I was looking forward to trying out the new formula of lipgloss from Estee Lauder called Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquer.  I had six shades of these to try out, and I was able to create a video review of these, so stay tuned!

First of all, the close-up photos of the applicators show that they are not your usual doe foot applicators.  They are more of a paddle-shaped applicator, and I usually see this kind of applicators on glosses that have a very thick consistency, like more of opaque, liquid lipsticks.  I've seen these applicators in BareMinerals Pretty Amazing Lip Colors and MAC Pro Longwear Lipglass.  In fact, as I'd mentioned in my video review of the New Estee Lauder Pure Color High Intensity lip lacquer which will be up soon, since Estee Lauder owns MAC, I'm pretty sure that the High Intensity lip lacquer and MAC Pro Longwear Lipglass have very similar formulas.  They are both quite tacky in texture, very longwearing because of the stickiness, and the colors are very rich and pigmented, as you can see in the swatches.

Here are some lip looks using the Estee Lauder Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquers.

My favorites
from the ones I've tried are Flash of Fuchsia, a very opaque, vivid hot
pink.  Hot Cherry is also my favorites for nights out because it really
makes your lips stand out with its gorgeous, bright red hue.  Ruby Glow
is your bet if you want a deeper, more vampy red than Hot Cherry. 
Electric Wine is deeper than Ruby Glow and is my least favorite, as I
feel that it is too dark on  me.  If you want a neutral shade, Vinyl
Rose is a nice neutral pink.  Chrome Kimono is my everyday shade for
work, a very safe, wearable, but pretty pink.

All in all, if you are looking for long-wearing, almost liquid lipstick-like lipglosses, the High Intensity Lip Lacquer is for you.  If you want a sheer, non-sticky lip product, I suggest you look somewhere else, as these lipglosses are quite tacky, hence contributing to its long-wearing power.  However, since fall is fast approaching, the intense, color-saturated shades of these new lip lacquers are perfect for fall and winter.

The Estee Lauder Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquer retails for $25 at all leading department stores nationwide, and at esteelauder.com.  Watch out for my video review of these products with live swatches real soon.
