Rose Tea
Estee Lauder Rose Tea Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft, pinky mauve with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had good color coverage, though not quite opaque, that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips without tugging. The lipstick was creamy, lightweight, and hydrating without being too slippery on the lips. This shade stayed on well for just over five hours on me.
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.

It had good color payoff, though shy of full coverage, with a creamy, lightly emollient consistency. The lipstick applied evenly and was comfortable to wear as the formula felt hydrating. There was a bit of color that pulled into my deeper lip lines, but it wasn’t too noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This shade wore well for six hours on me.

I have dupes but Rose Tea is so pretty! And Inescapable looks like a pink I can wear, will put on my wishlist
Rose Tea is pretty!
Ah, Rose Tea is so gorgeous! And apparently heavily duped in my stash, too! It will make for an excellent replacement once Cosmo and Mehr get used up or turn.
Incensed is another very beautiful and appealing shade, too. And I don’t know that of any dupes in my stash…. ?
Thank goodness you have plenty of dupes for it 🙂 It’s a lovely color.
The Rose Tea is amazing!! I have only one question. The 4-7 hour wear is with drinking and or eating??
Unless a lipstick lasted over six hours, I did not eat with it on.
I can’t believe it that we have had these shades for a year or more now before you in the US. Rose Tea is a really pretty everyday pink.
That’s crazy!
Incensed is appealing to me and I do not have any dupes for it.
Awesome 🙂
Incensed is really nice. I have Torte though.
