Posted by dulwichmum on Fri 12 November 2010

Name of product: Pure Color Gloss in Star Ruby – Estee Lauder
Part of the Estee Lauder Holiday Extravagant 2010 collection

Price: £16

The blurb: “Inspired by festive celebrations, an indulgent party season look for vivid colour with glistening tones of gold”

First impressions: The packaging of this festive gloss is sleek, with an attractive gold, embossed lid. An instant festive make-over for your make-up bag

Ease of Use: To apply this gloss you simply twist the lid to open it and apply the tip of the wand to the lips. I found that the tip was quite thin which meant I had to dip it back into the gloss a couple of times before my lips were suitably covered

Pros: The colour is rich and the texture is smooth, resulting in a nice glossy finish. Perfect over Extravagant Red Lipstick!

Cons: The thin tipped applicator (although a favourite of mine) is not everyone’s choice (do I look like I care about anyone else?)

Value for money:. The tube is a good size and the texture feels expensive, so the price is appropriate

Dulwichmum verdict: ★★★★☆

Stockists: At a make-up counter near you or online at EsteeLauder.co.uk
