Product Review & LOTD: Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipgloss in Rebellious Violet

It is only a short while ago I posted about a new Estee Lauder makeup being launched, the Violet Underground, and as I absolutely love Estee Lauder products, I happily accepted when I was asked to trial the limited edition Pure Gloss lipgloss in Rebellious Violet. Here are my thoughts;





What They Say:
Lip Gloss with the power to light up your face. With True Vision™ technology that transforms ordinary colour and makes it extraordinary. an intense and vibrant burst of colour with layers of crystal reflections that give an extraordinary impact.

RRP: $42 – Available from Estee Lauder counters, and Estee Lauder Online from 27th January 2013.

What I Say:

Being a little conservative with the makeup that I wear, I have to say that I was a little taken back when I first saw the purple colour of the Rebellious Violet lipgloss. No way I could wear that, that colour would look crazy on me!!

But then I tried it on… and I was so pleasantly surprised. Once applied, this medium semi/sheer violet – actually it is more like a fuchsia colour with tiny crystals looked amazing! It also makes my lips look plumper, which is not something every gloss can do!







As with all Estee Lauder Pure Colour Glosses, it comes with a sponge applicator which makes it easy to use on the go. And it has a gorgeous golden cap with the brand’s initial, which looks simply and stylish and very classy.





The actual texture of the gloss is non-sticky, and it is very comfortable to wear, as it is also very moisturising for the lips. It wears for about 2-3 hours before it needs to be reapplied.

As with all Estee Lauder lip products, it has a sweetish scent. It is not too strong and doesn’t bother me personally, actually I kind of love it, which is a good thing as it does tend to linger for a while.

All in all, I’m so surprised, but I'm in love, - I already have several Pure Glosses in other shades, but I had never thought that I’d love this shade too, but I actually do, and can already see myself be wearing this a lot. It is very lovely layered on top of Estee Lauder Violet Crush lipstick, which I will review shortly..

  1. I have only just started being more adventurous with my lip colours! This purple looks beautiful on you though I probably wouldn't have bought it off the shelf (just not that adventurous yet!) :)

    1. I've also trialled the Violet Crush lipstick from the same range (review to be posted shortly), but have to admit that I much prefer the lipgloss!
