Luna Twilight Lullaby just bitten lip staining balm photos and swatches

I'm not the biggest fan of Twilight, and this line of Luna Twilight makeup by Duwop never really appealed to me. I found this lip staining balm on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart, and when I saw it was a cute peachy pink color I just couldn't resist it.

To be honest I love the packaging! It's sleek and chic with the blackened transparent case, and the tree design on it just looks gorgeous.

Lullaby is very sheer, but can be layered for a more intense color. It's a great mix of peach coral and pink that really brightens up my face.

Swatch of Lullaby:



I don't find that this stays on very long, although it is marketed as 'lip staining'. To me it seems more like a tinted lip balm more than anything else.
There is no way I'd pay $20 CAD for this but I would by another one if it were on sale.

Have you tried any Luna Twilight products? Did you like them?

NARS pampa lip stain gloss swatches

NARS describes pampa simply as 'nutmeg'. Not overly accurate since nutmeg doesn't have gold iridescence in it. Pampa is definitely a red-toned brown leaning bronze with a subtle golden cast.

Swatched without flash:
With flash:
Used lightly, you can see the bit of gold in it
It looks so nice with a gloss over top. Here I put NARS moonfleet gloss over top:
This is my first lip stain from NARS, and I was impressed with the texture and staying power. It is really mousse-like and dries to a smooth matte finish after a few minutes.
It lasted for a few hours and it didn't really dry out my lips. I would probably try other colors if I can find one I like. Pampa just looks a bit too warm on me.
