Lipstick Queen offers a few different formulas based on wear, pigmentation and finish. The particular one that I purchased is the "Sinner" formula. There is also the "Saint" formula (which is marketed as the sheer formula of the three) and the "Velvet Rope" (which is marketed as the ultra matte formula- I cannot imagine how drying this one feels, just saying)

I am in love with the orange-based-red color, but I can't wear this lipstick due to it being so drying. I have never tried a lipstick (that is not marketed as being a matte formula) that is this drying.

In all honesty, I do not recommend this formula (unless you want your lips to feel as though they are about to flake off of your face).

Have you tried the other formulas from Lipstick Queen? Would you recommend them?
