Power Mode (410)

Estee Lauder Power Mode (410) Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and fine lighter pink and warmer pink pearl. This shade had less shimmer than a lot of the other shades, but it also seemed to apply more evenly and have greater coverage (which you may prefer, though the formula is supposed to be medium in coverage). The texture was lightly creamy with just a touch of slip, but it didn’t slide around and lasted for a solid four and a half hours.

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have medium coverage with a lustrous finish. It took the Pure Color Envy formula and added shimmer to it with the end result varying from lightly pearlized to more frosted and near-metallic. The shimmer was finer in size, so the lipsticks did not feel gritty on the lips, and the particles didn’t migrate as the lipstick wore down.

The coverage ranged from semi-sheer to nearly opaque, so it really depended on the shade on how true it was to medium coverage. The formula felt lightly creamy, thinner but not clingy, and with just enough slip to be comfortable to apply and to wear without feeling slippery during wear. The shades lasted from four to six hours and usually hydrating while worn.

The formula had a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Thrill Seeker (420)

Estee Lauder Thrill Seeker (420) Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia magenta with strong, pink undertones and fine lavender and violet pearl. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on evenly and smoothly, as the lipstick had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that didn’t tug or drag on the lips. The color wore well for almost six hours, was hydrating, and left behind a stain.

Sly Ingenue (430)

Estee Lauder Sly Ingenue (430) Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and very fine pink, fuchsia, and gold pearl. It had mostly opaque coverage, which is greater than marketed, but I imagine will not be a deal-breaker for most. The consistency had a light-medium feel to it, thicker than the other shades but not heavy, and was comfortable and hydrating on the lips. This shade wore well for five and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview

It takes the Pure Color Envy and adds shimmer to it with the end result varying from lightly pearlized to more frosted and near-metallic. The shimmer is finer, so the lipsticks do not feel gritty on the lips, and the particles don’t migrate as the lipstick wears down. I would describe the coverage as more semi-opaque overall, though a lighter hand could achieve more medium coverage and two layers would give you near-to opaque coverage. It is lightly creamy with some slip that is more noticeable as the formula warms up against the lips. The wear ranged from four to six hours and was typically hydrating. The formula features a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.
