Prowl
Estee Lauder Prowl Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is dark pink with warm undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was mostly opaque, though it was buildable to full coverage with some layering. The texture was lightweight, adhered well to the lips but didn’t feel clingy (but it didn’t slide around either, so it wasn’t high-maintenance), and felt moisturizing while I wore it. On me, the color stayed on well for six and a half hours.
The Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick formula is supposed to have “high-intensity color” that hydrate lips with six-hour wear. It’s one of my favorite formulas, as the majority of the shades are creamy, smooth, pigmented, hydrating, and long-wearing (four to seven hours). They are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

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.

Both shades are so pretty and they look beautiful on you Christine.
Aw, thank you Maria!
I’m liking Prowl a lot and am hoping it’s not too warm (as in belonging to the coral family) because my monitor reads a little bluer than it should.
Fingers crossed it isn’t too warm for you, Anne!
Both shades are great but probably too warm for me!
Dang, all A’s!!
More EL lip goodies!
I really like Prawl a lot. I just double checked, I don’t have any dupes! I can see a very agitated sales assistant at an EL counter in my future, asking me repetedly if I need any help with me answering, no, I just have to swatch all of these lipsticks. And then me being thown out from the store by security after having spent two hours comparing swatches 🙂
I’ve been craving clear, high intensity, neon type lip and nail colors for spring and summer, so will definitely be checking out this EL line!
Here’s hoping they fit the bill! 🙂
Most of the Colour Envy line by EL is pretty good and these shades are just lovely for spring. Beautiful on you Christine.
I agree! There are very few misses!
They all look so good on you. I’m thinking Prowl will be a good spring shade for me. I haven’t owned an EL lipstick since college! I’m glad there is a vanilla scent now 🙂
The Pure Color Envy lines all have vanilla scent but their regular range is still fig last I checked!
All your EL Pure Color Envy lipstick reviews inspired me to add a couple to my cart when checking out tonight with the Heatwave highlighter! I decided to go with some of your old favorites though instead of new ones – I got Defiant Coral and Irresistible! If I love those I may get more and some of the newer shades. I also got the Bronze Goddess bronzer in medium. It has so many great reviews, Im hoping it’s good (since you haven’t reviewed it I don’t think!)
Unfortunately, I pretty much like all the new Color Envy lipsticks!
