Hello lovelies!
You might have seen Estee Lauder Candy Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick before, but this time it was released as a limited edition part of the holiday 2015 Estee Lauder The Makeup Artist Collection (unboxing video). Candy was just one of the three lipstick shades featured in this set along with Fuchsia Fever (review, swatches, photos) and Rose Tea (upcoming review).

Estee Lauder #16 Candy Pure Color Lipstick ($30.00 / £25.00 for 3.8 g/ 0.13 oz) is a light baby pink with a frosty finish. It has a good color payoff, it’s pigmented but still delivers a light to medium coverage.
Is the kind of innocent color I would wear on a daily basis, suited more for the first part of the day, when you want a lighter color on the lips. It does chance my natural lip color but not too much, just adds a bit of pink shimmer and a light frosty finish.
The formula is creamy, glides evenly across the lips and feels lightweight and moisturizing but it does emphasizes my lip lines just a bit. The frosty finish gives such a luminous glow and makes my lips appear fresh, but even though I’m digging the color I’m not so much into the frosty finish.
The color offers a medium coverage but Estee Lauder insists that it’s buildable up to full coverage, which I don’t think so, as even though I layered the color I’m not able to get a more richer or intense shade, just the same baby pink adorable and innocent shade.
I like how it feels on my lips throughout the day, it moisturizes them so they feel soft and smooth but I can’t say it has a long-lasting formula. Whenever I drink the color wears away and disappears completely whenever I eat. I do get about 3 to 4 hours wear with this formula without drinking and eating.
The packaging is a limited edition release, very classy and simple, so nothing sophisticated or luxurious.
