Whew, that title was a mouthful! May I present to you the Pure Color Lip Gloss Custom, Color Collection, designed by the amazingly talented Tom Pecheux. It features six stunning shades* that range from barely there nude to a ravishing red, and I have four of them here for you to see, on my very own lips. The shades are amazingly juicy and give the lips an amazing sheen, but does the colour choice live up to their names?

Estee Lauder Red Tango

This shade was amazing, really rich and thick and gave the lips a lovely long lasting colour that lasted through wine, a curry and most of a night on the tiles. It's really rich but I love how it's quite matte as well, despite being a gloss.

Estee Lauder Perfect Nude

This is a really nice natural colour. It does have a tendency to look a little gloopy, so go easy on the application. I do like the taupe/peach effect it gives the lips though.

Estee Lauder Fuchsia Fantasy
This is a great rich pinkish colour which is easy to build up into a dazzling fuchsia. Love it!

Estee Lauder Coral Fantasy
I was very disappointed with this shade. It was barely coral at all, more of a nude, and gave the lips the lightest sheen of colour.


They will retail at £15 each and you can get them from Estee Lauder in November. They join the shades already available in the Pure Color Gloss collection for a limited time only.

*The two not featured here are Nude Rose and Plum Desire.
