Stellar Beauty Metallic Moon Lipsticks (Part 2)

Disco Moon 04

Stellar Beauty Disco Moon 04 Metallic Moon Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, yellow gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had medium coverage, which did not build well as it seemed to just shift and move the initial layer around and yielded a patchier, more uneven result that didn’t offer much more coverage. This one might work better for layering than on its own. The texture was rougher compared to most shades in the line-up–it seemed to have more shimmer and have some larger, glittery particles, too. It lasted for four hours but settled into lip lines and moved around a lot.

The formula is supposed to be “velvety soft” with “full coverage” that isn’t drying. There are five shades in the range (at least, at this time), and the pigmentation varied from semi-opaque to opaque. They had a denser, firmer texture that didn’t drag uncomfortably across the lips, but it took greater pressure than the average lipstick to apply across the lips. The result on the lips was thinner but still had coverage. There was no discernible scent or taste to me, except some of the waxiness of the base formula came through.

Disco Moon 05

Stellar Beauty Metallic Moon Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, reddish brown with cooler undertones and a fine, pearly sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips fairly evenly and smoothly, though I had some trouble getting the lipstick to apply and adhere to the inner portion of my lips (which are a bit more emollient). The texture was firm, dense, and took greater pressure to get to apply, though it did not drag. This shade wore well for six hours and was non-drying.
