Estee Lauder Citron Kiss Pure Color Lipgloss ($22.50 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a gold shimmered gloss that has virtually no color, just soft, pale yellow gold shimmer and a glossy shine. MAC Moth to Flame looks similar on, though it’s less golden and more beige. Bobbi Brown Coral Sand is more orange. MAC Gold Dust is less yellow.  Really, any sheer gold-shimmered gloss will do.  I’m surprised I couldn’t think of something dead-on similar.  A gloss like this isn’t useless, it’s just not the type of gloss that most want ten of, because you can’t really see the nuances within it since there is not much to the base color.

If you like a little shimmer or you want something to layer over a lipstick without changing the color much, you might like this. I think it ends up being too simple to be a must-have for most. Citron Kiss wore of quickly, unfortunately–it was mostly gone after two hours. The texture is lightweight, feels almost gel-like once applied, and there is only a very slight tackiness to it (but I hesitate to call it that–it’s that subtle). Estee Lauder scents their glosses with their signature fig, which is best described as a sweet, fruity aroma.  It didn’t dry out my lips during the brief stint it was on my lips.

Is this the one for Spring or Summer? LOL! I can’t tell, you know why? They both look exactly the same! Ha! I had a laugh when I saw that… I was like, “Why would I need two limited edition glosses that look exactly the same on the lips?”

On the other hand (and kinda off topic) that gold lip gloss/lacquer thing from Tom Ford will be MINE! Muahhah! Have you tried the silver one? OMG it’s pretty!! Kinda crazy but PRETTY! Reminded me of Resort Life by MAC or one of those other squeezy tube glossy things… what are they called again? LOL

Haha yea those things! The silver gloss from TF is almost 3d looking – I thought it was very “special effect” for a brand like Tom Ford. Really cool though! Prob ordering some of the spring stuff this month and the gold one is def on my list 🙂

This just makes me want that gold MAC Dazzleglass. Does anyone else have a hard time shelling out the cash for sheer lip glosses like this one?

I kind of like it, that it’s just the pure gold shimmer and nothing else. Though I agree, it’s not a must have for me. When I first read it’s name, I was sort of hoping it would smell and taste like lemon -I bought a lipgloss in Europe once that tasted and smelled like lemon and I loved it.

I just went to my EL counter today and was impressed with the new Pure Color Blushes. Will you be doing a review? The Wild Sunset is the prettiest coral, it come home with me. 🙂

The new blushes are so nice! Can’t believe Lauder have released colours like Electric Pink- so different to what they’ve done before.
