I am already royally impressed by The Lipstick Queen, a new line of amazing opaque and ultra-sheer "sinners and saints" lipsticks. So I am very excited for creator Poppy King's new product, a lip gloss collection called Oxymoron, which hits stores this week.
What makes this product so unique is that it’s a matte finish lip gloss. Yep, a gloss with a non-glossy finish. Now doesn’t the name oxymoron make perfect sense? This product does to your lips what blush does to your cheeks, giving you a sweet, romantic glow in a less-than obvious way.
The $20 gloss is available in four shades with hysterical names: honest politician (pink/brown), free ride (apricot), deafening silence (beige nude), and minor crisis (rosy pink). All of the colors are designed to look like "lip blushes," so although they are matte, they are more subtle than you might expect.
Simply apply them with your fingertip or the mini-brush that comes with purchase. Oh, and feel free to blend a little bit on your cheeks too!

My daughter's name is Bella! Maybe that will allow me to win today's prize!
1I'm an oxyidiot! I'm not too much of a hardcore lipstick person, but I'm totally a blush person
2I want it!!! .....I have a feeling im going to be leaving a lot of blog comments like that.
3oooh i love the sound of this!. thanks bella
4Awesome. I always feel that glosses are just a *tad* too shiny for me, and that lipsticks are just a bit too dark. I'm usually in such a lose-lose situation. =)
5Hmmm...are these a shimmery cream blush for lips?
6Wow!! So cool I would love to try these!
7Yes! Exactly what I need.
8I want to try the Free Ride....I love apricot shades
9Ooh, these sound fabulous!
10Chao Bella! I like the idea of this! Matte lips can be pretty hot! Probably lasts longer too!
11As a writer, I like and respect adorable names, but sometimes when I'm standing in the store I wish beauty products had simple descriptive names to help me pick a color.
12These things are great. Long lasting, they wear all day. I've never once had to reapply mine. Fabulous find!!
13I'll have to try them, but I like the shiny stuff. To me, lip gloss isn't lip gloss if your lips don't look bigger.
14They sound perfect!
15I am so intrigued by her whole collection!
16This is exactly what I've been looking for!
thanks Bella 
17Perfect, my lips are already full so I don't like glosses for that reason, but lipsticks are too dramatic for me.
