Stellar Beauty Metallic Moon Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, Swatches (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.

DM 05 is such a pretty color. I love how metallic these are, even though the gold will need to be a topper.
It is a lovely shade!
Disco Moon actually looks way better than I expected! It’s cute!
Woohoo! 🙂
Disco Moon 5 is pretty!!
It is!
05 looks beautiful! I like that it has more depth and the redder cast to it than Aperture, which I wish had worked better on me. This one I may just be able to pull off, as darker, redder browns look much better on me than mid-toned ones do.
And it’s half the price 😉
OMG Number 5 is ALIVE!
Happy to hear it caught your eye!
04 would be very pretty when used lightly over a red matte lipstick I think!!!
I also adore the shade and tone of 05!!!! so so stunning!!
DM 1 & 5 are my favourite shades – I think you can only get them in Sephora USA. Bummer.
Pretty but I have Milani Matterialistic , so glad for the dupe list!
I swear I had a lipstick that looked exactly like 05 aeons ago. I do like it, I like the gold one as well, pity it didn’t perform so well.
I’m into Disco Moon 5!
