I quite like the packaging, although it looks a bit Pout-ish. Really looking forward to trying a couple of the lipsticks though.
At £12, they're still £5 cheaper than the LQ Saints, and I'm saving my £5 off vouchers so I can get a couple for £7. Boots often has 3 for 2 on No 7 too.
I think it's a very, very smart move for Ms King and for Boots. She hasn't devalued her brand by making it cheap as chips, she might get some No 7 customers interested in the rest of her line (like the Butterfly Ball lipsticks etc) and I think these will sell like hotcakes. A very good collaboration.
This range is only going to interest me if the consistency and feel of the lipsticks are closer to Poppy King ones than to regular No7.
Also, I'd love to know what the demographic profile of the typical No7 cosmetics customer is. It has always seemed a terribly middle aged to retired person C2 type range to me and while I think some of the skincare is good I just cannot raise any interest in the makeup at all (I've got the odd lipstick from free gifts but that's it). It seems a very odd collaboration to me because I can't see the typical No7 customer, as I see her, having the faintest idea who Poppy King is.
I haven't tried the products but I assume that they are nice. But as for the design, I don't like it at all not to say more... Especially the lipsticks!
I think I'd rather have the original LQ lip colours than these copies. If that's the right word. I suppose Boots is only interested in cashing in on the name.

Got to agree, they look very naff and cheap to me. Definitely a 30 second design job.
I agree - found the colours and packaging underwhelming x

I agree ther packagaing is nothing special...a few dots does nothing for me haha xox

I wish that we had these in Canada. I've tried several LQ's lipsticks and loved them.
