Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
The thread started by Sparklingwave (Are they hording LE?) comments on New York Apple, being used as substitute in counters. Maybe someone who has both can post a swatch?

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
When I first saw Queen's Sin, I knew it was just like New York Apple (my favorite lipstick) but more red. Texture's the same, overall look is the same, Queen's Sin is just yeah... more red. Of course they aren't twins, but I see them as siblings! Viva Glam IV is maybe a step-sibling :P

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
It's a glossier sub, but you could try Red Enriched Creamstick Liner, then New York Apple Lipstick, then Fanplastico Lip Lacquer.

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
Queen's Sin - Oh, yes, I am quite familiar with that one and New York Apple. LOL
After finally getting the Queen's Sin lipstick, my mother took it from me. I got to wear it once. What the devil is with that lipstick? She had to have it. She never has taken any of my cosmetics. That lipstick has power. LOL
Anyway, I think Queen's Sin has a slight bit of gold. Yes, New York Apple looks similiar. I think that's why it was on display instead of Queen's sin at one local. I am guessing here. New York Apple is darker to me.
I think Queen's Sin looks great on cool or warm tones. My mother is warm and I am cool. Obviously, both of us looked great in it. This is very rare. New York Apple doesn't look as good on her as it does on me. Both are beautiful colors. Uhhh, yes, it is worth driving 25 + miles for. (((sigh))) I am under it's spell. I might give this one as Christmas presents too. hmmmm

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
Update, I went shopping. I love to wear red, wine & plum lipstick in Fall and winter. I got a red lipstick by Chanel. It's called Red No. 5. This is a higher priced one and it's a cream. It has some shimmer to it. It's not matte.
I did fall in love with the color. I think it's just a bit deeper than Queen's Sin. This is brilliant.

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
I am looking at the sticker here and it says around the sticker Rouge Hydrabase.
In the center of the sticker it says, "Red No 5" and right under that it reads, "Rouge A Levres Creame Lipstick".

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
You are so right. I went to see if it was on the website and it's not there.
I got mine at a department store. I don't know if this is being discontinued. You may want to check with some of the major department stores.
I did see it pictured on eBay.
eBay Express: CHANEL CREME LIPSTICK - RED NO # 5 - NIB!!! - Description
I think the flash makes the color look a bit lighter than the color really is. It's actually a bit darker red than shown in that picture.

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
Fresh Moroccan Lipstick is an incredible dupe for Queen's Sin....

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
^ Really?! I thought it'd be warmer... if that's the case, I'll stop wanting it since I have Fresh Moroccan.

Re: dupe of queens sin lipstick?
I am currently searching to get the real thing. I have 1 Queen's Sin but I am looking for more. If you do a search for "Queen's Sin" you will see my thread.
Anywayz, I went to the MAC pro store last night and I was putting a bunch of different colors of red and putting "New York Apple" over them. I also brought my Queen's Sin w/ me and put it on my hand to compare.
In my opinion, if you take "Ruby Woo" and put it on & then put "New York Apple" over it, it looks almost exactly the same. (Maybe just a little little bit lighter red but not by much @ all)
I hope that this helps

Well I think the lighting in the store was decieving I tryed this a couple days ago and when you do this it looks noticably lighter :/ But I did get a Lacquer named "Fanplastico" and it seems super close to Queen's Sin
