These dual-formula composition lipsticks certainly remind me of the L'Oreal Colour Riche® Anti-aging Serum Lipstick. The Etos packaging looks humbler but the lipsticks inside are visually similar.

Dutch drugstore chain Etos released a small collection of Serum Lipsticks in May. I bought two, more because of the crème shades than the anti-aging promise and I must say, they're pretty good lip colours. I've even been able to put them on without a lipbalm base.
These lipsticks have no scent. They're pigmented and moisturising, and the texture is rich and creamy, all making the Etos Serum Lipstick a breeze to apply.

The shades that I have are simply named 002 (left) and 004 (right).

We've been seeing more and more of these built-in skincare cores in beauty products, including in concealers. They are convenient two-in-ones by providing colour with the outer bullet and delivering anti-aging goodness with extra moisturisation through the inner bullet. The inner core shrinks in my lipsticks after a while though. This is how my 004 looks after two months' use:

As I said, I didn't really buy it for the anti-aging properties and I won't comment on its effectiveness as that is something for the long, long term. I don't know if I'm imagining it but my lips feel slightly plumped when I'm wearing these lipsticks. The colours last about three hours on the lips.

DANNNG so pigmented D:
It seems weird to me with the white center, but I really love the colors!
Beautiful colors and the price is right. Lovely! Have a great sunday, Nicole x
@나니
Indeed they are, Nani! :)
@rockornot
Ah, you won't notice the core after a while. :D
@Nicole
That's right. There's not much to complain about here. Take care, Nicole, and you too, have a restful Sunday. :)
Both shades are gorgeous and they look great on you. "KTee"xx
They look so sweet and so pigmented but it's a shame that the balm thing in the middle melted and shrunk
@KTee
Thanks so much, KTee! I hope you had a lovely weekend, my dear. :)
@MissDoll
Yes, it's weird that the core shrunk but luckily, the lip colour is still very moisturising. :)
Ik heb de rode lippenstift ook gekocht, mooie kleur toch! Groetjes
@Nikki
Hoi Nikki! Leuk dat je de rode ook hebt! Het staat je zeker heel goed want het is een mooie kleur. Groetjes! :)
