Jungle Queen is a gorgeous luminescent coral that was designed to work perfectly with the texture and tone of animal print. This semi-sheer shade is perfect for a spring day by the water or in the park. It is a refreshing, vibrant and very feminine. With Spring finally here, who doesn’t want to bring out the animal in them .. and out of their closet.

 

Price | $22.00

Availability | Available in SpaceNK stores nationwide & www.SpaceNK.com & LipstickQueen.com

Product: This coral lipstick is a semi-sheer formula, feels very buttery going on, but it is very pigmented. It comes in the signature Lipstick Queen metallic tube in a vibrant aqua green shade.

Pigmentation: I was extremely surprised by the pigmentation of this lip color. At first it appeared to be a soft orange but upon application a slight undertone of red and pink show through giving off a brilliant coral. I expected that since it is a semi-sheer shade that the orange/coral shade would not appear very bright on my lips. However, the coverage is quite good. This lipstick is very vibrant with an luminescence quality. It seems to be a universal coral shade for any skin tone.

Application: The application was smooth and moisturizing without feeling too greasy or slick. Like I mentioned above the lipstick glides on very soft and buttery so you wouldn’t expect it to be as vibrant as it is. The color does not appear blotchy or patchy. Even without lip liner or primer this lipstick did not smear or feather for several hours.

Texture: The texture was very smooth and soft. Reminds me of a cream lipstick or even a lip balm but it does not lose shape when applying. It feels very moisturizing and did not dry out throughout the wear.

Longevity: I wore for about 6 hours during normal daily activities and didn’t experience any negative effect. I didn’t experience and bleeding and/or smearing. The color did fade after about 5 hours or without reapplication. I consider this normal and acceptable performance for a semi-sheer shade.

Quality Of Ingredients: Jungle Queen includes Vitamin E in its formula for a moisturizing and softening effect. It also includes castor oil, and naturally found waxes. This product does not include beeswax.

Value Vs. Cost 
          Cost per unit | 0.12 ounces / 3.5 grams = $6.28 per gram
Overall | I was extremely please and surprised by the payoff of this shade. It is multiple leveled with strong pigment so it can be used on any complexion. It feels very light weight and soft while on and doesn’t stain. I can see this being a staple piece for any Spring makeup bag. It is a bit pricey in this saturated world of lipsticks BUT it is worth the price. This is definitely another win for Lipstick Queen.

Product: The Metals lipstick goes on very smooth without any drag or dry feeling. It gives great coverage without feathering.

Pigmentation: Semi-opaque coverage without feathering or bleeding. The Metal Red has rich color with additional metallic gold and red sparkles.

Application: The application was smooth and moisturizing without feeling too wet or slick. The color is buildable without being blotchy and flaking. The color is very rich so I did experience some lip staining after all day wear.

Texture: The texture was very smooth. It feels similar to applying a lip balm or firm but creamy chapstick. Even when building on more cover, I didn’t experience any stickiness or smearing.

Longevity: I wore each color for about 6 hours during normal daily activities and didn’t experience any negative effect. I didn’t experience any feathering, bleeding or smearing. However, the color did stain my lips a little after normal wear.

Quality Of Ingredients: This product contains Apricot Kernel Oil that easily absorbs into skin and won’t leave it feeling overly sticky. Apricot Kernel Oil is proven to reduce bumps and red marks on the skin and can be used to treat sunburn, razor burn, eczema and psoriasis. It also contains Vitamin E that has anti-oxidant effects.

Value Vs. Cost 
          Cost per unit | $24.00 / 7 grams of product = $4.00 per gram
Overall | The Metals lipsticks are a great addition to your holiday travel bag. The colors are beautifully alluring and the texture is amazing. The metallic pigment is not too overbearing and gives the perfect amount of shimmer. The satin finish shades lasts throughout the day without reapplying and the formula is moisturizing to keep you lips pillow soft while battling the elements holiday shopping. I was impress by how smooth but firm application was and I was happy with the moisturizing formula. I would definitely recommend The Metals for the holiday season and/or any lipstick collection.
