Astral Punch 02

Stellar Beauty Astral Punch 02 Infinite Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a vibrant, medium-dark pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. The consistency felt firmer in the tube, and it dragged a bit when I applied it, but it still gave a more satiny sheen despite feeling drier in the tube (sort of magical!). It was lightweight, comfortable to wear (though not hydrating), and stayed on well for five hours on me.

The formula is supposed to be “long-lasting” (as in “all-day”) with “saturated pigments” and a “satin finish.” Most modern lipsticks are creamier and more velvety, but the formula of these was very firm, almost dry in the tube; reminiscent of old school, more matte formulas. I had two of the six shades I purchased break at the base, and it seemed due to just how stiff/dry the bullet itself was (it can actually happen when a formula is too creamy as well!). The exterior of the lipstick seemed drier, but as I applied each one to lips, they softened and gave a satin finish, as promised. They had a tendency to tug on lips, though I was able to get fairly even, smooth coverage, and most shades were fairly pigmented. The wear ranged from four to six hours (the wear of most formulas, and not “all-day”), and most shades were neither drying nor hydrating. I didn’t notice any added scent or taste, but they did smell slightly waxy.

Super Sonic 04

Stellar Beauty Super Sonic 04 Infinite Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium red with cool undertones and a cremay finish. It had good pigmentation–though it was not opaque–that covered the lips with even, smooth coverage. The consistency was firm in the tube but only dragged a little initially. This shade wore well for seven hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. It was one of the longer wearing shades I tried in the formula.

Wicked Aura 01

Stellar Beauty Wicked Aura 01 Infinite Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark berry with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that went on evenly across the lips, so while some of my natural lip color peeked through, everything looked coheisve and smooth. The consistency was still firmer and denser like other shades, so it tugged on the lips and took more pressure to glide it across the lips. It wore well for five and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Wicked Aura 01 really caught my eye! The formula sounds iffy but the dupes aren’t close enough for me to look at another option. Hmmm. Maybe.

Nice shades, nothing earth shattering, but still lovely! I’m drawn to Wicked Aura 01 for a simple berry tone, even though I tend towards more red-berries or purpler berries. But having missed the boat with MAC Açai, this one!
Also, even with all my reds, I do appreciate the beauty of Super Sonic 04! Not that I need it, but yeah, I’m impressed with 7 hr. wear!?
