PRODUCT ALERT: Chinatown – Glossy Pencils

Just in time for summer, Poppy King, an original Lipstick Queen, introduces Chinatown – Glossy Pencils to her cult-classic collection. This quirky new take on lip gloss offers your lips a light tint for daily on-the-go use. A lip gloss you actually draw on for the perfect shapely pout. The silky smooth formulation provides ultimate moisturization and offers just the right amount of color. With loads of hydrating and soothing ingredients like Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Sunflower Seed Oil and Avocado and Mango Butter, Chinatown – Glossy Pencils revitalize the lips and enhance moisture helping to make and keep the lips gorgeous.

And why Chinatown you might ask? Poppy said “The Lipstick Queen offices in New York are on the border of Chinatown and Tribeca. Everyday I get off the Canal St subway and marvel at the kookiness of the products on offer Also…one of my favorite movies is Roman Polanski’s Chinatown, apparently it is called that because the word“Chinatown” is LAPD slang for “chaos. All of this inspired me when naming these fab new glossy pencils.”

A bit kooky, a bit of fun, these neon bright colors come in a super sheer “draw on” gloss. Yes! Gloss in a jumbo-sized pencil. These chubby wonders are bound to make you smile as wide as a Chinatown bargain. Each pencil comes complete with a jumbo-sized sharpener to match, and the original artwork on the boxes is all inspired by Polanski’s film. What’s not to love?!

Chinatown – Glossy Pencils are available in the following five shades:

* Crime – sheer hot pink
* Mystery – sheer vibrant purple
* Thriller – sheer scarlet red
* Genre – sheer bright orange
* Chase – sheer lush watermelon



Chinatown – Glossy Pencil (SRP $20) will be available at all Barneys New York stores, Space NK, Henri Bendel and online at www.lipstickqueen.com. For other boutiques and apothecaries that carry Lipstick Queen products, check out www.lipstickqueen.com.
