I think I’m going to stifle my need to buy every new thirty dollar lippie and just place one huge order from ColourPop! LOL These are pretty, though!
LOL! 🙂
Ooh Thrilling is beautiful on you Christine!! 🙂
Thanks, Divya! 🙂
Are those new for Fall? Ambitious Pink isn’t on the EL website, although Thrilling is.
These were released already!
What’s the difference between this formula and the Nars Audacious formula? Might seem like a weird question but I’m asking because I own two Audacious ones and I like them but I’m curious about this formula, which is similarly priced and has a lot of nice colors.
Audacious is a heavier formula with a more satin to matte finish – these are more luminous and lighter-weight and look lighter on. Hope that helps!
Totally gushing over Ambitious Pink here! <3
Woohoo!
I really like both. I think Thrilling would be a great summer/fall transition color.
I could see it working well for fall!
Thrilling is very thrilling!
Haha! ;D
Gorgeous!
They are!
Both lipsticks look very pretty on you!!
Thanks a lot, Lys!
I like both! I love Thrilling for fall though. Oh, my poor wallet!
It is a very fall-esque shade!
Drooling over Ambitious Pink.
Such a pretty shade of pink!
Thrilling is gorgeous. The other is the wrong kind of pink for me – it’s pretty, but it would not look good!
I know the feeling! It’s the type of pink that is easier for me to wear, but much lighter, and it gets hard for me!
How is Thrilling compared to Too Faced Melted Berry? I’ve been trying to find a hydrating version of that shade and this looks close…
Melted Berry is cooler-toned, less red/more berry!
Love, love, love that Thrilling colour – it really suits you too Christine – goes well with your complexion. Adore that colour!
Aww, thank you, Genevieve! 🙂
Love these Estee Lauder lipsticks. I own 3 and want to buy more! Thanks for the swatches 🙂
No problem!
Wow Ambitious looks gorgeous I wish I could pull pinks off.
I bet you could!
Would you say Thrilling is close to Guerlain Gigolo at all, Christine?
I think Thrilling is brighter 🙁 Just lacks some of the depth of Gigolo!
Thank you! Still so sad Gigolo is discontinued. 🙁
