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.

Power Grab

Estee Lauder Power Grab Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a natural sheen. It had good pigmentation–almost opaque–with a lightweight, smooth, and lightly creamy texture. The color went on evenly and wore comfortably for five and a half hours on me. The formula felt moisturizing over time.

Never Enough

Estee Lauder Never EnoughPure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark rosy pink with warm undertones and a creamy finish. There was a noticeable sheen to the finish, but the lipstick adhered well to the lips and didn’t feel slippery or slide around easily. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly without dragging on the lips. This shade stayed on well for five and a half hours and was moisturizing while worn.

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. 🙂

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!

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.
