Max Factor Colour Elixir Moisture Kiss Lipstick

Packaging: The square gold tube reminds me of a lippy Id find in my Nanas using, it feels a little dated, but overall the gold does give it a touch of class, and the cylinder winds well.

Product: This is a lot more pearly than Id normally go for and I guess I was hoping it would be a more subtle pink, I think because it holds in my lip creases/wrinkles due to the pearly effect it makes it more noticeable and vibrant.

Wear: It is super moisturising to apply and the moisture continues to last on my lips. I don't feel like I have to be overly careful applying it as it takes to my lips really well. I find surprisingly this lasts longer than Id expect and when it rubs off it leaves a nice pinky colour evenly on my lips.

Overall: I cant see myself using this all up, however I would be interested to try more from the colour range due to how it feels on my lips and the ease of use.

I was very excited to find this Max Factor lippie in my beauty box as I have been a Max Factor fan for many, many years.

It is packaged in a very classy gold container with the Max Factor logo on the side.

Mt shade is Rosewood 833, and while I usually prefer brown lip shades, this one was not for me, as it is kind of 'pastel' for the want of a better description, and probably a shade I could have carried off better in my youth.

In spite of the shade, it is a lovely product and is moisturising and longlasting as it claims to be, and is soft on the lips.

At $24.99 it is reasonably priced.

I wouldn't buy this shade but would consider the product in a different shade being as it has a lot of other qualities besides the colour. After reading the other reviews it's clear there are some very lovely shades available in this product.

I don't actually like raisins. And I was on the fence about this color. I was given the color Raisin by the BR babes in the BRBB, and sadly, it wasn't love at first sight.

Sure, the tube is gorgeous. I love the little teaser of color at the bottom of the tube, encased in a clear plastic. The gold tube is elegant, and the lippy slides up and down easily. The color I received was a few shades darker than my natural lip color with a little red/pinky tinge to it. It was actually very natural and looked pretty nice on me.

The formula was lovely and creamy, but I didn't notice anything spectacular about the staying power. I used it in the "look" I created with things from the BRBB - but that was probably the only time I wore it. I have regifted it since to my momma, as she thinks bright frosted pink is the color for her - we have the same skin tone and NO it is not! I wouldn't go actively searching for this lippy to repurchase, but I would look at swatches and things of the sort, if I was in the market for lipstick (I won't be for a long time!)

Max Factor is one make up brand that's honestly a brand that I never considered using. I've never seen much use of it through social media hence why I never considered using it.

This lip stick has this gold casing lid that easily clicks on and off. On the bottom of this gold casing is a glass window that has the name of the colour on it underneath. The colour I was given was English Rose 510. I would describe this shade of pink as a dusky pink with shimmer in it. I wind it up and it has this X ingrained it. It has a soft sweet smell to it. A slight berry sweet scent.

On application this lipstick covered my lips smoothly. When I made my first Beauty Box look from it, it lasted me about mid morning. With eating and drinking it slowly came off my lips. I did however get compliments from the staff at my coffee house.

My results of using this lipstick were well covered lips. I did need to re apply this lipstick after eating and drinking. I do love using this lipstick. I'd love to explore more make up in their range. I did recieve this in my Beauty Box.

I love pinks and corals. So, when I saw The Max Factor Color Elixir Lipstick in Bewitching Coral in the March Beauty Box, I was extremely excited. Also, because I hadn't tried the Max Factor brand before.

Bewitching Coral is a very lovely vivid bright pink shade with a hint of coral in it. It is almost a fuchsia shade but with a hint of coral. I like the way how it instantly brightens my face. The lipstick is very highly pigmented. One swipe will show enough color on the lips. I really liked the pigmentation in the lipstick, but if you prefer sheer or less opaque shades, you can apply little of the lipstick with the lip brush and top it off with a lip gloss. It applies creamy and smoothly. I liked the creme formula of the lipstick and I loved the pigmentation and the lasting power. It lasts a really long time on the lips (8 hours and I could still see the pretty lip stain).

It smells good. It does have a slight vanilla scent to it which I find very pleasant. This lipstick comes in a glossy gold body. with the color represented at the bottom of the lipstick with a transparent covering. The shade reflected at the bottom is exactly the shade of the lipstick.

It doesn't settle into fine lines or accentuate dryness on my lips. I feel its very light on my lips. There is no prominent shimmer in it, but since its a creamy lipstick , it does add a little bit of shine and does not sit flat on the lips. I would be purchasing other shades from this range as I loved their pigmentation and the lasting power.

I received this lipstick in the March BR beauty box in the shade sunbronze- a slightly bronzed peachy shade with a slight metallic shimmer.

This is a product that stands out and grabs attention because of the flashy gold packaging with the X logo printed on the cap, it's also etched on the lipstick itself which is a nice touch, very professional looking.

The lipstick formula is as one would imagine based on the reputation of the brand and the fancy packaging, great quality that it is. It's creamy, highly pigmented, keeps lips supple, and glides on smoothly. Staying power is average, after eating and drinking reapplication is called for.

After wearing this lipstick a few times I decided that the shade just wasn't for me so i've passed it on, unfortunately for me as it's a lovely lipstick. I'd consider buying it if I saw it in a shade that I loved and it was on special, but otherwise while it's a quality product boasting a beautiful formula it doesn't stand out to me as being anything out of the ordinary as far as a good lipstick goes.

I was lucky enough to try Max Factor Elixir Lipstick in Angel Pink 610.

I love the classy packaging. Max Factor Elixir Lipstick comes in a sturdy, elegant gold tube. I like you can see the shade of colour at the base.

The lid is easy to open and the lipstick is embossed with the Max Factor Trademark "X". Max Factor Elixir Lipstick Angel Pink is a lovely, delicate shade of frosted pink. What you see in the tube is what you get on your lips.

Max Factor Elixir Lipstick applies smoothly and has a slight shimmer. The lipstick feels light on my lips and is not drying. In fact if my lips are on the dry side before applying Max Factor Elixir Lipstick, luckily it isn't attracted like a magnet to the dry bits.

I do need to reapply often as I am terrible at licking my lips and I drink a lot of water etc throughout the day.

I am very keen to try Max Factor Elixir Lipstick in other shades.

I received this lipstick in the March Beauty Box and was really pleased as I had never tried a Max Factor lipstick before. I would normally not purchase a lipstick that is promoted as 'intensely moisturising' as I find many brands to be greasy, with no staying power and taste terrible. However, this lipstick is none of these things. From the start I was impressed with the classy packaging, the colour 'view window' at the bottom of the case and the size of the lipstick. The 'X'embedded in the lipstick itself is a great touch. The lipstick is moisturising without feeling greasy and the colour, - RAISIN - once applied, is even more gorgeous than it looked in the tube. It gave great coverage with one stroke and lasted well, and even after eating there was still some colour. And there is no nasty, chemical taste. I still slightly prefer longer lasting lippy but will definitely add this to my shortlist of favourites. Can wait to try more colours.

This is a lovely hydrating lipstick that is highly pigmented. It applies nicely and gives my lips a wonderful plumped appearance. The formula is beautifully creamy which makes the lipstick glide on effortlessly. It has a nice soft fragrance and I find it does not dry my lips out, my lips stay soft and well moisturized through out the day. The lasting power is pretty good although I do need to reapply after eating. I received this lipstick in March's beauty box and I am so glad I did as I will definitely be purchasing more shades in the future.

The packaging is very beautiful and this lipstick does not settle in the lines in my lips which is wonderful.
