Review of Estee Lauder, Pure Color Swirl Lip Gloss, # 01 Berry Swirl

Initially I got around to trying Estee Lauder's Color Swirl Lip Gloss in Caramel Swirl. While the flavoring was OK, and the overall eye candy appearance was neat, the gloss itself really stunk. No color, no tint, nothing.

I got this particular limited edition, limited time gloss with its sister Berry Swirl.

I liked the overall look of Berry Swirl a heck of a lot more than Caramel Swirl, as pinks and reds are more my color. However after being so disappointed with Caramel Swirl, I sort of figured Berry Swirl would be just as pathetic.

The lip gloss is set up unlike any other Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss. Instead of one solid color, you have bands of 3 colors running around one another in neat lines up the tube.

You have a nice deep darker color pinkish red with obvious shimmer in the color. Next a pale pink, and finally a pearly pink mixed in to make up the lip gloss.

I figured though, that like Caramel Swirl, no color or tint would show up on the lips, and I would be left with nothing but a very overpriced tube of plain clear gloss. That was how Caramel Swirl worked. Plain, clear, boring, expensive. Luckily these were given to me, otherwise I would have been angry had I spent money on it.

When it comes to Berry Swirl the look is juvenile and unlike Estee Lauder's usual adult product appearances. This one is more childlike, and looks like something a kid would beg for. However even with the child like nature of the product, I was happy to have gotten it, and happy to have used it in order to give you my review of it.

In the store though, if I were to stumble upon this one, I would likely pass it up as some stupid dollar store kid gloss garbage.

The Flavor:
 
Nom. Nom. Nom. This one tastes pretty good. It has a vague berry flavor going on, doused with a lovely berry fragrance. It tastes pretty good, and it is not childlike or overbearing with a candy like flavor going on. It is just enough to make you smile.

The Color:
 
Thankfully Berry Swirl actually gives your lips a small dash of tickled pink tint. It is not a huge color change, but over pink or red lipstick and it gives your lips a nice oomph, and color change, which transforms your standard lip color into a little something new.

Overall:
 
Estee Lauder, Pure Color Swirl Lip Gloss, # 01 Berry Swirl is definitely worth looking for, however other Pure Color Glosses work much better. If you can find this one online however for a low price it is worth picking up, because it will keep them lips nicely moisturized, and gives them a pretty little pink tint.
