Estee Lauder Christmas Kiss Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches
Christmas Kiss
Estee Lauder Christmas Kiss Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium pinky-red with fine ruby red and pink pearl. It had nearly opaque color coverage that went on evenly and smoothly.
The Hi-Lustre formula is supposed to have medium coverage, shine, and shimmer with a hydrating formula. I’m a fan of the Pure Color lipstick range, and the Hi-Lustre formula “downside” is that it tends to be closer to semi-opaque to opaque coverage rather than a true medium coverage formula. The texture was lightweight, comfortable to wear with a touch of tackiness, that sat well on the lips and lasted for six and a half hours. The color stained slightly, but it was faint, and it felt hydrating while worn.

Oh yeah, this screams ho ho ho 🙂
Definitely a very Christmassy red!
Wow, the lipstick comes packaged nice. Lol. That’s a really pretty color, but it has quite a lot of dupes
It was!
Very pretty! I think this looks better semi-opaque than it would if it were the medium-coverage advertised, actually.
Yeah, I don’t think it looks bad, but the formula is definitely more pigmented than not!
Pretty classic color, packaging is perfect for gift giving
The packaging was a real surprise!
The color and finish are perfection.
I like how there’s shimmer, but it isn’t really glittery!
Gorgeous shade of red! I’m thinking I’m pretty well set with MAC x Selena Como La Flor? Or Maria Moretti.
But can we take a moment to appreciate your fantastic eye look; it is totally glorious! ?
Felt like a Christmas tree with the eyes and lips, LOL.
This is such a pretty color!
It is!
Gorgeous !!!
Glad you liked it!
A lovely pinky red shade for Santa’s big day.
It would be!
A perfect red for the holidays!
The pearl on this makes it really compelling!
