Bois de Rose
Estee Lauder Bois de Rose Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) isa medium-dark plum with strong, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage with a smooth, creamy texture that adhered well to lips and was very, very lightly tacky in feel (more like the feel that the lipstick wasn’t going to slide around on me than true tackiness). The coverage was even and lasted for five hours on me while hydrating my lips.
The Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick formula is supposed to have “high-intensity color” that hydrate lips with six-hour wear. It’s one of my favorite formulas, as the majority of the shades are creamy, smooth, pigmented, hydrating, and long-wearing (four to seven hours). They are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Formula Overview
$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce
The Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick formula is supposed to have “high-intensity color” in a "single stroke" that "glides on effortlessly" and has "six hour" wear. More recent copy of the formula has been more specific as it having "medium-to-full coverage."
Most shades in the range are lightweight, creamy with moderate slip with semi-opaque to opaque coverage that wears four to seven hours. The formula tends to sit well on lips and either gives the illusion of plumpness or smooths out lip lines slightly. It's also hydrating while worn.
They are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Ah, the way you describe these makes me feel like trying them right away! Bois de Rose is a candidate for my one luxurious buy this year. (Haha, we’ll see if I’ll manage.) I cannot find any information about SPF in this formula. But I thought some of Estee Lauders lipsticks do have an SPF. Do you happen to know if this one has too? Thanks. 🙂
It’s a superb formula if you like lightly glossy, more pigmented lipstick. I like how they wear and feel on the lips a lot 🙂
As far as I know, there is no SPF in this formula.
Ok, thanks! That is a bit of bummer. Sun gives me fever rash almost instantly… Now that I wear lipstick almost every day for summer I want something with sun protection in it. I still should try this on I guess, after your description!
Was all excited for Bois De Rose, then saw Pink Chocolate as a super close dupe. No wonder I immediately loved Bois De Rose!
Then I couldn’t help but notice Never Enough. That is a beautiful spring/ summer shade!
Never Enough is perfect for spring-to-summer!
OMG i have to have bois de rose, is stunning!!!!
It is!
All are stunning, I really like Power Grab though. I’ll have to compare it to Palomino, though, they look similar.
Power Grab is pretty!
Bois de Rose is so pretty!
Agreed!
I really like the Bois de Rose and never Enough, mainly because they look good on you!
Thank you!
Such pretty shades and a great formula exactly what you look for in a lipstick. I love the Vanilla scent.
The vanilla scent is nice!
Power grab is STUNNING. Omg!
It is!
I bought Bois de Rose for my daughter in law for Christmas and she just adores the shade. It works so well with all her day looks, which is not a lot with 2 children under 3….
She finds that it lasts a long time and is very moisturising on her lips – which also reflects the really good rating.
It is funny how these seemed to launch much earlier across the world and only just now in the U.S.!
Happy to hear your daughter-in-law is loving it!
I love these, they are in my top 5 faves of all time, along with Dior Rouge Couture and Shiseido. Bois de Rose is so beautiful!
It’s such a well-done formula!
Pretty pink shades for spring. I like Estee Lauder’s Color Envy lipsticks formula. I’m going to check Never Enough out in store.
Me too! It’s a fab formula.
I love EL Pure Envy lipsticks, so I’m sure at least a couple of these will find their way into my collection….Bois de Rose is gorgeous 🙂
Can’t wait for you to check out the new shades!
These colors are like a breath of fresh air. The fact that they work well is a plus as well. I’m definitely thinking about Never Enough and Bois de Rose.
