Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick

By irene 1 year ago.

Defiant Coral is the color that first started me on this formula. Love its genius marriage of creaminess and weightlessness. Lips still feel smooth and most importantly, I don’t feel a heavy layer on my lips icks. Color is a MLBB leaning towards coral. Love it dabbed on for a just bitten look. A full swipe yield greater coverage that still looks polished and not OTT. I’m lemming to try Intense Nude next.

The colour for me as a light-neutral (I\'m a lancome colour 130 porcelain d\'ivoire) was a perfect slightly peach nude, it\'s a pretty close match to my actual lip color but slightly warmer. I REALLY like the colour. But the STREAKS. It settled in the cracks in my lip and on all the un-eveness and was opaque in the cracks and sheer on the rest and layering only made it worse. Also the vanilla scent. Is a GROSS vanilla scent. It\'s too sweet. The formula itself I find quite comfortable, and it didn\'t seem to bleed, but I could never wear this in public. It looked gross. I would add a picture but I seem to be having a hard time getting the badness of how it accentuates lip creases to photograph. This is a return for me, and because of the smell, Estee Lauder is a hard no-go. Moreover the packaging is dated, it doesn\'t make me feel like I purchased a luxury product. It makes me feel like I purchased a 1992 Mustang. The marketing and package, while it is magnetic and heavy and I like that, just FEELS dated.

I received this as a present. The formula is soooooo creamy and shiny, the smell is nice without being overpowering (smell like high-class pharmacy product) and the pigment is nice, buildable, but (like all similar lip product shades) it STREAKS badly. As soon as you get a crevice it shall go there. But this lipstick is very buildable. You can go from a light plum tint to a dark, almost black finish. It doesn't hold too well (when I put many layers) but you still have a sheer trace. Doesn't withstand drinking or eating. But your lips won't feel dry at all.

I received this lipstick as part of a gift-with-purchase ages ago and tossed it into a drawer. I found it yesterday and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did because Estee Lauder Intense Nude is an absolutely gorgeous rosy nude. It is extremely comfortable to wear and lasts a very long time for a non-matte lipstick. The formula is creamy and opaque with a light sheen, similar to a satin. It's not really hydrating, but it isn't drying at all. (I think I dismissed it for so long due to its ugly packaging, which hid the luxuriousness of the lipstick inside. I know it's packaged this way because it's a freebie, but I didn't notice it in my drawer for so long because it blended in with the drugstore lipsticks that I never reach for. I will probably want to buy this beautiful shade after I use it up, and then I'll finally have the pretty packaging!)
