It’s time for another episode of the Loving Nudes series! And we’re already at #11, which means that there are other 10 episodes you need you catch up with?!… Ten more episodes, with at least ten more nude lipstick options! Well… That’s quite a lot of nudes to choose from, if you ask me! Haha!

So check them out and let me know what’s your favourite in the comments below!

Now let’s get on to the actual review!

There’s no secret by now how much I love the Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks! I love them in every formulation they come in – the original creamy one like these I’m talking about today, the matte one you can see me wearing here and I’m yet to try the Shines, which are supposed to be good dupes for another all-time favourite lipsticks of mine, the Chanel Rouge Coco Shines ( see my faves and some funny stories about them here and here! ).

In terms of formula, pigmetation and application Intense Nude and Implulsive, the two new lipstick nudes I’m focusing my attention on today, are no exception! They’re both creamy and soft, and glide onto the lips “hugging” them with pigment, in just one swipe. They last as much as any other cream lipstick on the market, and you definitely need to reapply during the day… If not for anything else, mostly for the fun of it, believe me!

130 Intense Nude is a not-too-deep-not-too-“superficial” dusty rose shade with brown, neutral undertones which gives it warmth and makes it more wearable, and suitable to many skin tones. A perfect balance of a gorgeous Pantone “café-au-laît” with soft, rosy tones in it, if you like!

210 Impulsive on the other hand, is another neutral but a muted pink this time, definitely lighter and brighter than Intense Nude… And girlier, why not?! It will be an excellent colour option to wear this upcoming spring and I’m looking forward to!

OVERALL THOUGHTS: 

I really love these Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks in every colour I have tried so far ( check all my colour picks, with swatches here) !… And in every formulation! I highly recommend these two nude shades, especially if you’re on a hunt for a more than decent lipstick to wear at work, or in meetings! These two literally saved the day a couple of times, giving me confidence and making me look composed and on top of the situation, even if I was way, way far from that! Estée Lauder did an awesome job with this line! 

I hope you had an awesome weekend this far! 

See you soon, Beautiful!

xx, Annie
