Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick in Discreet

Holding the Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick in Discreet ($34) makes me feel like a grown up. There's something special about the weighty packaging with a magnetic closure and Estee Lauder etched at the top. 

Discreet is the perfect work-appropriate "adult" lipstick. The sheer, shiny nude has a slight but unnoticeable shimmer running through it that sculpts the lips to appear curvaceous. Being a nude, it does require fully moisturized lips for perfect application. The Pure Color Envy Shine formulation is very moisturizing. I can't tell how long wearing it is (I suppose it could be about 3 hours) because it almost looks like nothing (in a good way!) and wears away into nothingness without leaving a trace of flaky lips and I don't feel like a child pulling the bullet out of my purse to reapply. 

Do you have any lipsticks that make you feel all grown up?

EVENT: Estee Lauder Spring/Summer 2015 Preview

Last Thursday, I spent a little time hanging out at the Estee Lauder Corporate Office in downtown Toronto. There, I learned about what's new for Spring and Summer 2015. I also picked up on some tips and tricks known as "3 Minute Beauty" - perfect brows, the best eye makeup application for your eye shape, sky high cheekbones, and more. They're little beauty tidbits that can be achieved in 3 minutes or less. More on this in future posts ;)
