Go Glam with Estee Lauder Pure Colour Crystal Lipstick : Review & Swatches

Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal Lipstick- Cherry Blossom & Firelight

I got these two beauties as a gift - these two were part of a travel exclusive set- there was one more which I gave to mom! I have been meaning to do this post for a long time but I realized the hand swatches were looking similar - so I did lip swacthes too! They are more accurate about how they look on lips.

Cherry Blossom- baby pink with fine silver shimmer which is non gritty
Firelight- a pale peach with subtle golden duochrome effect.


Price-$25 for full size

Size- 2.5g/Travel size (was part of a travel exclusive set)

• Firstly I LOVE the packaging- the golden metallic case with a secret flip-out mirror - its just gorgeous as well as functional - feels substantial and luxurious
• They provide good coverage, are soft and smooth to apply.
• The shades are pretty but too pale - but will suit only fair skin tones.
• The shimmer is very fine and non-gritty- thankfully!

•  After the lipstick fades - I can still see glitter on my lips - esp for cherry blossom
• The shades might not suit most indian skin tones

The Last Word:
Of all the crystal/shimmer lipsticks I have tried - they are the smoothest and most comfortable to wear. I have this tick about how  a lipstick 'feels'/should feel - if it doesn't feel right on the lips- I somehow lose interest very quickly. These two however score in that department. The colours are a little pale for my liking ...
BUT ...For me they are good for their money just for their awesome packaging!
Have you tried other shades in this range??
