The new range of elle 18 lipsticks is a semi matte range. The lipsticks are not perfectly matte. The have a moisturising effect so you do not need to apply lip balm before hand. I have 3 shades from the matte range and whenever I wear them, I get compliments.
They have good pigmentation and lasts for 2-3 hours without eating any food. However, I need to touch up after eating oily food.
A great product with such low price. It costs only 100 rupees for a lipstick. I totally love these lipsticks.
