Ok, I’m really really excited about these new Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquers from Estee Lauder because I think I may have found my perfect “nude” lip. The thing about “nude lips” is that they are so tricky. Half the time, a colour proclaiming to be “nude” is a dull beige and seriously, have you seen anyone with a natural beige lip before? No one, I’d warrant. Well, maybe a corpse.
But I recently tried on the Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquer in Vinyl Rose, a colour I’d never pick up at the best of times, and much to my surprise, fell head over heels for it!
The Estee Lauder Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquers are new products. What they are, is a hybrid between a seriously pigmented, highly opaque lipstick and a shiny lip gloss. They come in liquid form, in packaging similar to that of the Pure Color Lip Glosses with a sponge tip applicator.
The texture is really thick and they apply like a creamy thick lacquer on your lips. It all sounds quite intense and uncomfortable, but they aren’t. You can feel the creamy, slightly thick texture on your lips for sure, yet it does not feel heavy nor goopy. The colour is intense, crazily opaque and last. For. Hours.
I’m a bit of a strange fish in that I’m not really into wearing lip gloss but a good liquid lipstick like the offerings from Guerlain, Laura Mercier and Shiseido really get the ol’ blood going. Well, add these Estee Lauder Lip Lacquers to the bunch!
