Hello everyone,
If you know me, you will know that I am always on the hunt for unique makeup products to try out. When recently surfing the Ulta’s website, I came across this very unique blush from the brand Lipstick Queen and decided to give it a go. This review will be on the Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Cream Blush.
Product Description:
A year after the world fell in love with Frog Prince, the enchanting green lipstick that turns into your own perfect fairytale pink, Lipstick Queen presents a magical rosebud shade for your cheeks. Unique to you, Frog Prince Blush adapts according to your pH and skin tone to create your most flattering shade of pink, while vitamin E, shea butter, avocado oil, jojoba oil and olive oil help to moisturize and nourish the skin.

$24
My Experience with Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Cream Blush:
Packaging: This blush comes in a very sleek compact case with a tiny mirror. Overall the packaging is pretty sturdy and travel friendly and allows for quick touch-ups.
Texture: This is a cream blush in a pan. It has a slippery texture but is not super greasy. It blends effortlessly on the cheeks and works best with the fingertips though you could also use a brush (I use my ELF Small Stipple Brush), but have found using a brush that tends to take longer to get color on the cheeks when you have to do multiple layers.
Shade and Pigmentation: This blush looks green like a scary kind of green, but thankfully, it does apply as such on the skin. When you dip your fingers in the product and pick up some of the product you will see a pink product on your fingers, the change is instantaneous, like magic! The shade that would turn out on you will depend mostly on your body chemistry, but it will mostly turn in your perfect shade of pink. On me, it turns a gorgeous medium rosy pink which instantly brings life to my face. The pigmentation is sheer to begin with but can be built up to light coverage. I find the more layers I apply, the deeper the color gets. It also has a gorgeous dewy glow which makes you look youthful.
Feel on skin: This blush is not super greasy or heavy. Yes, it does have that slippery feel on the skin. It does not have the same feel as powder nor does it completely set on the skin but it does feel quite comfortable. You could definitely take away the slippery feel by doing a light dusting of setting power if you wish. I also find that due to its tacky creamy texture, if I apply any sort of powder product on top (like a highlighter), it turns out looking more vibrant. It does not cling onto any dry patches nor does it accentuates my pores.
Staying Power: The staying power is quite good for it being a cream blush. It lasts a good 5-6 hours before I notice some fading in the intensity of the glow on my cheeks but the color stays intact for it also lightly stain the skin.
Overall, I am very happy with this product. Though you don’t necessarily have to spend $24 for a cream blush when there are so many affordable drugstore options, you are mostly paying for the novelty of this product. I do think it performs very well and I tend to reach for this a lot on days when I am going for a just a “no-makeup” makeup look or when I am in a hurry as I can just throw this in my purse and can even apply it in the car on the go. It’s a truly effortless product.
