My Experience with Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Potion Bitter Sweet:

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Potion Bitter Sweet Packaging

Let’s start with the packaging of the product. The lipstick comes housed in the signature blue colored cardboard box with gold detailing. The packaging looks classy. The box bears the necessary product-related information. The lipstick tube is navy blue in color and is transparent in the middle, and thus one can easily spot the shade. The brand’s tagline is embossed on the cap. There is a sticker at the base bearing the shade name and number. The lipstick has a regular screw on cap, which fits securely.

There is a curvy doe foot applicator attached to the cap. The applicator wand is neither too long nor too short. It is of good quality and is very soft and easy to work with. It picks up the right amount of the product, which is required for single use. Since the tube is sleek, it fits in my clutch well. The shape of the lipstick is fairly simple, and thus it’s easy to carry around. Overall, the packaging is classy and travel-friendly.

This particular range comes with an array of shades. Though I lean more towards corals, pinks, and reds, this time, I went out of my comfort zone and chose this very beautiful dark shade. The shade I had picked up is called “Bitter Sweet”, which is more of a deep berry plum kind of color. The shade is bold and gorgeous, and it is a perfect fall color but, I love wearing this one for summers, too.

The color instantly brightens up my face. However, it needs to be worn with a proper base makeup else it may not look as flattering as it looks with a perfect base makeup. This particular shade will work across the spectrum of skin tones. It is slightly a vampy kind of shade, so it is not suitable for daytime wear. There is no significant sheen or shimmers in this lipstick.

Initially, it sets to a glossy finish, but after some time, the glossiness becomes dull. It looks almost semi-matte after an hour or so. I had expected it to provide a little more mattified finish but, it provides a satiny finish and makes my lips look healthier. This juicy wet look is new to me, I usually prefer matte lippies but, I’m head over heals in love with the texture and finish of this lip potion. The lipstick has a pleasing vanilla cupcake-like fragrance. The smell is mind and non-bothersome. I love how this lipstick smells! The colour payoff of this shade is brilliant. Just one swipe deposits a perfect opaque color to the lips. I just use a second coat to even out the color. It hides all the flaws and pigmentation of my lips perfectly and leaves a smooth and even finish.

The lipstick is super lightweight and feels ultra comfortable on my lips. It feels like almost nothing on the lips. The lipstick never settles into the fine lines but goes evenly on the lips. The lipstick is absolutely smudge proof. It stays in place and does not budge even after meals. Since it has a creamy formula, it has the tendency to transfer easily. The formula is so nourishing. It moisturizes my lips pretty well and keeps them hydrated for long. It does not highlight the dry patches on my lips.
