I'm an avid gloss user, but I normally stick with nude colors. Honestly, straying from anything but nude gloss is a huge change for me. That's why I was a little hesitant about trying Lipstick Queen's Jean Queen Gloss because of the pink color. However, according to the website, "This gorgeous natural pink gloss designed to perfectly offset denim and all your casual wear. Totally sticky-free and rich pigment for high impact coverage." After reading that, it made me want to at least give it a shot.
One thing I instantly liked was the squeezable factor that Jean Queen provided -- I could squeeze as much or as little gloss as I wanted onto my lips. I don't wear much denim (hardly ever, actually), but the color turned out nicely when it was paired with the black romper I was wearing.
I can't believe it, but I love Jean Queen! My lips felt smooth and not the slightest bit sticky or heavy like with other glosses. The color wasn't too harsh or bright, and it really did bring out my natural color. Kind of like a twist on my classic love of nude, but only better!
I'm going to start wearing Lipstick Queen's Jean Queen daily (and hopefully I can find some denim to pair with it!), and I would definitely recommend it to all my friends.
