Are You A Sinner or Saint?

The Lipstick Queen, Poppy King started her own lipstick brand in 1992 in Melbourne Australia. She had just turned 18 and couldn't find any lipsticks she liked. She wanted lipsticks that gave her the look of the 1940’s- rich, opaque and filled with pigment. Everything was thin, slimy and too greasy feeling. There were no deep colors or browns. Most reds went pink. So, on a whim she found manufacturers to mix up some lipsticks, a business partner and the nerve to approach a few stores. It became a run away success!

I have been a devotee of the opaque Sinner Red since it's debut. I have yet to find a comparable product that offers the saturation of color and rich texture. If you prefer a lighter look on your lips you can try the Saints collection. How beautiful is the packaging? Stunner.

The difference? The Saints are sheer and have only 10% pigment in them to give you a hint of the color whereas the Sinners are 90% pigment and opaque in texture.

Although she sells them directly through her website they are frequently sold out. I recommend picking them up in store or online at Barneys New York.
