The Sultry Season: Estee Lauder Plumberry Lipstick
Estee Lauder ‘Pure Color’ Long Lasting Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a plum-tinged red with subtle fuchsia shimmer. It has a medium glossy glint and rich, opaque color. The coverage is excellent, and it feels lightweight despite its pigmentation. It’s also more moisturizing than your average lipstick, which makes it comfortable to wear. I get about five hours of wear with this shade in particular, because it is more pigmented. Estee Lauder’s lipsticks are scented with a lightly sweetened fig but are taste-free to me.
Is this the right red for you? Would you wear it?
The Sultry Season is a series of posts featuring deep, rich shades of brown, berry, plum, and wine lipsticks and lipglosses — just right for autumn — that runs through October 2010.

That lipstick looks great on you! The coverage looks incredible, and I love the subtle shimmer.
Lovely! The name is so cute, Plumberry?! Even though it isn't plum haha
i love the shape of youre lips! xx Ilja
Thanks, Ilja!
i get a sample free with purchase of one of the pure colour lipsticks and i had to take it off and rinse my mouth out because the taste got right down my throat and stuck there. i have always hated figs though, so it's probably that.
...you rock with plum's shades.... .......I should find a brown-plum shade that matches my olive skin.... p.s. you always pair gorgeous eye makeup with dark lips!
Thank you, Anna!
Random question, can you do some more reviews on napoleon perdis, or NP set cosmetics. I really like their line, and I'd like to know your input. Thanks for your great blog, I read it everyday!
Thanks for the suggestion!
whats on your cheeks Christine? you look amazingly glowy
I think it's just theBalm's Mary Lou-Manizer!
I love this color!!
Now this is a Classy looking Red ..... love it!
Did you condition your lips before putting on the lipstick? Btw, you look lovely in that colour :)
Nope, I don't do anything special. I usually swatch 10-15 lipsticks/glosses in a sitting, so it seems silly to prep, lol!
Such a great color!
viva glam cyndi dupe?
wow very pretty ! & i agree it looks great on you :)
Thanks, Jennifer!
This is gorgeous!! Definitely putting it on my list
So pretty!
Oh wow, I think I've found my everyday lip colour.
That's pretty!
this is kinda what crosswires looks like on me except a tiny bit lighter! its very nice
Wow, I can't believe Crosswires looks SO different on you than it does me, lol!
Yeah all the lipsticks look darker on me! My lips are very pigmented. But now that i know this I can kinda judge what they will look like on me from your photos! BTW I tried UD naked which I loved in your photos but it just looked like very slight lipgloss on me cause of my pigmented lips! boo!
Awww! Naked is on the sheerer side, so I could see it not working out so well on your lips. I wish I had a second set of lips! Sometimes I consider staining my lips and doing swatches that way, but then I look at the lipsticks I've yet to swatch regularly and go maybe not right now, LOL.
LOL! there's always something new in makeup, thats the problem!
SO so true!
Looks great on you
Thanks, Cat!
Christine, this is SUCH a beautiful color on you! Beautiful color that I want to haaaaaave!!!
Thank you, Kellie!
This is a GORGEOUS color!
Don't like it, nothing special about it
Love the colour! Too expensive for me, though... Here in Spain, I mean; 'cause the cosmetics products are more expensive (actually much more expensive!) in Europe than in the USA... =(
Love the color, is ther a Mac dupe
Thanks, Mary!
That's really pretty. Hope I can find a place that sells Estee Lauder-- shipping's awful for Canada.
The Bay and Sears I think sell it!
I'm loving all the pinks, dark pinks, and corals that are in this season. It makes me happy! :)
Wow, that is such a rich, beautiful color. It completely surprised me though: when I read "plumberry," I expected something with a lot more, well, plum! Still, gorgeous color :-) And it's good to know it's more moisturizing than other lipsticks. I may just have to check it out! Thanks for reviewing it!
This is really pretty on you! I think it'd be too bright for me though :( [fair skinned].
Thanks a lot, Michelle!
