Fenty Beauty Summer Nights Iridescent Lip Luminzer Trio Review, Photos, Swatches
Summer Nights
Fenty Beauty Summer Nights Iridescent Lip Luminzer Trio ($32.00 for 0.30 oz.) contains three iridescent glosses that are designed to “apply sheer” so they can be worn “solo for a prismatic wash of color” or over another lipstick “for endless new combinations.” I found that this trio was a little more pigmented than sheer–more like semi-sheer to medium in coverage. The gloss formula was smooth, non-sticky, and comfortable wear with decent longevity given that they were a sheerer, non-sticky formulation (tackiness usually helps improve wear times in my experience). I didn’t detect any scent or taste, but vanillin is listed as an ingredient, so I’d expect that those with better noses may detect a subtle vanilla scent.
Ingredients
Summer Nights
LELimited Edition. $32.00.
Snake Skin
Snake Skin is a medium, reddish-brown base with gold-to-green shifting pearl that gave it a more metallic finish. It had medium coverage, which looked more opaque from afar as the high-shine finish paired with the intense, reflective finish made it hard to detect the sheerness. The texture felt smooth, lightweight, and wasn’t sticky. It wore well for four and a half hours and was moisturizing over time.

Mermaid Thighs
Mermaid Thighs is a muted, medium-dark lavender with subtle, cool undertones and coo blue and lavender pearl. It had semi-sheer coverage that applied fairly evenly across my lips in smooth, fluid strokes. The gloss was lightweight, smooth without being tacky or thick, and easy to work with. It lasted for four hours and was hydrating while worn.

Vaycray
Vaycray is a medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and warmer gold and peach shimmer. It had sheer color payoff, as described, that applied fairly evenly and had good shimmer dispersion. There was a touch of product that sat in my deeper lip lines, though the glossy finish and reflective pearl hid it from visibility from a normal viewing distance. It wore well for four hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Snake Skin is so unique! I wish they sold it on its own.
This is the product I’m really salivating over. I’ve really been into glosses lately and these are interesting colors that I don’t have in my collection. If they’re anything like the Galaxy glosses or the Gloss Bomb I know they’re going to be great.
I got both trios… I honestly didnt think I would use the snakeskin and mermaid thighs. I loved all the others on photos. Then when I tried all of them on I fell in loooove! I use exactly these two I thought I wouldnt everyday lol! I like the mermaid over deep red too! Snakeskin makes nude lip more interesting… love love love! Im surprised myself how much I enjoy these.
Cathy, oh YES to wearing Mermaid Thighs over deep or dark reds! Wore it over UD Bad Blood, and WOW!
This is the thing from this collection I was most interested in and these swatches look beautiful! Definitely going on the wishlist. Thank you for doing what you do, Christine!
Having bought this trio last Saturday based almost entirely on how great your lip swatches of these looked, I can report that I’m one very happy camper! The transformative effects over lipsticks (preferably mattes) is just AMAZING. My favorite is Snakeskin!
I got this earlier, glad you liked it too! Loved the colours and the price was too good to pass up. Snake Skin/Mermaid Thighs are both surprisingly wearable worn more sheerly.
Snakeskin is so pretty.
You all just convinced me that I need this in my life ?
This is a beautiful set!
I kind of despise glosses, but Snake Skin is breaking my heart in a good way; I might have to get it and wear it as a “blotted gloss” as I’ve done with the small handful of glosses I acquired for their uniqueness. Also, really glad I already own Lunar Module — completely removes the temptation to own that stunning color combo with the unfortunate mermaid reference.
Oh wait, I completely missed that this is a set. Maybe I’ll get it and be kind to my office mates in giving away the other two.
I absolutely had no intention to buy these even after the review, but when I tried them on wow they were so unique, and, dare I say, “summer goth”. I couldn’t find a dupe for these.
