The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition including an organic effect pigment. The organic effect pigment includes cellulose nanocrystal flakes which have an average size in the range of from 10 to 6500 micrometers.

An objective of the invention is to provide a solid lip cosmetic that imparts a highly lustrous finish, while also being resistant to bleeding in the finish after being applied, having excellent stability over time, and further thereto, having a pleasant sense of resilience when applied, being light to spread and providing a high sense of adhesion after application. The solid lip cosmetic according to the present invention contains (A) fatty acid polyglycerides; (B) silicic anhydride having an average particle size of 1 μm or smaller; and (C) a colorant; wherein the component (A) includes (a1) a fatty acid polyglyceride having a viscosity of 5000 mPa.Math.s or higher at 25° C., and (a2) a fatty acid polyglyceride having a viscosity lower than 5000 mPa.Math.s at 25° C.; the component (a1) content is 0.1% to 20% by mass; the mass ratio between components (a1) and (a2) satisfies (a1):(a2)=1:0.5 to 1:5; and the component (B) content is 0.25% to 4% by mass.

The present invention relates to a composition, especially a cosmetic composition, in particular for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, comprising at least one aqueous phase containing at least one non-particulate synthetic polymeric gelling agent, and one oily phase containing at least one silicone elastomer, one silicone resin, and one non-volatile silicone oil comprising at least one dimethicone group, or one non-volatile ester oil, or mixtures thereof.

Aqueous mixtures can include cellulose nanocrystals and sulfonated polyester, where a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) of the sulfonated polyester is greater than 25° C. In some instances, exemplary aqueous mixtures also include one or more additives, such as pigment. Exemplary aqueous mixtures can be applied as a film that is typically hydrophobic and resilient against water at room temperature. Upon application of warm water, such as at temperatures of from about 30° C. to about 60° C., the film can be removed with no or limited abrasion and/or with no or little removal oils.

An oily stick-shaped cosmetic containing (A) a partially hydrogenated jojoba ester, (B) Japan wax, (C) a higher fatty acid, and (D) a dimer acid ester.
