Estee Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Lipstick – Infamous Review
Okay ladies, this is the last – absolute last – from the Estee Lauder’s Envy line of lipsticks. I had picked up this colour along with the previously reviewed Impassioned from this line; a very different shade from what I gravitate towards normally, but I wanted something different, something cooler. Let’s read on to find out more about this shade.
Product Details:
Color with the power to transform your lips, your look, your attitude. Intensifies – Saturates lips with high-intensity color-in one stroke. Lip-sculpting statement shades for all skin tones. Sculpts - Multi-faceted pigments create definition. Lips look beautifully shaped, sculpted, curvaceous. Hydrates – Time-released Moisture Complex helps capture and seal-in hydration. Lips feel continuously moisturized throughout the day. Super creamy, glides on effortlessly, covers evenly. Sensually soft and smooth, luxuriously comfortable. The lipstick bullet is shaped to sculpt the curves of your lips. The case feels like luxury in your hands. And with one click, case closed. Full coverage, 6-hour wear.
Price:
$30 in US / INR 1950 for 3.5 gm. Original Pure Color line is priced at INR 1735.
Packaging:
As mentioned in my previous reviews, the packaging for Envy Lipsticks is a classy square deep royal blue tube, with top and base golden in colour. The top has Estee Lauder engraved on it, so does the inner tube. The lipsticks come in a Royal blue cardboard box. The box is seal wrapped in plastic – ensuring hygiene and non-contamination.
My Experience with Estee Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Lipstick – Infamous:
Color: Infamous looks like a warm-toned pink in the tube; however, on application, it’s extremely cold and bright. I was in two minds whether to pick Infamous or Powerful (which is a warmer and a more easily wearable pink). Finally, decided to go with Infamous because I didn’t have something this cool toned in my stash, so I felt the colour to be fairly unique.
The shade is a little tricky. I feel that it looks a little too cool in my lip swatch pics than it actually is. The colour being so cold, will be easier to be pulled off by cool-toned females. On warmer skin tone, the coolness may clash, but it is totally up to you how you rock it. I would advise you to try this shade in store before taking the plunge. It may not flatter all skin tones.
Texture: Again, there is consistency in the texture across the “Envy” line. The texture is lightweight, creamy and glides smoothly on the lips. The colour hugs the lips, sculpting them perfectly, without accentuating fine lines. The lipstick was very comfortable on the lips and lightly hydrating while worn.
Pigmentation: The beauty of the line also lies in their fully saturated colour pigmentation, about 95 – 100% colour deposit in one swipe. I absolutely love this fact and my pigmented lips are grateful for the fully opaque coverage.
Lasting Power: The claim made by the company is 6 hours full coverage. It definitely delivers on the claim. This shade being slightly lighter, doesn’t go much beyond the 6 hours, but definitely delivers up to the 6 hours. It fades evenly. There was no dry patch or clinging feeling throughout the wear time.
To sum this up for you:

IMBB Rating:
5/5
The quality of this entire line is impeccable! There are no two ways about it. You can go ahead and pick pretty much any shade that suits you, from the range, and be sure that its gonna be a winner and you will be reaching for it often. This range is a treat your lips deserve!! I will try and get you swatches of the entire range if I am able to make it. It’s just that it has been raining full on in Mumbai for 2 days now and does not seem to be letting up, which is not so great for the photography – and nor does it make you feel like venturing out.
