I didn’t expect to, but I absolutely love this formula! Smooth, glossy finish, wears nicely and doesn’t settle into my liplines at all unlike pretty much every other non-matte lip product I’ve tried.
I have Rebellious Rose and Discreet, and I’m torn between Dynamic and Intense Nude for my next purchase. They look really similar in your swatches – any recs to make it an easier choice?
Dynamic is warmer, brighter — more like a pink-coral. Intense Nude is rosier, less warmth/brightness. Based on the two you have, Dynamic seems the most “different”!
Thanks!
Yeah, I think I’ll go for Dynamic as it’s the most different from what I have but still looks wearable for everyday use.
I purchased and really love Discreet.
YAY!
I still have yet to buy one, even though I have a few on my personal wishlist. But I get SO distracted by all the shiny, new, LE things that keep coming along! Haha!?
Which shades are on your wish list?
Confident, Vengeful Red (when my Maria Moretti ever gets used up!), Rebellious Rose. I know there’s another one or two, but don’t remember offhand. My paper list is floating around here somewhere…
The idea of finishing a red lipstick seems impossible to me, LOL!
Believe it or not, I’ve done it in the past at least 2-3 times in the 90’s. But, I didn’t have a stash anywhere close in size to what I now have, either!
Christine, if you had to choose–in general–between this line and the Bobbi Brown Luxe Lips, which would you go for? (& thanks for your fantastic swatches and round-ups!)
That’s really tough! They are really comparable in quality, but the Bobbi Brown ones have a smoother, more velvety/creamy finish with a little less “cling” but I love the luminous finish of the Pure Color Envy line.
In the gray box Estee is missing the “E”. Thanks for the roundup. I own Rebellious Rose and love the weight of the lipstick and color. Though at $30/piece they are too expensive to purchase more.
Fixed, thank you!
I really love Decadent and Emotional and just wish that they weren’t so expensive here in Aus.
Totally understand! 🙁
These are some of my absolute favorites. Love love these!! Need more shades!
Yay! Which shades do you have, Lisa?
I have Rebellious Rose, Impulsive, Reckless, Defiant Coral and Potent. I love wearing Defiant Coral & Potent together. I ALWAYS get compliments and questions on what I’m wearing. I really love how Fierce and Decadent look on you, I have to add those in my cart next 🙂
I have to try that combo! I bet Defiant Coral and Potent come together really well.
I loved this line when it came out.. thought it was a really great formula, but the competition in lipstick is now so incredibly fierce.. and I don’t find myself wearing conventional lip colours. Instead, NARS audacious, TF Lips and Boys, Bite Beauty and others etc.. all have some truly interesting shades to choose from that don’t look like the safe choice so my EL’s are sadly not getting any love these days 🙁
How funny! I think the closest Estee Lauder got to “unconventional” was the purple shade they did for the Matte range.
As far as color is concerned, I think I could wear all except #8. After prior experience with Ester Lauder products, the biggest drawback overall is the super strong scent. I would reserve final judgement until actually seeing and smelling them. Based on your review, they might finally be reducing that fragrance issue.
The Pure Color Envy lipsticks have a vanilla-scent, definitely not as strong as the fig they used in most of their other lip products!
I have Red Ego, Discreet and Eccentric from this list, woot.
Nice!
I always forget about trying these which is sad because I love a glossier lip and these fit the bill. There are 6 shades I think I like.
I bet you would like them!
