Medieval

By Livia 3 years ago.

I am not into very sheer, glossy lipsticks. When Medieval arrived in the mail, I was very excited, but then it was not at all buildable and it certainly is not a stain. You can apply layer after layer and blot and start again, and the color will never get deeper. I was very unhappy that I paid so much money for a barely tinted gloss when I expected something so much better. It looks beautiful in the tube but almost nothing on the lips. I haven't bought another Lipstick Queen product for myself. So many of the LQ shades are the same: beautiful in the tube, but almost nothing on the lips. Seriously, I want at least some color for my money. That said, I have found a use for it. I keep it in my purse, and when one of my pigmented or liquid lipsticks needs maintenance, a dab of Medieval can help redistribute and moisturize the pigment on my lips without changing the color. I'll probably use it up this way or as a chapstick alternative. I like the metal packaging though.
