I received this sample from Sephora and thought it was so cute and generous. I have never tried Estee Lauder products before and thought this was give me a chance to test them out and see whether they are worth the high price tag. I received the shades Magnetic Magenta, Fireball, and Violet Electra.
Magentic Magenta: I had such high hopes for this shade but I have to say it's my least favourite out of the bunch! The formula of these are very creamy and somewhat sheer which don't work with a dark shade. I think this colour looks super dated due to the frosty finish and could be so much better if it were a cream.
Fireball: This orangey coral shade is my favourite. It's a very unique and pretty colour and just light enough that the creamy finish works in it's favour.
Violet Frenzy: This isn't violet at all, to me this is a deep bright pink. Violet Frenzy is pretty just not unique enough to justify the price.
Would I purchase these? No. There are much more unique lip colours out there for a fraction of the price. These don't feel particualry luxurious either.
Availability: The Bay $32
Ouch quite expensive! They do look nice on you though, but I know what you mean about there being more exciting colours out there! I always over look Estee Lauder. I associate them more for a more 'mature' audience.

They all look lovely but I especially like the look of Violet Frenzy. I've never owned an Estée Lauder lipstick but have been eyeing up one called Pink Sand, it's so nice ;) xx

I really like magentic magenta on you! But Fireball is really lovely too xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice sample! The colors look gorgeous. I really like Fireball too.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Sephora's in the US don't carry Estee Lauder. It would be nice if they did though!
ReplyDeleteFireball looks lovely. I think Ester Lauder is trying to gain a younger crowd and I like the new liquid blush and some of the limited edition stuff they come out with. We have Clinique at some Ulta's so I wouldn't be surprised if Estee came to Sephora to gain more market. Plus Double Wear is the #1 selling foundation in the US.
ReplyDeleteThat is a generous freebie- nice! Love the pigmentation and finish of these. All three are quite pretty. But I think Fireball is my favourite of the three as well- I'm such a sucker for orange-toned reds :)

loving the coral-ish one! I've never seen lipstick samples like that :0
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame the first one was a disappointing formula - the colour looks gorgeous on you!

ALL of them look good on you, even the magnetic magenta!
ReplyDeleteOf course all of these colors look beautiful on you, but I agree with you that "Fireball" is the best one. :) I think I saw the display of these lipsticks and didn't like most of them because they had a "dated" shimmery look.

I think they all look beautiful on you. I'd probably only get one of these if there was a unique colour, and at GWP time.
