First, it is quite difficult to decide on a shade. Because there is a wish all and at once. It seems that any will approach any tone of skin. Probably, this is true. But I tried a shade of 09 Rock Candy. It is very soft and light coral-pink color – caramel, in a word. For some reason on the website it is designated as cold pink, but at warm lighting it is quite warm. So it seemed to me.
Each of shades of gloss of Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss has three options of the finish. There is shimmer.
Cool aroma
This gloss from the category of "tasty". A smell at it very appetizing – as at sweet candy. But not active, good. It is shown very brightly at the moment while gloss is caused on lips, and after you will be able to smell sweet as the perfume. The procedure of causing gloss brings the same pleasure as an easy dessert. Sometimes and there is a wish to get this gloss and to update a covering to lighten itself the mood this aroma. Perhaps in it sense of "tasty" gloss? We sit down on them as on ice cream or chocolates. And the more you try, the more there is a wish still.
Texture
This coral looks brightly in packing, but on skin becomes muffled, not shouting. The texture with a golden outflow, this warm luminescence "warms" lips, creates a soft solar patch of light. Ideally for a day make-up.
Packing
The applicator is elastic, a stick not shaky and reliable. This gloss always with me, I take it in a cosmetics bag and I put several times a day. At such frequent use it yet never failed me, the applicator remains as the newcomer, puts a product precisely, the tube is not untwisted and does not follow, the neck remains clean. Generally, to the applicator, in general to packing I definitely have no claims!
Gloss on lips
Gloss ideally slides on skin, "gets" into each fold, lays down exactly on all surface of lips. In the summer there is no wish to load itself with a large amount of cosmetics at all. Therefore I recommend to use directly on lips, without base. Feelings from gloss will be easy, weightless.
The most important difference from popular gloss – this not sticky. However, also the shortcoming is here: not sticky keeps on lips less, it is quicker pinched. It is necessary to get used to it. First updated gloss everyone half an hour. Then nevertheless forced itself not to lick lips and not to splash them. And now this gloss at me keeps on lips till 2 o'clock. For such almost transparent and not sticky product it is normal. There is an extra reason to look at themselves in a mirror when it is required to apply it on lips again.
Easy blinking was pleasant. There is an obvious smoothing effect. These are lips without gloss (naked lipstick) and with gloss – it is visible that the surface of lips became smooth, without folds.
Such lips look more attractive and young, - the makeup artist Volume Peugeot (the author of the Pure Color Collection collection) who considers gloss sensual products is right.
Structure
It is necessary to tell several words and about structure. It is important for the products intended for lips. After all probability is high that means will get into a gullet.
Structure (except for dyes, they in each shade the):
Petrolatum, Polydecene, Microcrystalline Wax, Vitamin E, Lecithin, Vitamin C, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Poly (ethylene Terephthalate), Acrylates Copolymer, Simethicone, Silica, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Tin Oxide, Fragrance, Bismuth Oxychloride, Carmine, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Synthetic Fluorophlogopite, Iron Oxide, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polybutene, Copper, Mica, Titanium Dioxide
Pleases that there are a lot of moisturizing ingredients: vitamins, wax in microcrystals. But there are also dangerous ingredients: Butylated Hydroxytoluene. Ingredients with low degree of danger and potential allergens: Lecithin, Tin Oxide, Carmine, Polybutene, Mica.
In general, structure quite good, but you should not swallow of gloss nevertheless.
Firmness
Gloss is not resistant. At most, how many the effect of alignment and a luminescence – can last 2 hours. And provided that you will not lick a lip, especially – to drink or have a bite. Solve, it is a lot of or a little. By my experience, it is an average value for the majority of classical gloss, and in my practice, so far no other gloss managed to show any more impressive result – for example, 4 hours. If gloss with a shimmer, a luminescence and not sticky, then it is hardly possible to wait from it for resistant luster as from varnish lipstick.
But the biggest shortcoming is quite high price while it is used quickly because often it is necessary to update a covering.
Why all good is so expensive?
