Hello Sailor by Lipstick Queen might appear to be the most intimidating lipstick on the market. It. Is. Blue. As in, blue blue (think smurfs, blueberries, bluejays...you get the idea). While blue is a pretty color (my personal favorite), most of us aren't eager to slap on a blue lipstick. But that's where Hello Sailor is misleading.
Rather than apply as a rich navy blue color (as the bullet above would suggest), Hello Sailor is delightfully sheer when applied. It gives off barely any color at all, but does add a healthy looking sheen to the lips. After sitting on the lips for a few minutes, Hello Sailor makes it appear as if I ate a bowl of blueberries hours ago. It gives a subtle blueish purple cast to my lips. Poppy King, the creator of Lipstick Queen, describes Hello Sailer as a whole new take on the blackberry lips trend--sheer and modern, instead of dark and vampy.

If you want to pick up Hello Sailor, Lipstick Queen has recently been introduced into Ulta. I was surprised to find that my local store had a full display of Lipstick Queen when I popped in last week. Hello Sailor retails for $25 and, in addition to Ulta, is available from LipstickQueen.com.
