Estee Lauder Desirable (120) Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick
Estee Lauder Desirable (120) Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, light-medium pinky with a creamy, natural finish and neutral-to-warm undertones. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips evenly, but the slightly thickened formula pulled into lip lines. The effect worsened slightly as it wore on for the next five hours. The formula was hydrating. Estee Lauder Mischievous Rose (P, $30.00) is glossier. MAC Boca (LE, $16.00) is more matte. Tom Ford Beauty Addison (LE, $32.00) is similar. Bobbi Brown Pink Kiss (P, $26.00) is pinker. Bobbi Brown Blush (P, $26.00) is warmer. NARS Anita (P, $32.00) is pinker. Guerlain Rosy Boop (369) (P, $37.00) is darker, pinker.

It covered evenly and smoothly, while it lasted for six and a half hours and left a stain behind. It was comfortable to wear and moisturizing over time.

I am loving Confident. Beautiful!
It is a gorgeous color!
Yeah, same thing happens when I wear Desirable. The finish just isn’t 100% as it should be. I find that when I apply less of it and just dab some of the color on lightly it looks better though.
Thank you for the tip!
Confident is well named!
Haha! True 🙂
That nude, though. It sounds like a little bit of a headache to wear, but it’s so prettyyyyyy.
The color is lovely! Just not the easiest to wear in the line.
Very pretty! The latter of the two being my favorite, of course, as it is the only one I could wear! 😀 but I do adore that lighter lip! (Lucky ducky) 🙂
Confident is really pretty!
It is!! It looks perfect on you, too! Too similar to my own lips.. Lol.. Sometimes I really value the days when I’m more lifeless and circulation is off because my lips are a bit lighter and I can enjoy the difference! 😀
I love both! That stinks about Desirable though sinking into lip lines. So, I will pass on that. I am definitely going to pick up Confident. I tried on MJ Boy Gorgeous. But, I found it a bit drying as I wore it home. I noticed it as a dupe. The shade is just gorgeous! It’s nice to see Lauder stepping up their game. Seems like they kinda disappeared for a bit.
Bummer to here that Boy Gorgeous was a bit drying 🙁
love the second one….& your eyeshadow is STUNNING
Aw, thanks Alexandra!
Oooh, Confident looks so lush and is such a sexy color! This is so very much my kind of plummy shade! Looks great on you! ……However, Desirable is just NOT living up to its name, LoL.
lol!
Desirable is a very pretty nude, I think. Confident fits it’s name. It’s fabulous.
Confident is a great shade 🙂
Gosh, I have Confident and it looks stellar on you! It is one of my favorites in this range 🙂
I bet you look great in it, Pavithra!
Confident looks stunning on you Christine.
Thanks, Genevieve!
Confident is gorgeous! I think that might be my next shade in this formula.
