Estee Lauder Chocolate Whip & Show Off Hi-Lustre Lipsticks Reviews & Swaatches

Chocolate Whip

Estee Lauder Chocolate Whip Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark brown with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly, metallic finish. It had semi-sheer to medium coverage with the latter being the level the formula was marketed as having.

The texture was smooth, lightweight, and thin with just enough slip to glide across my lips without tugging. I didn’t find this particular shade to be as luminous nor as flattering to lip texture/imperfections as others in the formula, though. It lasted well for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have medium coverage with a lustrous finish. It took the Pure Color Envy formula and added shimmer to it with the end result varying from lightly pearlized to more frosted and near-metallic. The shimmer was finer in size, so the lipsticks did not feel gritty on the lips, and the particles didn’t migrate as the lipstick wore down.

The coverage ranged from semi-sheer to nearly opaque, so it really depended on the shade on how true it was to medium coverage. The formula felt lightly creamy, thinner but not clingy, and with just enough slip to be comfortable to apply and to wear without feeling slippery during wear. The shades lasted from four to six hours and usually hydrating while worn.

The formula had a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Show Off

Estee Lauder Show Off Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deeper, rosy-plum base with subtle, warm undertones and warmer, brighter gold and copper pearl that gave it a luminous, metallic finish. It had medium color payoff in a single layer, which built up to semi-opaque coverage if desired.

The texture felt lightweight, thin with moderate slip, and it was comfortable to apply and went on fairly evenly. I did find that it didn’t adhere as well to the center area of my lips, though. This shade stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing over time.
