Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick By Willow By Willow on Dec 24, 2007 - Updated Sep 26, 2011

Estee Lauder Pure Color long lasting lipstick is one of the best lipsticks I have come across. It is excellent throughout, from the fancy, appealing design (impressive golden-red tube), to the nice variety of available colors (28, all very natural-looking), to the way it looks and feels on the lips. This lipstick contains natural moisturizers, so it does not dry the lips as some other long-lasting cosmetics. It also contains Vitamins C and E. My favorite shade is called Pinkberry - very calm, darker pink with medium shine. The moisturizing effect is felt the moment I apply the lipstick: my lips become silky soft right away. The color does last well without fading, perhaps not all day but you can count on 6-7 hours.

Unfortunately, all this excellence comes with a rather big price tag: $22. I certainly understand that high quality cosmetics cost more, but this is still a little too much for me. I try to buy this item in promo / special deal packs, which sometimes happens.
