In the modern world, where the entire industry of fashion and beauty works for the benefit of women, in the conditions of the huge choice that we have ever had, the German manufacturer of decorative cosmetics Cosnova GmbH in 2004 founded the Catrice brand. The brand’s history has not been around for many years, but it has already managed to win the hearts of women from all over the world with sincere concern for their interests, manifested in excellent product quality and affordable for all prices.

The company produces a full range of decorative cosmetics - from mascara to nail polish, but in this article we decided to tell you about lipstick Catrice. Today we will get acquainted with its features and composition, talk about how to choose your shade and also consider all the brand lines in more detail. And together we will try to find out if you honestly deserve success. Catrice or it is just the result of successful marketing.

First of all, it is worth noting the good German quality of Catrice cosmetics and affordable prices, as well as a rich palette of shades. Among the variety of tones, you can precisely choose your own color that suits you personally, ranging from gentle, romantic, elegant pastels to exotic, rich, bright and deep tones.

The company updates the range every season - once every 3 months, immensely delighting fans with new products and allowing them to always be in trend. Periodically, Catrice collaborates with both well-known and not-so-great designers, and then a limited collection is born as a result of joint creative efforts.

Lip care for the brand is provided by a wide range: several types of lipsticks (matting; liquid; in the form of a felt pen), gloss (glitter-cushion; semi-matte gloss; gradually emerging pigment closest to the natural), as well as a new product in the world of cosmetics - trendy , two-color stick " Ombré Two Tone Lipstick “.

The brand represents several lines of beauty products and care for the delicate skin of the lips. We present you some of them with a brief description:

"Ombre Two Tone“ - innovative lipstick. Two contrasting saturated colors - light and dark, create a trendy gradient effect. Presented in six shades.

"Ultimate Stay Lipstick" - semi-matte and durable lipstick. In this line eight tones from elegant nude to juicy crimson color.

"Luminous Lips" consists of 6 colors. The uniqueness of this line is that one of the components in the composition is hyaluronic acid, which deeply moisturizes and visually increases the volume of the lips.

“Ultimate Color Lipstick” - deeply pigmented lipstick with a light, sweet and according to the opinion of most users is absolutely non-irritating smell. It consists of 14 shades.

"Velvet Matt Lip Cream“ - liquid lipstick. Despite the "frosted" name, shine is still present. On the official website of the manufacturer is presented in 9 colors.

"Lip Glow" - moisturizing balm. The pigment is absorbed into the lips, the color appears after a few seconds and lasts for 8-10 hours.

"Dresser Shine Stylo“. Light creamy texture covers lips with fashionable satin shine. Selection ranges from pale pink to bright red.

"Supreme Fusion Lipcolour Care."A creamy consistency provides a silky radiant gloss. The color of lipstick from a dark tone in the center gradually shifts to a lighter one along the edges and creates a radiant effect.

When choosing, it is recommended to be guided by your color type. Brunettes fit bright, juicy, warm colors - coral, ruby, orange, terracotta, scarlet, etc. Girls with fair skin and fair hair should prefer pastel, delicate tones: pink, lilac, semi transparent plum, beige, etc.

One of the choices is seasonality - in the spring and summer we want cheerful bright colors, while in the fall and winter strict restrained tones are more appropriate.

Catrice cares about its customers and uses absolutely safe for health and, whenever possible, natural ingredients. Contains moisturizing ingredients and vitamins to ensure the health and beauty of your lips. It should be noted that the composition of decorative cosmetics can not be completely natural, as in this case it is necessary to sacrifice the persistence and intensity of color. We will try to decipher the composition of "Ultimate Color Lipstick" for example:

• Pentaerythrity Tetraisostearate it is safe when used as intended (for external use), but individual intolerance is possible;
• Polybutene. The CRI expert group, after a thorough study of the substance, on the basis of scientific findings, confirmed the safety of using this component in cosmetics;
• Octyldodecanol can cause skin irritation only in the case of individual intolerance;
• Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax) - like the previous component, in case of individual intolerance, it can cause allergies;
• Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate - vegetable emulsifier that forms and maintains a thin cream emulsion;
• Paraffin - a product of oil refining (it sounds not very pleasant, but a substance that is really useful in cosmetics, which was used even by our grandmothers);
• Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 - synthetic lanolin substitute;
• Candelilla (Euphorbia Cerifera) Wax - natural product of plant origin;
• Ozokerite - one more absolutely safe product of oil refining;
• Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate safe, has protective properties;
• Behenoxy dimethicone - silicone polymer, safe for health, most importantly, do not forget to wash away on time;
• HDI / Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer - mineral filler, gives smoothness to the final product;
• Tocopheryl acecetate - everyone's favorite vitamin E, which slows down the aging process;
• Silica - silicon. Safe natural component;
• Talc - harmless mineral;
• Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride - natural skin softener and moisturizer;
• Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate - Antioxidant, protects against ultraviolet rays and the harmful effects of the environment;
• Aroma (flavor) - perfume;
• Benzyl alcohol- a rather aggressive substance that causes skin allergies, in severe cases, can cause paralysis of the upper respiratory tract;
• CI 15850 (Red7 Lake), CI 19140 (Yellow5 Lake), CI 42090 (Blue1 Lake), CI 77491 (Iron Oxides), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide) - chemical dyes.

As you can see, the company really tries to stick to its statements, of which only one is alarming. Let's hope that its quantity in the composition of the product will not allow any harm to our health.
