At Queen, we do pride ourselves on being classic and vintage rather than trendy. Sometimes, however, the two worlds do collide when one of our products suddenly finds itself (or themselves in this case) a la mode quite by chance.
This season, pastel eyeshadows are in. You heard it here (belatedly admittedly). Sky Living has carried out a review of pastel eyeshadows and we are featured! As you know, Queen make-up is developed for sensitive skins and eyes and so to find that we are reviewed among main stream brands is very exciting. And, for all of you with sensitive eyes, you now have all the proof you need that just because a product is for sensitive skin doesn’t mean it isn’t bang on trend! There’s a lovely lilac, light rose and baby pink and a soft blue and dove grey too. We haven’t ventured into the lime greens and yellows but, equally, if this is what you are after then always give us ring to see what we can do.
Anyway, if you wish to read our review and see what else is tipped, here you go: http://skyliving.sky.com/reviews/pastel-eye-shadow-reviews

Verdict: I tried out the pinky tone out of the lovely Queen eyeshadow palette. The hint of colour was so subtle that I could barely see it. For daytime antics, this is perfect but it's probably too light for a night out on the razzle. Also, I tend to prefer my pastel eyeshadows to come with a bit of shimmer and this had a matt finish. Having said that, a hint of pink makes a nice change from the old faithful smokey eye.

Elsewhere, new website and soon-to-be-launched magazine Rookie wrote a lovely review of Queen at http://www.rookiemagazine.com/?p=1687. Says the beauty editors:
“No fancy packaging, no over the top prices and no ridiculous gimmicks are what attracted me the most and when the kind people at Queen sent me a few products what I soon discovered was that they not only lived up to the PR but also to my extremely high expectations!
Having spent ten years trying to find the perfect skin care range, I’ve finally found it. This isn’t a sales pitch, trust me, I don’t secretly work for Queen…I’m just in love.”
We can confirm she doesn’t work for us, secretly or otherwise.
It’s back to the orders now, dragging ourselves away from crowing about our nice reviews and from coverage of Cheryl Cole’s sacking from X Factor USA. Poor Cheryl, we hope she emerges victorious elsewhere. I hope she knows too that she has the support of (the) Queen!
Have a great bank holiday weekend.
