Drug store lipsticks are just getting better and better but sometimes you just have to splash out and treat yourself to a high end lipstick or 4. These Pure Colour Envy lipstick by Estee Lauder cost £26 so they are not cheap but they are worth every penny and I have 2 mattes and 2 creams to talk to you about today.
First of all the packaging is perfect it just feels high end with the magnetic closure and gold colour on both ends then blue round the sides, this does not feel plasticky or cheap. They do look a little old fashioned but that does not take away from high end feeling of them.

Lets talk matte first. When you first put these matte lipsticks on you would almost think they are cream lipsticks, they go on so easily and feel so comfortable to wear. There is no need to put a load of this lipstick on because these lipsticks are so pigmented and they are not shear. They can dry your lips out a wee bit but nothing that a bit of lip balm cant fix and because they feel creamy they dont look horrible when you put these on dry lips, you can notice your lips might look a little dry but compared to other matte lipsticks you can get away it.

The first every Estee Lauder lipstick that I bought was the Pure Colour Envy in Powerful which is sadly almost finished and yes I will be replacing it. Im not really in to girly pink lipsticks but for some reason this one just works really will for me and I love it, its my summer time lipstick if the sun is out then I will have this on. It just makes me feel good when I wear this lipstick, Dominant is a fantastic colour as well but Powerful has my heart. These cream lipsticks are really good and I think they are made for magic, Im not joking. Even though these lipsticks are cream they last so long, I would expect a matte lipstick to last a long time but a cream lipstick still looking good after a 8 hour shift at work and its not tried to run all over my face and bleed past my lip line is a bit unusual. Normally when Im on my break at work I do touch up my lipstick but most on the time I dont really think I need to with these lipsticks. I do see them transfer on to cups and things but somehow there is still so much colour on my lips.
I think if your planning on treating yourself to a high end lipstick you should try these whether its the matte or cream ones they are both really good. My top 2 are Powerful which is from the creams and then Unattainable which is from the mattes.
