I was on the counter a few weeks ago where I picked up this pretty lip set:
I bought it because £5 goes to charity (Breast Cancer) and its only £20 which is a good price for a lipstick, gloss, liner and case.
There are two variations – Elizabeth (Hurley) and Evelyn (Lauder) sets. The Evelyn set was more pigmented, a bit more grown up and sophistcated and the Elizabeth is a little more sheer, a bit younger in general. (Did you see that? I didn’t make one snarky comment about Elizabeth Hurly and her constant boob-flashing).
It comes in a pretty pink fake snakeskin case…cute!
See swatches after the jump!Here is what you get. The gloss doesn’t look full size but it certainly isn’t a tester size. Everything is very adequately sized and will last a fair while:
I remember my mother used to carry her lipstick around in a little case like this, did yours?
Here are the three products:
The lipstick is a slightly sheer, corally pink:
The gloss is pink but quite sheer, with sparkly bits:
Swatches:
Everything works very well on its own, or separately. You can’t argue I guess, with a soft pretty pink – goes with everything. Lipstick and liner (excuse my dry lips):
With the gloss on top:
I look like I’m puckering up there for a snog, commmeeee here my pretttyyyyyyyyyy.
You can buy the lip sets on Estee Lauder Counters or here.
I would certainly consider buying the Evelyn for my mother or aunties as a Xmas present.

I wanted to buy this set mainly for my Mom , leaving the gloss for myself, but the SAs didn’t let me swatch it. They only had one for exhibiting, and it wasn’t allowed to try >_> So I left without trying and buying T.T

Hi Mary
Thats bad – the SA should always have a tester out for you to check the colours!!!!! Thats TOTALLY silly and I don’t blame you for not buying it!
