Chain of stores L'Etoile - one of the leading in the Russian market, it includes hundreds of stores throughout the country. Among the assortment you can find both well-known brands and the chain's own products. The latter includes an extensive line of lipsticks of a fairly budgetary cost.

The company began to sell its own cosmetics in 2011 under the brand name "L'Etoile selection". Since then, more than 10 thousand cosmetics have been created, and many of them have achieved high competitiveness against the background of similar products from other brands that are sold in stores, including as a unique distributor.

Since 2008, Patricia Kaas has been the face of stores (and later cosmetics brands). She embodies the idea of ​​the whole philosophy of L'Etoile - French, Parisian with refined manners and endless charm that wins hearts. The desire for beauty, uncompromising quality - all these are the leading concepts in the production of brand cosmetics.

The brand is positioned as affordable cosmetics that can transform a woman depending on her desires.To make the image more youthful and frivolous or, on the contrary, serious and strict, to give yourself charm or youthful enthusiasm - all this is real with L'Etoile selection cosmetics. And L'Etoile lipstick plays an important role here.

The entire line of products for lips is distinguished by rich palettes of shades - matte, with gloss, classic and bright. Finding the right lipstick or gloss is not difficult, and with it, to realize your dreams. This is very important, because the brand "L'Etoile sélection" was inspired by the fairy tale about "Cinderella", which shows how a person can be transformed and how important it is to help him achieve what he wants. At the same time, laboratory research and detailed market analysis of trends allows the company to produce the most relevant and high-quality products.

Among the cosmetics of the brand there are both lipsticks and balms and lip glosses. However, the composition of lipsticks allows, if necessary, to manage only with them - they give a fairly persistent shine and moisturize the lips.

All cosmetics are packaged in laconic black cases with an emblem in the form of a golden star, which, as customers have repeatedly noted, on the one hand look absolutely standard, and on the other, please with functionality and workmanship. With this lipstick, you don't have to worry that it will open in a cosmetic bag or bag, spoiled and stained everything around - the case lid fits very tightly, and spontaneous opening is excluded.

Of the minuses, one can name the fact that the distribution area of ​​the brand is limited to L'Etoile stores and the assortment is not always replenished on time, especially in distant regions.

All products of the L'Etoile sélection brand have French names, but most of them are understandable at first glance and without knowing the language. All of them emphasize belonging to the French style and the famous splendor of the luxury of Parisian theaters, cabarets and social receptions.

Lipstick "Comme IL Faut» includes three groups of shades - casual, cocktail and black tie. They are distributed according to the saturation of tones and their specialization. "Comme IL Faut casual”- these are translucent shades that perfectly complement natural makeup without weighing down the face. "Comme IL Faut cocktail» - bright, but light colors that are ideal for daytime makeup. "Comme IL Faut black tie» differ in saturation and includes shades up to brown and burgundy. Best of all, they are suitable for evening make-up or a bright everyday look.

Shades 202 and 204 belong to the casual category and are distinguished by pleasant gentle tones that are close to skin color. The first is perfect for fair-haired owners of skin with a pinkish undertone, and the second will shade yellowish or slightly tanned skin.

Shade 214 of the entire palette causes the most controversy. But it should be borne in mind that this rich brown tone was not created for everyday makeup and is not suitable for everyone. First of all, the owners of the autumn color type with a dark or warm subtype can pay attention to it. Others should be careful with it, otherwise the lips will turn into a brown blot in the middle of the face.In addition, L'Etoile selection lipsticks are distinguished by the fact that their shade can vary greatly depending on the lighting. Therefore, before buying, be sure to test the swatches not only in the store, but also on the street in daylight.

Tone 216 can be called one of the most successful in this palette. This shade varies from dark cherry to dark red in different lighting conditions, making the evening look beautifully fatal. This color is close to marsala - one of the newfangled creations of colorists.

«Rouge Desir" is a sensual lipstick with a creamy texture. At the moment, her palette includes 24 classic shades for every taste. These are mainly pink, red and coral tones. This lipstick is distinguished by a glossy sheen that lasts for several hours and rich colors that do not look vulgarly bright. Due to this shine, the lips also acquire additional visual volume.

Some of the most popular shades are 419, 408 and 407. The first one is a rich pink that is perfect for tanned skin, so it is a must have item for use in summer.

Most reviews agree that L'Etoile sélection lipsticks have an excellent creamy texture, thanks to which they lie evenly on the skin and do not roll off too quickly. However, they cannot boast of strong stability and require tinting during the day. At the same time, many note that it may be difficult to re-apply - the lipstick begins to spread too much. Another significant plus of lipsticks - there is no need to apply two layers at once - they are quite dense and evenly color the lips, giving the shade of the necessary saturation.

The classic form of lipsticks, coupled with a noble black case, has already won its positive ratings.

The brand's lipsticks contain shea butter and squalane. They are designed to provide hydration and repair dry lips. However, in reality, it turns out that with too dry skin, there is a need for additional moisturizers. In addition, lipstick is not so easy to wash off - this requires a special tool and this complicates the correction of the lip line, if the first time the lipstick did not work out exactly.

Another merit of the manufacturers of this brand is precisely calibrated pigments that give a uniform color. Separately, it can be said that L'Etoile selection lipsticks do not contain large sparkles, so the shine is unobtrusive and even. At the same time, the palette lacks matte shades, which are becoming more and more popular among the general population.
