Plan 9

Kat Von D Plan 9 Studded Kiss Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as an "opaque, deep sea foam green." It's a muted, medium-dark emerald green with cool undertones and a fine emerald green pearl. It had semi-opaque color payoff with light slip so it didn't tug on the lips. It could have applied more evenly, though, and it may be a shade where a good lip liner or lip pencil may take it the rest of the way. It does stain the lips quickly, though the color lasted for six hours on me and was neither drying nor hydrating. NYX Risque (P, $6.00) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (90% similar). KVD Beauty Plan 9 (P, $19.00) is more shimmery, less pigmented, lower quality (90% similar). Guerlain #111 (P, $36.00) is darker (90% similar). ColourPop Bunny (LE, $7.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). Bite Beauty Mellan's Luck (LE, $26.00) is less shimmery, warmer (85% similar).
