Estee Lauder Immortal, LA Noir, Speak Out Pure Color Envy Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Immortal
Estee Lauder Immortal Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark orange-red with strong, warm undertones and a natural sheen. The lipstick yielded good color coverage in a single stroke, which built up to full coverage with less than a second layer.
The texture felt lightweight, lightly creamy without being too slippery, and adhered evenly to my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. It stayed on nicely for five and a half hours, left a slight stain behind, and felt moisturizing during wear.

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.

LA Noir
Estee Lauder LA Noir Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark red with cool, pinkish undertones and a natural sheen. It didn’t have quite as much glossiness as other shades in the range, and it had more translucency, but it applied evenly and sat particularly well on my lips.
The color payoff was more semi-opaque, somewhat buildable, while the consistency felt lightweight, slightly thinner than was typical of the range, but it was still lightly emollient and comfortable to apply. The color was going strong after six hours of wear, left a stain behind, and felt hydrating while worn.

Speak Out
Estee Lauder Speak Out Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a vivid, medium-dark pink-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied fairly evenly but had a bit of streaking along the edges.
I also felt like the product didn’t adhere was smoothly to my lips overall and, as a result, it didn’t sit as well compared to other shades in the range. The consistency felt lightly creamy with moderate slip and a touch of tackiness that helped keep it in place (without making it uncomfortable). It stayed on well for six hours and felt moisturizing over time.

La Noir and Speak Out are really pretty shades. The coral pink, Speak Out, is really attractive to me but I don’t ever seem to like them once I put them on. I love them on others, though. Given that in the previous question, I said I needed to control my lipstick buying, I had better pass! Let’s see if I can stay strong. Luckily, there isn’t an Estee Lauder counter in Kalispell.
Speak Out is such a bright, punchy coral-pink for summer! I love it, but I still have Maybelline Shocking Coral and also MAC La Vie En Rouge, so there’s no need for me to buy it yet.
LA Noir looks like no other red I own. I’m digging the muted raspberry undertone to it, though! Makes it look more fresh and less “formal” of a red.
I am quite attracted to the Immortal shade of red and, thanks to the dupe list, there is a couple of Sephora lipstories lipsticks in a quite similar shade. It’s just that the EL lipsticks are incredibly expensive here in Aus.
