Reviews
Most reviews agree that L'Etoile Sélection lipsticks have an excellent creamy texture, due to which they evenly fall on the skin and do not roll off too quickly. However, they are not able to boast of strong resistance and require coloring during the day. However, many note that there may be difficulties with re-applying - lipstick begins to spread too much. One more essential plus of lipsticks is that there is no need to apply two layers at once - they are rather dense and evenly color the lips, giving the hue the necessary saturation.
The classic form of lipstick, coupled with a noble black case has already won its positive ratings.
In addition to this, the extremely unobtrusive scent, which many do not even feel, pleasantly surprises.
The composition of the lipstick brand contains shea butter and squalane. They are designed to provide hydration and restoration of dry lips. However, in fact, it turns out that when the skin is too dry, the need for additional moisturizers remains. In addition, lipstick is not so easily washed off - for this you need a special tool and this complicates the correction of the lip line, if you didn’t apply lipstick the first time.
Another merit of the manufacturers of this brand is precisely adjusted pigments, which give a uniform color. Separately, it can be said that there are no large glitter in the composition of the “L 'Etoile Sélection” lipstick, so the gloss is unobtrusive and even. In this case, the palette lacks matte shades, which are becoming increasingly popular among the general population.
