Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Lavender Lipstick belongs to the purple family and Mint Julep to the green family.

Lavender Lipstick runs purple while Mint Julep is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
