Estée Lauder Pure Colour Long Lasting Lipstick in Vanilla Truffle Review

Hello everybody,

Today, I am reviewing Estée Lauder Pure Colour Long Lasting Lipstick in Vanilla Truffle. It’s a creamy peach-coloured n*de shade. I really wish I had tested this shade before picking it up. To know more, please continue to read.

Price: £22 for 3.8 g

Product Description:
Colour so incredible, it leaves your lips wanting more. Maximised impact. Magnified vibrancy, dimension and brilliance. True Vision technology takes ordinary colour and makes it extraordinary. You’ll love the spectrum of fade-resistant, long-lasting shades, from sublime to vivid. Enriched with lip-loving ingredients, including apricot kernel, shea butter and murumuru butter that leave lips soft and creamy smooth. Each shade comes in the lasting, seductive finish that suits it best: satin crème or lustrous shimmer.

My Experience with Estée Lauder Pure Colour Long Lasting Lipstick in Vanilla Truffle:

Packaging: It has beautiful, elegant-looking gold-coloured packaging with a good quality plastic base which has peach colour, which is the lipstick shade. The lipstick tube is embossed with “EL”, the Estée Lauder logo. The lipstick tube comes packaged in a blue-coloured cardboard packing.

I happened to purchase Estée Lauder makeup from airport duty free and this lipstick came along as a complimentary. I still regret not testing the shade on the counter. This lipstick has a nice smell; texture is creamy and the lipstick glides on the lips; in fact it feels extremely buttery. The finish is satiny. Vanilla truffle is a beautiful n*de peachy shade, but does not suit me at all. I have worn this lipstick only indoors. “Hello this shade does not suit you or looks horrible on you” is the compliment from my near and dear ones and a few close friends who have seen me wearing it.

My skin is moderately fair with warm tones and this shade is not at all for me. I tried using it with a lip liner, but no luck; the lipstick pigmentation overpowers the lipliner on the lips. I have pigmented lips, which makes it more difficult to use this neutral peachy shade. Only way to make it work was to mix it with other lipsticks. I started using it as a base under some lipsticks and it still did not work. It tends to peel my lip skin, if worn without a lip balm.

It has good pigmentation, but is not long lasting; after eating or drinking, it simply vanishes, but the buttery feeling stays on the lips. Without eating or drinking, it stays on for 3 to 4 hours or so.
I remember the woman on the counter saying that she was gifting me one of the most popular n*de lipstick shade! I agree that it may look beautiful on many women, but unfortunately not on me. I cannot even use it as a lip balm or something; it’s a total waste for me.
