For those lipstick challenged ladies and sometime ladies, Poppy’s your gal.

Poppy King, the lord of lipstick who hails from Down Under and did a stint as the creative color wheel for Prescriptives went back to her solo entrepreneurial roots. She’s produced a collection with a manageable palate called Lipstick Queen, which is more boutique than department store.

With just ten shades that come in Sinner(matte) and Saint(sheer), choosing a tube is not overwhelming for a novice. And it’s a luxury for an old pro. The feel is soft and subtle and it won’t stain your entire collection of coffee mugs.

Selling in non beauty stores like Lyell, Elizabeth Charles, and Stuart and Wright gives it even more allure.
