Lipstick

Some things are decent prices, some a little steep for the quality. Cute clothes though. Very little space available in there.

The customer service here is pretty great. They ladies who worked there were pretty nice. The store had so many cute things. The dresses were reasonably adorable. I really don’t mind spending $ 50 – 100 on a dress if I know I’m going to wear it a lot, especially since a dress is an entire outfit. If it wasn’t the fall, I would buy some summer dresses. The sales woman said they would have more fall sweaters out soon and I can’t to go back and see what they have! The only con of his store is the everything looks so cute and retro it’s going to be hard to choose!

Not as expensive as you would think for Newbury street! The dresses that I looked at started around $ 40. They have a tiny curtin-​ed off area to try on dresses, but they don’t have a ton of space so that makes sense.
I love that dresses are organized by color.

Stumbled across this fun little boutique when I was with my 11 year old one day. Cute clothes, belts & pretty earrings for very reasonable prices. Even my young daughter found things she could wear and buy. Fun place to visit!

Newbury Street was a bit of a bust for me until I found this place. It’s a small boutique with A LOT of dresses… like jam packed full of dresses from casual, work to dressy. There’s lots of accessories like really cute belts and lots of jewellery. Most dresses were around the $ 50-​$ 70 range — many were European brands. The accessories were mostly under $ 20. It helps to have the staff select stuff for you because it’s hard to find stuff because there is a lot of items to choose from in such a small space. There’s two small changing rooms… really small. Service is very friendly and helpful as they were able to pick out more things for me after seeing me in a few of the outfits I pulled for myself. They chose things that I love and things that I might normally select but ended up loving. Quality is appropriate for the price range. Style ranges from fun, trendy to classic. The sizes run a tad smaller and there didn’t seem to be many options for larger sizes.
I get a lot of compliments on the dresses and accessories I’ve purchased from here. This is a definite stop for me when I return to Boston!

Great selection of (mostly) casual day dresses — employees were super patient as I tried on a ton of options, and made suggestions for belts and other accessories. I’ve gotten compliments on every item I’ve purchased here. Reasonable prices for the quality. The two fitting rooms are pretty small (one is a curtained-​off corner without a mirror) but they are workable. Definitely would return again.

Really cute little shop and they have so many options. I got an amazing dress last week and it’s now one of my favorite shops. The girl running the store was really sweet and I had a great experience. I’ll definitely be back for any occasion!

Having had no luck finding anything at two other boutiques on Newbury St, I decided to check out Lipstick for the first time. I was thoroughly surprised at the selection of dresses… they came in every color and were super cute! I was the only customer as it was midday and the girl working there was extremely attentive and helpful, suggesting belts and shoes to go with the dresses, and offering her opinion. I probably tried on about 10 dresses and fell in love with far too many of them. Honestly, I could have bought the entire store, but instead I left with four. The prices were very reasonable for the quality, ranging from about $ 50 – 65. I will be returning here again soon!

This is a smaller sized boutique. Nicely decorated. It can get a bit crowded in here if more than one group is in the store at a time. The clothes are very stylish and reasonably priced. They are designed in England. I love that part because I’m drawn to clothes with a European flare. They’re different than what I am accustomed to seeing 99% of the time. The clothes from this collection flow, function, and are in great shades of color that I absolutely love.
However, the part that I don’t love is that the clothes are made in China. I’m tired of everything I own being made in China. If given the choice when it comes to buying clothes, I’m going to try to find items not made there because so much of what I own is already coming from there these days. And I think the American population as a whole is sick of it.
Clothes makers are tricky… they won’t put the label on top to advertise that part of it. Under the collar is the pretty label that makes you get excited that you’re buying something uniquely designed from a far away place where everything is beautiful.
When I asked where are these clothes made, the attendant had to search the garment. They attach it onto a small insignificant label on the inside of the dress towards the bottom. Almost as if they’re embarrassed themselves to admit that’s where the clothes really came from.
I made a mistake already once not being keenly aware of where that label was hiding. I loved the way the dress fit me, and I loved the style. So I bought the dress. And it wasn’t till I put it on again that I discovered the little tiny tag as well hidden towards the bottom of the dress. I was really disappointed. I just didn’t have the heart once I got the garment home to return it. Not this time. I’m awaken by the need to find clothes that represent who I am and what I stand for. I want a different future for America than the one retailers are dictating we must conform to. Before I even get a chance to get attached to a cute item, I’m checking the label first. No more clothes from China. That’s the stance I’m taking if given a choice as a consumer.

