Deborah Lippmann Starlight Set Holiday 2013 Swatches & Review
It's a little unhealthy how much I love Deborah Lippmann mini sets. There has yet to be a set I've been disappointed with, and the Starlight set is no exception.

| I mean, look at them. They're all glitters! |
All of these swatches have 1 coat of Deborah Lippmann Addicted to Speed. The glitters that could be layered were layered over one coat of Illamasqua Boosh and two coats of NARS Ecume.
Deborah Lippmann Blinded by the Light is a clear base with silver and holo sequins and microglitter.
Deborah Lippmann Champage Supernova is a peachy pink base with the same glitter as Blinded by the Light. This is perfection over white. I bet it would look even better over a white jelly.
Deborah Lippmann Cosmic Love is a pink jelly base with gold, purple, and pink holo hexes. Definitely my favorite glitter of the bunch. I can't wait to make a jelly sammich with this!
Deborah Lippmann Fantastic Voyage is a blue jelly base with gold, blue, and silver hexes. There is also some blue microglitter in this one. Another love for me.

Deborah Lippmann Lost in Space is shimmery blue base with holo hexes. This dries matte and lumpy, but with some patience and some top coat, Lost in Space looks absolutely stunning.

Deborah Lippmann Twilight Tone is a black shimmery base with holo hexes. The black version of Lost in Space. Same story here. It takes a little manipulation to get it to not look lackluster.
The formula of the glitter bombs was what you would expect from a polish packed with glitter. A bit clumpy, and they need to be dabbed on rather than painted on. Blinded by the Light and Champagne Supernova were less dense than Fantastic Voyage and Cosmic Love.
The matte shades were a bit tricky to apply because they dried really quickly, and the glitter has a tendency to clump. None of these are especially top coat hungry.
The Deborah Lippmann Starlight set retails for $49 and is available at deborahlippmann.com

Cosmic Love is so pretty! Plus, I loveee the name of it. It makes me think of one of my favorite songs by Florence + The Machine.
ReplyDeleteAside from Lost in Space, I'm not really into any of these >_< But, I'm not a glitter person so no surprize there! However, there are exceptions to the rule, because I picked up one of those cool dotty glitters from the Sephora Formula X collection (the 'Xplosives' I think?) and it is AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteWhich one did you get?? My favorite is Demolition.
ReplyDeleteI love that song! It's most likely what DL named it after. There aren't many songs with that title.
ReplyDeleteI'm a glitter fan, so I say yay to a glitter collection from Deborah Lippmann!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the detailed swatches and review. This helped inform my purchase when a great deal came along, just in time. I adore DL polishes and I am just starting to get into glitters, so it is the perfect set for me. How long do the mini bottles last you? How many full manis can you get from them in your estimation? Can't wait until my set arrives and it doesn't hurt that I love 2 of the songs- Blinded by the LIght and Fantastic Voyage. :-)
ReplyDeleteSame here! She does glitter so well. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy my swatches helped you with your purchase. I'm sure you'll love it! I've never finished a mini, but you should be able to get about 15 manis out of it, since it's a little more than half a full size bottle (8ml). You'll get even more if you layer.
ReplyDeleteI love the Lost in Space color :)
ReplyDeleteCosmic Love is now available full size exclusive to Nordstrom. :)
