Estee Lauder Pure Color Love Lipstick 240 Pret-A-Party Review

Hi ladies,

I have been wanting to write this review since long time, but online delivery issues and my exhausting office work was not letting me do so. Since the time I saw bloggers flaunting these new “Pure Color Love” lipsticks from Estee Lauder, I wanted to try them and was waiting for them to be available online. People, like us, who do not live in tier 1 cities have to wait for online sites to stock the product. Anyway, I picked the shade “Pret-A-Party” from this above-mentioned range, so let’s get into the review now:

My Experience with Estee Lauder Pure Color Love Lipstick 240 Pret-A-Party:

Let me tell you one of the best things about high-end brands – they pay a lot of attention to product packaging. Packaging of these “Pure Color Love” lipsticks is quite amazing and not like traditional Estee Lauder lipsticks. This lipstick comes in a crystal-like transparent packaging with ‘Estee Lauder’ engraved on it. This is quite a heavy case compared to other lipsticks, but once you remove the cap, the inner bullet is quite light. The color is visible from the top, so easy to pick from your stash if you many of these. Overall, I am impressed with the packaging of this Pure Love lipstick.

The bullet shape is unique. Instead of being inclined from one angle only, this one is inclined from both sides. I found the tip good to draw outer lines but the flat inclined part is not very comfortable to use. We are used to application from traditional bullets and that angle inclination has been very comfortable over the years, however, Pure Color is not at the same angle due to which applying lipstick on lips is tricky.

The texture is quite creamy but feels a bit heavy on the lips. There is a little tug in the texture that you can notice in my hand swatch. Since the finish is creamy, it tends to transfer on to cups etc and cannot survive a meal, but it does leave a stain that stays put for the rest of the day.

The shade did not impress me – Pret-A-Party is a light pink shade that looks very wearable in the bullet but it is not flattering on my NC 40 skin tone. It appeared frosty on my face. I have many crème lipsticks but none look frosty on me except for this one. It might look good on very fair complexions but not on deeper and dusky skin tones for sure.