I love affordable, adorable, creative, and flattering dresses that make me look fabulous. Every time I go into Lipstick I purchase at least 2 dresses because I cannot help myself. It’s one of the very few stores on Newbury that my student income behind can afford. If you’re a short curvy lady, it’s like this store was made especially for you! Whenever you wear your dresses outside you’ll feel proud of every inch of your body, and feel like a million bucks. Currently I have over a few dresses that are over a year old and they are still in good condition. Whenever I shop here there are always nice sales associates, not pushy, annoying, and snooty like some other associates at certain Newbury stores. This place is the balls, and you should check it out.

For what it is, this is a great boutique. They have such a cute selection of dresses in styles that will flatter all body types– seriously, the cuts on these dresses really do seem handpicked. The quality is decent and works with the price point– most of the dresses were under $ 100 but managed to look pretty classy. Most of the dresses run on the shorter side to above the knee– not too many maxi dresses.
They have some really interesting sweaters here with some seriously special detailing– a little cutesy for my taste but I think the right person could pull them off well.
Another big plus are the accessories. They’ve got some super unique earrings for $ 18 and fantastic belts for $ 20-​$ 30– I recommend going in there just to see the belts as they have some of those thicker ones that clench the waist– and they’re beautiful (and perfect for dresses that are little big/​too flow-​y and could use a cinch). I’ll definitely be stopping in here again for some summer dresses– I just bought one a few days ago and got a ton of compliments. Only downside is the store itself is TINY and the dressing rooms are pretty makeshift/​non existent — but if you can handle that come check it out.

It’s a little store, one up from street level.
I was skeptical as we walked in and my daughter immediately found a «Cuuuuuute dressss!»
The PopTart music played. I groaned a little, inside.
But then, I started looking. These little one of a kind dresses are kind of cute. The sales lady brought me some dresses for.. «women», she said blessedly, not «old ladies». Meaning, they were less bubblegum cuteness and more sophisticated, with some nice geometric patterns and cuts that are flattering to the not-​16.
Thank you sales lady.
Cute one of a kind dresses, running 30 – 50 each. Cute jewelry and belts too, very reasonably priced.
And the daughter found something too.

After reading the amazing Unilocal reviews I was (SUPER) excited to take a little break from my work trip to Boston and scoot on over to Newbury st, as dresses are the bread and butter (and dessert) of my wardrobe.
So, here’s the good and the bad IMHO.
Good:
— Very well organized store! Solid dresses organized by color on one side of the main rack, prints on the other side. It’s easy to see what they have.
— Designs come in multiple colors and sometimes variations on the same style.
— Wide range of summery dresses in fun colors and prints and some very cute designs.
— Great location amidst lots of fun Newbury St. shopping
— Wonderfully sweet, helpful, informative and efficient sales associate. Good on them for finding such a great hire! She was friendly without being fake and also tactfully kept the dressing room lines moving.
The Bad:
— Fabric, fabric, fabric! Not one dress in here will last more than a couple seasons at most. Everything was made of very flimsy synthetic materials — lots of nylon and polyester stuff. Heavy use of chiffon.
— Construction of these garments is weak. Stitching isn’t reinforced and linings are very thin. Expect loose threads over time.
— A lot of the dresses use smocking and shirring, which means that on some people the fabrics will ride up and bunch awkwardly. This can be avoided with a belt, but in general I’ve never been a fan of these sewing techniques.
Because of the fabrics and construction, I didn’t think $ 59 or $ 79 (the two most common price points) was that great a deal. The dresses are priced reasonably but not a steal.
This is absolutely somewhere I’d go to grab a cute dress I intend to wear once or twice, whether it’s to a wedding or a party or just to be on trend. I did actually buy one little summer dress in a navy blue shade (that hides fabric flaws) and a very pretty drape in the back. Gals on a budget with social agendas to dress for should definitely bookmark this place!
Bottom line: This is a place to shop for the season, not to fill out your wardrobe.

