Estee Lauder Mind Game, Spellbound, Passion Pure Color Matte Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "rich saturated color" that gives lips a "bolder, visibly fuller, defined" result with a matte finish. Most shades had semi-opaque coverage or higher, and the semi-opaque shades often could be built up to full coverage with a second layer.

The texture felt more velvety and smooth--silicone-like in that respect--but there were a few shades that felt more traditionally creamy, and as a result, had more of a sheen for the first hour or two of wear. Only a few shades seemed more matte to semi-matte but most had a satin finish, so if you prefer a very flat, matte finish, this line doesn't yield that.

The consistency is slightly thicker, though not heavy to wear, but I found that this sometimes led to color separating around or sinking into lip lines, which was often less visible (or not at all visible) in person. They lasted between four and six hours and were lightly hydrating. They had a sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.
