Quindome Reviews: Poppy King for Boots No7

Recently I ran upon a nearly empty display case for the highly blogged debut of the Poppy King collaboration lipsticks for Boots USA at Target.Yeah, I was pretty jazzed and gave fellow shoppers milling around dirty looks so they would let me browse in peace.
Let's talk some Pros and Cons:

 Pros:
1. Price- $9.99 is cheaper than MAC for sure. Is may be more expensive than say your Revlon lipstick, but unless your rockin' a coupon, I don't really think so. For someone who likes to try out new makeup without killing my wallet, this was big.
2. Quality Name Attached- I know that Poppy King makes good lipsticks. Why? I've tried them before. I recently bought her collaboration with J.Crew and really love it. The color is good, the formula has rich pigment and it isn't drying. This meant I already felt comfortable that it was going to be good.
3. Cute Packaging- I like the color of the tube and her signature. Good packaging for items big and small goes a long way with me.
4. Excellent Range of Colors- They had lipsticks for gals with super fair skin, like me, and lipsticks for gals with dark skin too, along with those in the middle.
Cons:
1. Not a lot of pigmentation- This could fall either in the pros or cons, depending on what you are looking for. I do wear some heavy shades, but this is an everyday shade with a bit of color and shine. If you are looking for something that is long-wearing, this isn't it. On average, I'm reapplying every three or four hours. I drink a lot of water, so maybe I'm not the norm since I'm always smudging my lips on a glass, in full disclosure.
2. Wasteful outer Packaging- I already mentioned that I like nice packaging, but these lipsticks came in their own boxes with a little note too. Cute? Yes. Wasteful? For sure. I think the tube itself is cute enough to avoid this useless box.
Overall Review: If you're at Target and browsing for a nice everyday lipstick, whip out your ole debit card on these. Two debit cards up!
