Tout l’America is talking about Melvita since a little bird told the glossy magazine beauty editors that it is a favorite of Marion Cotillard. Melvita has just arrived in the US from France, where it started 25 years ago as an organic skincare brand. Now, I have long thought that French organic skincare was an oxymoron so I was very intrigued to see if Melvita would prove me wrong.
Qui et non. There are some good things and some bad in Melvita’s range. And we did find the cosmetic equivalent of a bidet. Mevita reminds me a lot of Angelina Jolie’s favorite beauty brand, Yonka (also French). The formulators of Yonka and Melvita are a bit like those pilots who the other week flew past the airport they were supposed to land in: they start out with good intentions and then its “Oh merde, we forgot that we’re supposed to be organic”.
Click on the images to see which of the ones we picked out are worthy of Oscar-winning Cotillard.
