Excel Paris Matte Lip Cream are becoming really a fad in makeup industry recently. It stands for dupes of a lot of good Matte Lip Creams, such as those of Nyx, Sephora, Miners Cosmetics and the like.
Nevertheless, this product stands out by its most loved attribute, that is, it's affordability. It sells for around P50-100 in the market today, depending on what shop you would like to order it from. It stands out for its vibrant array of colors and its long lasting power.
For the past few days of using this product, I have observed my own Pro's and Con's of this lip cream, which are as follows:
PROs:
Vibrant Colors
Various Colors to choose from
Extremely Matte
Long Lasting
Does not transfer/smudge
Kissproof
Cheap and Affordable
Available
CONs:
No list of Ingredients for the 1st kind of packaging (e.g. 501)
Can be extremely drying to the lips during long hours of use
Contains Paraben
However, a major disadvantage of this product, as of the same, is also its price. Anyone who would be attempting to purchase this product would wonder why it is sold for a really low price. No one could really prove that Excel Paris Matte Lip Creams are guaranteed safe for use. It has been claimed to be Made in Germany, but we still aren't assured if these products sold in the Philippines are 100% Authentic.
Thus, unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product to my readers. But I can say that this product works for me and I have no problems with using it on a short period of time (since it can be really drying suring long use). I'd still use this product at times especially during photoshoots, as it looks great on photography.
Bottomline, it all depends on you whether you would risk using this product, or just settle for a much more expensive one not having any worries if it is harmful to your skin.
I can absolutely say that the "You get what you pay for" principle applies to this product :)
