Estee Lauder Impassioned (330) Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “bright vibrant orange.” It’s a medium-dark orange-red with warm undertones and a soft shine. It had rich, fully opaque color coverage that applied smoothly and evenly without settling into lip lines. The consistency was lightly creamy but didn’t feather over the six-hour wear time. It was lightly moisturizing while worn. Lipstick Queen Jungle Queen (P, $22.00) is a touch lighter. Givenchy Carmin Escarpin (306) (P, $36.00) is darker, redder. Dior Trafalgar (844) (P, $34.00) is slightly redder. Giorgio Armani #300 (P, $32.00) is more matte. Urban Decay Bang (P, $22.00) is brighter. Maybelline Orange Edge (LE, $7.49) is glossier.

Estee Lauder Envious (340) Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “warm, bright poppy-red.” It’s a slightly muted, medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a soft, luminous sheen. The color applied evenly and smoothly while delivering rich, full color payoff. This shade lasted for six hours and left a slight stain behind as well. It was nicely hydrating while worn. MAC Cherry Glaze (LE, $20.00) is sheerer. Too Faced Red Stiletto (P, $21.00) is a touch more muted. Revlon Provocateur (135) (P, $8.99) is similar. Anna Sui Minnie Mouse (01) (LE) is brighter.

I love these lipsticks, but could only justify getting a couple because I have so many similar shades. I’m hoping Estée Lauder starts releasing limited edition lipsticks in this formula, so I can get more without feeling guilty. 🙂 If you have a chance, you should try Desirable, which is a gorgeous pinky-peachy beige that brightens up my face and the face of everyone I’ve seen wearing it (if you count the blog swatches I looked at obsessively before it finally came back in stock at Sephora was a lot).

Great quality products like these need more exposure and love on YouTube! Thanks for the review. I trust your feedback and swatches and will definitely be checking these out! I like some of the lighter, more work wearable shades you posted. The vibrant ones look very nice on you, btw.

I know this is totally unrelated but Chirstine I have a question, I really like the revlon lipstick that’s in the she’s so mean lyric video(matchbox 20) and I can’t read the number and I was wondering if you’d check it to see what you thought it was. It’s around 1:14. I think it could be coralberry but I might be wrong.

I like them both, and both look gorgeous on you! I think EL has a winner with this lipstick range, the texture is so comfortable and the colors are beautiful.
