I must confess. Estee Lauder isn’t my typical brand; I
grew up seeing it in older women’s vanity tables. The luxe feel of the brand has always put it beyond the reach of
my student budget (then) and made me shy away from it.
All that said, I don't know what got into me when I found myself trying out lipstick at the Estee Lauder counter in MOA a few months ago. Must be their pretty model with pouty lips? Heh. I After much hemming and hawing at the counter, I gave in and got my first tube! Now I feel more grown-up. Chos! Let's talk about the one I got, the Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick in Graceful described as a sheer nude-pink. It was the most logical choice at that time since this is perfect for daily use in the office but now I'm actually considering other shades because of this lipstick's great qualities.

What made me buy it aside from me being an impulsive (reformed, ehem) shopper?
Here are the YAYs:
Luxurious
packaging. The body is solid
and has a certain heft when held. It’s very elegant and yet understated;
something you won’t mind whipping out in a hotel restroom. ;) I have a tendency to play with its magnetic cap, heehee.
Comfortable
wear. The best
description that comes to mind is that the lipstick hugs my lips when I wear
it. It doesn’t dry my lips. No white flakes left either after several hours of
wear. Pure joy to wear. *hands up*
Smooth application. It applies so
smoothly. I call it love at first swipe. *hearts*
Sculpting?
The lipstick gives
off a shine that gives the lips a nice lift. Nothing too dramatic, though. The
effect is very natural which is fine by me.

You may notice I did not put any cons. Well, I just don't have any beef with it! I love it a lot!
If you want something perfect for everyday use - wearable and comfortable - I daresay this is a good investment to have. No unsightly chapped lips! :-)
I'd love to hear about your favorite MLBB lipsticks and your 'investment' lipsticks!
Be blessed always.