Walked into this place today, drawn in by the dresses outside and in the window. At first I felt like it was very tight and wouldn’t be able to shop very comfortably… Within 20 seconds of getting to the rack, I found two-​three dresses, as did my friends. Within five minutes our arms were full of absolutely great dresses. We all took our turns going in and out of the dressing rooms, each time the staff commenting HELPFULLY… Not trying to push more sales… Honestly huge helps! I walked out with four dresses and accessories for under $ 300… On Newbury street! I will make a point to come back here at least once a season, hopefully the same staff is there, they were awesome!

I rarely shop and I only get things I really need.
have been hunting for A (that means ONE) summer dress for a while but couldn’t find anything I really like.
I rarely shop but it doesn’t mean I dont buy expensive things. If I really like it, I spend money on it.
When my boyfriend pointed out the shop from the street, I said, «well… it’s on Newbury street so I dont think it is my type of store.», which I meant to say it would be over price crap like other designer clothes.
BUT, to my surprise, Lipstick was FULL of pretty summer dress and I could see that it was hand picked.
Salespersons were super helpful and I ended up buying three dresses. My bf was shocked but oh well… I loved them all!

Up until a few weeks ago I had no idea Lipstick existed, and I’m happy to spread the word now because I had an amazing time there this past Saturday.
I was lured in by a Scoutmob deal (I don’t usually frequent boutiques), and initially skeptical at how small the shop was, but it turns out that every dress, belt and sweater is hand-​picked and something I would love to have in my closet; no hunting through racks here.
The two ladies on staff were beyond friendly — they made it their mission to ensure I left in love with what I bought. I modeled about eight outfits (from perfect-​for-​the-​office to I-​just-​wanna-​party) for them before we settled on a gorgeous crimson dress that I never would have picked up without encouragement.
With such stellar customer service and affordable pricing, I will definitely return to fill out my spring/​summer wardrobe.

i freaking adore lipstick. i love that it’s a small boutique off newbury street, i love the selection, and i love how friendly everyone working here is :)
i came in with a scoutmob deal and the sales assistant was very helpful and REALLY sweat. some of their items are a bit more expensive than your average forever or h&m but they do have sales pretty often. for example, i came in the middle of winter and all of their sweaters were on sale (awesome). plus everything you find here is going to be unique and also pretty damn comfortable. they have great casual clothing as well as some really cute items for special occasions. i already can’t wait to wear my new dress to a friend’s wedding this summer.
i’ll be back soon!

It’s a great place to find your perfect outfit!!! One of my friend recommended this place to me while I was still in Boston for school. Now I moved to New York for work and almost every time I go back to Boston, I will stop by!
The clothes are young, hip unique and not expensive at all! There are lots of choices, from shirt, skirt and dresses, to the cute accessories like earrings, hair pieces and bells. Everyone works there is honest and helpful, sometimes they’ll find the right dress from the shop for me! I have couple items there that are my go-​to dresses and got plenty compliments:)

If you haven’t been to Lipstick, you have to check it out!!! I went there when I went back to Boston to visit some old friends, and I was so happy that I found this place — it was the highlight of my trip!
This place is definitely a must-​go place on Newbury Street.
Beautiful dresses with the most affordable prices in this cozy boutique. Also, the owner is super nice and helpful. This is definitely the best shopping experience I’ve ever had in Boston.

If you’re into über-​fem frocks like myself then you would H.E.A.R.T Lipstick.
This place is cute, cozy, inexpensive and the two shop owners are lovely and insightful. I purchased a ridiculously adorable butterfly and striped dress for about $ 60 and got loads of compliments when I wore it.
They have equally adorable accessories ranging from sparking stud earrings to statement necklaces costing anywhere from $ 12 to $ 30.
Lipstick has given me yet another reason to overspend on the notorious Newbury St.
