Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick Rose Tea

Hello guys!

It's a really, really great day today because I'm now a regular employee after a 6 month probationary period at the UST Publishing House (which won the Publisher of the Year award at the National Book Awards this year). Now I can have my free tuition in the UST Graduate School next semester! Yayyy! I still enrolled this sem though even if I had to pay for it. I just want to finish and earn my MFA as early as I can. :D

Anyway, since I'm a bit tired because of all the stressful work I had this week (which are sooo worth it), I'll just do a quick swatch post on this lipstick...

Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick

The shade I have is Rose Tea.

This is a gift from my sister so I'm not really sure how much this is in Estee Lauder counters.

It's packaged in a very simple and elegant tube...

With the Estee Lauder logo engraved at the top of the cap.

And for the swatch:

Bare lips

With the lipstick

As you can see, it's a really nice nude shade. The perfect combination of pink and brown. The color is quite rich and it feels smooth and creamy. The smell is really good too... kinda fruity I think...?

Well, that's all I guess.

What do you think of this lipstick? What shades from the brand do you like?

Cheers,

DAWN

Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipsticks: Hot Kiss and Pink Parfait

Hello ladies,

Today we're continuing with the lippe posts. Here are two Estee Lauder lippies I have. They're Estee Lauder's Pure Color Long Lasting Lipsticks in Hot Kiss and Pink Parfait.

This is the old packaging of the product, Estee Lauder still has the line but with a different packaging.

Here's the information provided by Estee Lauder's site:

There's also a list of shades available in the website which you can check out here.

As you can see, these lippies had been with me for quite sometime.

Hot Kiss is kind of a dark mauve. I haven't used it as often as the Pink Parfait below, because at the time I got it I was more obsessed with pink/natural/nude colors and I thought Hot Kiss to be hard to handle or too strong for me.

Here's swatches of the two lippies on the arm. As I mentioned earlier, I don't use Hot Kiss as often that's why it became too sticky to apply... almost like glue.

These are the two lippies I have in my stash. They're long lasting and one of my fave to use during family gatherings, weddings, and other long events.

Hope you like them too.

Cheers,
