Insomnia Cosmetics Slimlines in Moon Child, Cult Insomnia Reviews + Swatches




REVIEWS + SWATCHES


MOON CHILD

Description from Etsy.com:
Moon Child is our deep berry purple lipstick with a semi matte finish, prefect for you moon children where purple lips is the lunar equivalent of earth's red lips! Want something different? Pick the purple lipstick. Wear it with black liner to darken it, or wear it with a pink shade for a pop of color. 
All our products are vegan, cruelty-free, and made with love. Insomnia Cosmetics is highly against animal testing and animal cruelty. We offer a brilliant line of makeup that proves you don't need to sacrifice quality to be cruelty-free!
$5.00 for one Slimline, $8.00 for one lip balm tube, $12.00 for one typical lipstick tube.



Moon Child is an intense, nearly matte magenta-purple.

It feels very silky at first application. Eventually it does dry down a bit, but never stops being lightly moisturizing.

It lasts a very long time. It does stain, which lasts an amazingly long time if you don't intentionally remove it. The stain is more of a pink, but is still a pretty color.

Moon Child isn't completely opaque, but doesn't need to be either. While I'm betting that you don't have naturally magenta lips, you probably do have at least slightly red-toned lips.

Similar: Embrace by COVERGIRL, more purple and sheer (not cruelty free).



CULT INSOMNIA

Cult Insomnia is our namesake shade- a true slate gray (no violet tones here) lipstick with a semi matte finish that is certain to start a cult following. Not sure if gray is right for you? No worries! We plan to take over the world with bold, unique colors. Try wearing this color with a simple cat eye and lashes.

 $5.00 for one Slimline, $8.00 for one lip balm tube, $12.00 for one typical lipstick tube.



Cult Insomnia is a nearly matte mid-tone opaque true gray.

The formula is almost identical to Moon Child's, except that this formula is fully opaque. Too often odd lipstick colors are not fully opaque, leaving the hint of your natural lipcolor and (to me) ruining the effect. Also I often see odd lipsticks that slide around too much and need constant checking-up on. This is not one of those.

It lasts a long time and does eventually stain your lips. The stain isn't the most attractive look in the world, but you should be the judge of that.



CONCLUSION

Whether or not you like the colors I chose, the qualities of these are great. Insomnia Cosmetics offers other lovely colors as well, and I expect them to be of the same quality. You should certainly look into buying from them.
