmetics line, found at Barney's New York on Madison Avenue  and I, a lipstick addict had to check it out. The sales person at Barney's was super nice! He told me the story behind the brand. And I'm here to tell you all about it!

 

Not only is Poppy King the creator and founder of the new line of luxury lip products, Lipstick Queen, but she is also a writer, an entrepreneur, and an inspiration to women {and men} everywhere *ggls*. With no experience or training, Poppy started her own successful line of cosmetics in Australia at age 18. Following her success down under, she worked in New York for a large cosmetics corporation for several years. She recently started her own cosmetics company in NYC.

Inspired by glamorous lips across the decades -- from seductive medieval lip stains to 70's disco shine -- Lipstick Queen features unusual lipsticks infused with all the glamour, the fun, the style and the cheekiness that is inherent in being female.

 

 

I admire Poppy’s stylish attire, which mixes feminine elements with unexpected details: Such as vintage with oversized men's watch. Do I  even need to mention the drop-dead-gorgeous art nouveau packaging? Poppy has said one of her inspirations is the decadent artist Aubrey Beardsley {one of my favorites as well}. I'm pretty sure Poppy is my new girl-crush, so as many celebs such as Penelope Cruz & Katherine Heigl... Annnddd Lipstick Queen is my latest obsession. 

 

Check out Poppy's story here; get your hands on her book here, and load up on her beautiful lipstick at Barney's New York.
