This time of year, it’s easy to get lost in the process of shopping for others. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a little holiday cheer as well! Estee Lauder Pure Color Desire Lipstick is such a wonderful gift. This formula feels like cashmere on the lips, a truly luxurious creamy whipped feel that makes you feel as good as you look!
What you probably won’t notice, Pure Color Desire is a plumping formula as well. That tell-tale tingle you feel when you apply a lip plumping formula is non-existant with this lipstick. If plumping formulas irritate your lips, these are great to try. Lip plumping formulas are a great choice for makeup lovers “of a certain age”, because they make the lips look smoother and younger. Another claim to fame, this lipstick contains a 25% intense pure pigment, one of the brand’s highest pigment lipsticks in history!
This formula is available in 16 different shades of gorgeous, and I have three to share here with you today! Keep scrolling to see swatches of Love Starved, Rouge Excess, and Seduce.
Retail price is $44.
Retailers include EsteeLauder.com, NeimanMarcus.com, Saks.com, Macys.com or Nordstrom.com.

Love Starved is a deep wine shade with a satin finish. This shade is a super sexy date-night choice.


Rouge Excess is that perfect pure bright red that is ideal for the holiday season.


I always tend to lean toward pinky neutrals like the shade Seduce shown above.
