She decided to turn that feeling of “emergency” into an opportunity, and she created this product around it.įired Up is meant to be a lip color with the same “super-powers” that Poppy felt when she was a little girl and she tried on her mother’s lipstick. She recalled standing in the hall one evening, waiting for the elevator and dreading a crucial work meeting the next morning, and looking at the sign while she stood and worried. It’s packaged in a tube, and the lettering on its box was inspired by “FIRE HOSE” sign in the hallway of Poppy’s office building. The next product Poppy discussed was Fired Up, a brilliantly tinted gloss that wears as a soft, sheer red.
Jessica was drawn to 12 Minutes, a dusty rose, and to 8 Minutes, a fresh, pinky-red strawberry tone. Best of all, it has a smooth, non-sticky consistency.Īngie was surprised by the wearability of 11 Minutes, a vibrant, blood-red purple that is a perfect romantic fall shade.
It’s offered in a full-color wardrobe, ranging from a delicate ballet-slipper pink to a rich merlot shade, so it’s an easy way to experiment with color. It was inspired by the Pop Art movement of the 1960s and by artist Andy Warhol’s prediction, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes.” His words are more timely than ever, and Lipstick Queen’s Fame gloss is a stylish way to feel famous without having to embarrass yourself on a reality show, appear naked on YouTube, or give birth to octuplets.įame Pop Art Gloss is not, Poppy stressed, the typical sparkly-nude lip gloss that so many young women have been wearing for the past decade. The latest product, released a few weeks ago, is Fifteen Minutes of Fame Pop Art Gloss. The two of us recently paid a visit to Lipstick Queen headquarters in New York, where the Queen herself, Poppy King, welcomed us and gave us an update on everything happening at her company, including a preview of Lipstick Queen’s new products for fall.
