Pretty Vain
Estee Lauder Pretty Vain Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pink with neutral-to-warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had a bit more of a sheen and glow about it than other shades in the range, which tend to look glossier. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly on my lips, but the actual consistency wasn’t as smoothing nor as flattering on my lips as past shades in the same formula have been for me. The texture felt lightly creamy, smooth, and was easy to apply as it didn’t drag or tug. It wore nicely for five hours and felt hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce
The Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick formula is supposed to have “high-intensity color” in a "single stroke" that "glides on effortlessly" and has "six hour" wear. More recent copy of the formula has been more specific as it having "medium-to-full coverage."
Most shades in the range are lightweight, creamy with moderate slip with semi-opaque to opaque coverage that wears four to seven hours. The formula tends to sit well on lips and either gives the illusion of plumpness or smooths out lip lines slightly. It's also hydrating while worn.
They are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Power Trip
Estee Lauder Power Trip Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark ruby red with strong, cool undertones–which made it appear almost pinkish-red–paired with a luminous sheen. The color coverage was nearly opaque, while the color applied evenly and fluidly across my lips.
The consistency felt lightly emollient without being too slippery, which ensured the product applied comfortably but didn’t slide around during wear. It also smoothed out most of my lip texture and lip lines, so it was more flattering on. This shade lasted well for six hours, left a stain behind, and felt hydrating (and it didn’t feather on me, though that’s not something I’m prone to have happen!).

Excite
Estee Lauder Excite Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium poppy red with warmer undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that applied evenly across my lips without tugging or dragging during application. There was a smidgen of product that settled into my deeper lip lines in the close-up photo but wasn’t noticeable in person.
The texture was lightly creamy, not too thick or too thin, and comfortable to apply and to wear as it had light slip but not to the point where it felt slippery during wear. It stayed on well for five and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.
