Estée Lauder | Pure Color Lipstick & Lipgloss | Review | Photos + Swatches

Estée Lauder introduces a few of their Limited Edition shades in the Pure Color Collection for Holiday 2010. This is the season to glow, and there's no better way than to start with your lips!

Adorn the lips in graceful majesty with glistening, limited edition shades of Pure Color Lipstick in Extravagant Berry and Extravagant Red. Pamper lips in a rich, medium-to-full coverage lipstick that contains Vitamin C and E for the ultimate high-impact look with comfortable application and wear. Special for the holiday season, the lipstick bullets are wrapped in a vivacious gold overlay that adds a unique signature style.

Pure Color Gloss in Electric Ginger, Star Ruby and Extravagant Plum embellish lips with the exclusive True VisionTM Technology that wraps pigments in a crystal-like coating to provide intense, brilliant color and shine. From a soft, sparkling nude to a deep, red wine these limited edition shades will be the enviable finishing touch to your holiday pout.

Star Ruby

Extravagant Berry

Extravagant Red

Glow: The tubes are so elegant and really have a classic appeal. The lipsticks are smooth and creamy and most importantly long wearing ! The thing that I absolutely loved about these lip colors is that they each have a unique scent! The smells are very delicious and fruity.

Glare: The only downside is that as glittery as the lipsticks may appear, it doesn't come out that way on your lips! Aside from that, the lipgloss is very shimmery!

Would I Recommend It? Yes! Especially for the girl who's looking for a classic shade of red without being over the top.

Overall Glam: The tubes alone are definitely an eye catcher, these beauties would make a great holiday gift! It's rare to find lipsticks that actually have a great scent and also deliver when it comes to performance.

For a holiday look of modern drama and brilliant color, the Pure Color Extravagant Collection is available for a limited time at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and on www.esteelauder.com. The Pure Color Long Lasting Lipsticks currently retail for $22.00 and the Pure Color Gloss is $20.00

Beauté Cosmetics | Luminous Volume Gloss x Weightless Lip Creme x Liqui Gel Stains

Lately I've been trying to step outside of my comfort zone when it comes to makeup, and what better way than to start with your lips! Normally when it comes to lipgloss I'm a sucker for neutral and earthy colors but I've gotta admit that it can get kinda boring sometimes. Beauté Cosmetics has a great selection of bold shades that I thought would be perfect to give a try and reivew.

Luminous Volume Gloss  | Chimera | $26

Weightless Lip Cream | Masochist | $26

Liqui Gel Stains For Cheeks & Lips | Flouron | $29

Glow: I honestly don't even know where to begin because these are some really great lipglosses! The Weightless Lip Creme is definitely my favorite out of the three. Its bold & vibrant and goes on really creamy and smooth, you literally only need a dab of it because its very plentiful. All three of the glosses were long wearing and also kept my lips moisturized throughout the day.

Glare: The only con is that it was rather difficult to remove the Liqui Gel Stain. You definitely don't have to worry about this lip stain budging or having to reapply throughout the day because this stuff is pretty solid!

Would I Recommend It? YES!! The shades are brilliantly radiant and definitely worth every penny. Beauté offers various gift sets which are perfect for the holidays. They currently have the 3 piece Electra Gift Set that retails for $68 and includes a Lip Creme, Luminous Volume Gloss and a Liqui Gel Stain.
