Where I got it: I got these from my local Estee Lauder counter in Farmers for $63 each.
What I got: These are the Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip. (from esteelauder.com) Discover the power of liquid Envy. Intense, smooth, ultra-comfortable color. This is paint with a passion.
Saturates lips with 3 boldly seductive finishes:
MATTE: Paint on long-wearing drama. Paint on style. Matte but never flat. (11 shades)
VINYL: Paint on shine. Paint on sexy. Fits your lips like a curvy vinyl dress. (6 shades)
METALLIC: Paint on dazzle. Paint on daring. Gleaming brushed chromes in super-hot shades that last all day. (6 shades)
How I find it: These liquid lip colours come in 3 finishes: metallic, vinyl and matte. I only have metallic and vinyl at the moment and they both are quite impressive. They have a clear tube with a usual doe-foot applicator in a clear wand. You can see exactly the shade that is in the tube. The texture and consistency of the liquid lip are rather thick and is super pigmented.
Lava Flow Vinyl is a super glossy red lip and is also super pigmented. It is more of an orange toned red which looks quite bold and bright. I would say this is more of a summer shade. The formula is smooth and shiny but not a real thick type of gloss. I do need to make sure there is enough product on the applicator before I apply otherwise it will make my lips a bit streaky.
Wine Shot Metallic is a really beautiful metallic deep purple with a red undertone. It looks so beautiful on the lips and is very flattering. You won’t be able to feel the micro-shimmer particles and the glossy finish makes the metallic lip very sophisticated. The formula is really easy to apply and it no streaky or runny. However, this is not a long-lasting or long-wearing lip colour so it will fade and rub off when you drink or wipe your lips. As would most liquid lips and darker shades, these shades will stain your lips.
Overall: Really impressed with the pigmentation of these liquid lip colours, but not so much with their longevity. I probably wouldn’t wear these at work where I’m most likely to drink heaps of water/tea or eat. As they are so pigmented and so stunning, these shades I have are also very bold and eye-catching. Therefore I would probably wear them to an event, a dinner or when I’m going out at night. I like that it leaves a stain, but I’m also wary that it will smear all over my face if I’m not aware and when I’m with my kids. Nonetheless, the texture is quite nice, it is not sticky or greasy, but it is moisturising and you can definitely feel something on your lips. I am kind of curious to know how the matte ones wear and feel. The matte finish does have lot more shades and they also have more neutral and nude shades as well.
