- Magnetic cat-eye texture: essence says the gloss's magnetic texture creates a "captivating cat-eye effect" that catches the light from every angle.
- Single shade: the edition comes in one berry-pink shade, 01 Moonlight Spell, rather than a shade range.
- Themed packaging: a black cat figure sits on the cap, with a moonlit campaign behind it.
