Estee Lauder Violet Underground Pure Color Gloss in Rebellious Violet


Estee Lauder Violet Underground Pure Color Gloss in Rebellious Violet
The Violet Underground Collection features five products: Pure Color EyeShadow Palette, Pure Color Velvet Lipstick (in two shades: Violet Crush and Black Cassis), Pure Color Gloss (in 2 shades: Rebellious Violet and Chaotic Currant), Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Black Iris and Pure Color Quick-Thick Eyeliner in Punker Black. All limited edition.
Attention! This review may be seriously biased by the fact that I absolutely LOVE purple (see post below)! I try to be as honest and objective as possible but my feelings are sometimes stronger (sorry!)!

As always the packaging is very elegant, slim and sleek and it feels quite nice. It is very Estee Lauder-ish. I love it. It feels like a good quality product and it is very pleasing to the eye. It has a distinctive smell typical for Estee Lauder lipglosses but not noticeable when on the lips.

Rebellious Violet looks quite sparkly and purple in the tube but it looks less intense and sheerer (but not completely sheer) on the lips. It is very sparkly but it does not look frosty on lips just lovely and shimmery.
Rebellious Violet is very easy to apply; it goes on smoothly and evenly. The texture is soft and not gritty at all. It is not sticky. It has a sponge applicator, which in my opinion is more precise and easier to use than bristles. The finish is very radiant and shimmery (it looks lovely on Violet Crush lipstick!). The lasting power with no lip primer or balm underneath is surprisingly long, which is about 5 hours without any talking or drinking. For a lipgloss I think it is a great result!

Similar shades: I do not really own anything quite similar to be honest!
 Estee Lauder Violet Underground Pure Color Gloss in Rebellious Violet: daylight, it looks much plummier in person.
 Estee Lauder Violet Underground Pure Color Gloss in Rebellious Violet (L) and Violet Crush (R): daylight, no flash.

Overall, I totally recommend it. It is definitely my favourite lipgloss at the moment! A.
