Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick Hot Kiss Shimmer Review

Hello ladies, I agree that all women love to sport Hot Pinks and Blazing Reds on their lips but then loud lip shades are not very suitable to be worn on all occasions. You need a couple of neutral shades fro Browns and muted Oink family for wear to office , semi formal meetings and casual outings and turn off your Diva mode! I recently picked one such shade from the Estee Lauder’s pure colour collection. I love the versatility of this shade and I am quite sure, I would keep repurchasing as it is a staple shade that I like to wear on daily basis. Read on below to know about this lipstick in full details.

Cons of Estee Lauder Pure Color lipstick Hot Kiss shimmer

It is expensive and not a product an average buyer can buy routinely. Though, I love the shade, even I do not think I will buy it soon after this one gets exhausted.
The staying power is reasonable but not excellent.

My experience with Estee Lauder Pure Color lipstick Hot Kiss shimmer

The appearance of the lipstick is pleasant and a good addition to your vanity kit. I am strictly against sharing lipsticks and this one in particular is so expensive that would not like to share it with anybody else, at all. Jokes apart, there is no special lock provided, unlike L’Oreal lipsticks. Although, the cap is not loose and does not budge. The lipstick comes in a twist up format and can be applied either directly from the bullet or with help of a lipstick brush. I prefer lipstick brush any day since it gives a precise application and the chances of your lipstick bullet breaking off are also reduced due to lesser pressure.

There is no perceptible smell that could possibly irritate the nose. The texture is smooth and creamy and glides on my lips easily. The shade suits my wheatish complexion well and I wear it anywhere I feel like since it is neither too loud nor too subtle.
