Poppy King, the Lipstick Queen, is sharing her talent and knowledge in several collaborations this year. She has created a signature lipstick for J. Crew, a range of seven lipsticks for the Boots no. 7 makeup line (soon available in the U.S.!), and a set of four lippies for the design house Kate Spade.
The four shades in Poppy’s “Supercalifragilipstick” line for Kate Spade are Pop Art Pink, Fuchsia Fete, Bashful Blush, and Adventurous Red. They all strike a nice balance between classic and trendy, just like Kate Spade’s clothing and accessories.
Jessica has been trying out Pop Art Pink, a richly pigmented shade that looks almost hot-pink in the tube. It can be dabbed onto the lips and patted in with a fingertip for a sheerer look, or applied in a stronger swipe for bolder color. Jessica, who has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin, has been complementing Pop Art Pink with a little bit of rosy blush.
Supercalifragilipstick will be released in early September and will sell for $24 at Kate Spade stores and the Kate Spade website.

Very pretty lipstick color!
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for Poppy King to design a good neutral pink- will have to check out Bashful Blush.
ReplyDeleteYippie, you're back! And, I think it is very possible that all of Ron Howard's many achievements will be forgotten and he will simply be remembered as "the dad of Bryce Dallas Howard". She is fabulous looking and the ads are beautifully styled and photographed. Most of all, I'm just glad you are back!! Oh, and I'm definitely getting at least two of the lippies, if only for the cool packaging.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this brand! Wish we had it here in DC.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back!
Welcome back! I can't wait to try Bashful Blush. Kate Spade has a great campaign for Fall with the lippies, jewelery, and clothes! She should be selling that kelly green cruiser in the ads, too. I'd have to have it!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, you might really like Bashful Blush. It's really flattering and wearable on Angie... a semi-sheer plummy pink with just a hint of brown. Neutral without being nude!
ReplyDeletelooks great, can't wait!
ReplyDeletecan you swatch the other 3 colors as well?
can't wait to try these. i was not impressed with the jcrew lipstick. the color did not work at me :(
ReplyDeleteHow would you compare fuschia to pop art pink?
ReplyDeleteI was so disappointed in Adventurous Red. It goes on a bight, childlike pink. It literally reminds me of my very first lippie that I got in a play set. It's not a sophisticated Red like I thought it would be. And they have no staying power at all. I can put on Bashful Blush and be happy with it when I leave the house, but then it is gone 5 minutes later. Formula fail, IMO.
ReplyDeleteAnnie ... Was in a plane from NYC to London this week and saw a woman seated a few rows ahead of me and was reminded of you. She was wearing a pair of Zara jeweled sandals (it turned out - I asked her about them at one point in the flight because my curiosity got the best of me. Hope all is well in your world.
