Estee Lauder Reckless (480) Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick
Estee Lauder Reckless (480) Pure Color Envy Sculpting LipstickEstee Lauder Reckless (480) Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a slightly muted, pink-berry with cool undertones and a soft, luminous sheen. Givenchy Framboise Velours (315) (LE, $36.00) is redder. Chanel Rayonnante (145) (P, $34.00) is sheerer. Chanel L’Amoureuse (47) (P, $34.00) is more matte. Too Faced So Berry Sexy (P, $22.00) is similar. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
This is one of the more recently added shades to the range (and the last one that I have for now). It had rich, opaque color coverage that went only smoothly and evenly. The consistency is lightly creamy but not too slippery, so it adheres comfortably to the lips and yields longer wear (six hours on me). The formula is vanilla-scented but taste-free. This particular shade was hydrating over time. I really loved this shade, and I think it’s a great addition to the range–the muted quality to the color makes it more interesting to me.

Seems like a great formula and it looks great on you, Christine! These colors tend to look off on me, though… I might just give some of the other shades a try
Hopefully you can try some of the other ones 🙂
Reckless is simply marvelous! I definitely had to give this formula another go just based on this shade alone. Thank you for featuring it, Christine!
My pleasure, Kimmy!
This is a beautiful shade and would suit my light skin (NW25) perfectly! I can’t wait to add it to my “collection”.
Would be lovely on you, Ceci!
I bought this shade along with Confident yesterday. They are beautiful! Today I’m wearing Reckless. I know this is lightly hydrating, but it’s pretty cold in the Midwest right now, so I think I should use a little lip balm. Confident seems to be a darker shade of Restless. I couldn’t decide so I bought both! See why I have a “collection”? Christine, will you be reviewing Confident? BTW, I check your blog several times a day. I appreciate your thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and Mellan pics.
That’s a lovely color and formula, it’s now going on my wishlist!
I like your LM Caviar Sticks look.
Thank you, Pami! 🙂
I usually stay away from purple toned pinks but this looks great on you! I think the rest of the makeup works really well with this! 🙂
Aw, thanks Divya!
Wow, you gave this lipstick a really great rating! I want to try it to see for myself 🙂 It is a beautiful color on you!
It’s really nice!
OMG my kinda colour. Looks lovely on you Christine. Added ot my wishlist ( love that feature on here btw!)
Awesome to hear! 🙂
Such a beautiful color! Not too bold. Not too muted. Looks like a great everyday color for me
The color is really well-done!
Should be called “Ashley” because it’s basically me in lipstick form. I LOOOVE this color! I’ve been looking for a color like this, but haven’t found it until now!
YAYYYY! 🙂
Very pretty shade on you !
Thanks, Katherine!
Gorgeous color! Sounds like a very nice formula, too. It looks so creamy.
Very plush on!
This is gorgeous
Agreed!
Such a great color! Love the finish on this line too. If you hadn’t noticed by now I’m a sucker for lip products.
You and me both 🙂
Lovely colour. I think this one is more than just a want, it’s almost at a must have. Good that it’s not a LE so it can wait for some weeks, or months and be a lovely treat come January.
Nice treat for the new year!

It’s OK. Calm down, Syl. It’s permanent. Don’t give yourself a rogueattack over it. Deep breaths. Go polish a dagger or something for a while….
*has massive rogueattack anyway*
😀
Haha! The real question is if it will reach you in NZ!
I love it! I have been trying to choose between one of the Estee Lauders you’ve recently posted or one of the NARS Audacious lipsticks and I’m having lots of trouble! I’ve made lists to compare and everything! This one is so beautiful… *adds to list*
It’s so hard to choose between the two!
I was very curious about this one, but I see it pulls more pink less berry on you. My lips also tend to pull pink from lipsticks that don’t even remotely look pink..so sadly dooms me to berry reading fuschia lips rather than berry..grr.. Would have loved this shade to look closer to barrel, but pretty much guaranteed it won’t on me.
Booooo!! 🙁
Wow, I’m instantly loving the shade of this lipstick! Such a gorgeous pinky-berry color. I like that it’s a bit muted too. Makes it much more wearable for me.
I had to compare it to Too Faced So Berry Sexy since you mentioned it. I like that EL’s Reckless is creamy with no shimmer.
So glad you’re loving it, An!
This could be a nice everyday berry lip!
It would be for sure!
Oh no! After immediately falling in love with this particular colour I just had to find out it’s not available here in Germany (at least can’t find it in any online shop)…this one goes on the shopping list for my next business trip to the US 😉
Thanks for your review, Christine!
Happy to share, Franzi! It is a newer shade, so maybe it’s just not out yet!
Ah, maybe that’s why! Thanks for the hint 😉
ooh I think I might need this. Such a pretty pink!
I’m really loving it!
