Max Factor Colour Elixir Moisture Kiss Lipstick

I was lucky enough to purchase through the recent beauty vault. The lipstick comes packaged inside a square tube with an over sized gold lid with the shade of the lipstick peeking out at the bottom (great for identifying the colour in your makeup bag!). The packaging is sturdy so the lipstick stands safely on flat surfaces, which is great for when you are out in public and you don't want your lipstick rolling onto the floor or in a sink. Hands up if that has happened to you.The formula contains shea, avocado, aloe butters and anti-oxidant white tea to help moisturise lips. You can feel the oily moisturising properties on application which may not be everyones cup of tea but I have skin that tends to dry out often so I personally love it. Not only does it give my lips a gorgeous pop of colour it also leaves my lips feeling smooth and moisturised. I only get a few hours at the most wear out of it before I need to reapply, but as the product feels so lovely when I put it on I don't mind doing so.

I had a few of theses before we got one in the beauty box but I have always loved the thick creamy formula and the colours show up true to what the are and last a long time.

I got the colour "raisin" in my March BRBB.

The packaging of this lipstick is more on the elegant side. When all together it is a long square tube, the lid is gold and this is most if the length, the remainder is clear plastic that has the colour of the lipstick on it and in it. Handy if you have several of these you can just look at the end without opening it up. This is a gorgeous lipstick. It is highly moisturising on the lips even a while later if you press your lips together you can still feel the moisturising of the lipstick. It goes on really smoothly on my lips. The colour raison has a slight metallic to it, just enough to stop it being a matte lipstick and is a dusty rose crossed with a cranberry is the best way I can describe the colour. The colour lingers on the lips once the moisturising part has finished so eating while not the kiss of death for the colour you will still need to reapply. There is a slight smell to it, nice but a little undefinable.

I do see myself purchasing another one or two of these.

I got Max Factor Elixir Lipstick in 894 RASIN. it is a browny /red colour with gold tones, is a lovely colour which i feel can be used for any occasion or just on a daily bases. I love how soft and creamy this lipstick is, feel so beautiful on my lips. My lips feel moist and velvety when wearing this lipstick. Can't wait to get some more colours to add to my collection!

This lippy is bliss. The gorgeous gold case is stunning and the colour of your lipstick is on the bottom. As you wind the lipstick up you will see the trade mark X on the side of your colour. The formulation is rich and creamy and moisturizes nicely. It has a beautiful fragrance and great staying power. I will definitely consider buying more of these lippys.

So I was lucky enough to receive the lipstick in the March beauty box in the colour pomegranate which is a bright pink colour I love that we get a surprise and we are pushed out of our comfort zone to try new things and experiment with new colours. So I tried it and it is just a tad too bright I don't think I suit bright colours with my little thin lips however I loved the creamy texture and feel of this on my lips so I went and brought one in a lighter shade called flushed fuchsia!

The casing is square shape with a gold lid and the bit at the bottom is the colour of the lipstick. The flushed fuchsia is a peach colour it's quite shimmery and almost like a bit of a gloss. I live with these lipsticks the trademark Max Factor X is embossed on the actual lipstick which is pretty cool. It lasts a couple of hours if I'm not eating or drinking much.

It's easy to apply and just glides on because it is so creamy. I love the feel of this on my lips it's not drying they feel quite moisturised and soft. I can't wait to buy more colours in this range I may even pluck up the courage to try the bright coloured pink again.

This is my new favourite lipstick! I got the shade burnt caramel - which has actually nailed the perfect colour for me. It is creamy, warm, neutral and a beautiful mix of brown and pink. Has a matte finish without feeling too drying.

The lipstick is very moisturising and has good staying power. I love the luxurious packaging - gold case and the lipstick itself has an X carved into the side. The lipstick also has a mild delicious scent of caramel.

Overall, I love this lipstick. Beauty Box win!

So Im more of a lip balm girl, but I tried this Max Factor lipstick, and it looks good, and I might just be converted! Its really nice on and the shade I got was very good for my skin tone and it wasnt too bold and out there, I prefer to have very subtle shades it was a bit more than I was use to but it was suited it me well, I will definitely use it when I go out !

Having never tried Max Factor before I was very interested to get this lipstick in my Beauty Box. I have the shade English Rose and on opening it I thought it was maybe a little bright for me.

However, upon trying it........well I've used it every day since, I absolutely love it, and can't wait to go shopping and try some other shades too.

Goes on creamy, last and lasts. Colour stays vibrant and soft, not cracking, dry or hard.

I'm very sensitive to lipsticks that taste (they end up in the bin), but this one has NO smell or taste. I wish I had found these lippys sooner!!

I received this lippy in the shade Angel Pink in the last BR Beauty Box. I will be the first to admit I was pleasantly surprised about how great the wear of this lippy is for a creamy formula. The formula is very nice and smooth and goes on well with a few swipes. I seriously love the packaging and one the hint of color you can see at the base of the bullet. This shade is almost exactly the same shade on me as MAC Snob to the point where I will wear them interchangeably because there is almost no difference between the two of them. The only very slight difference is the Max Factor one has a slight shimmer in it which I really like. After wearing this all day my lips are still in good condition and I don't at all find the formula drying. I will be hunting out a couple more of these in different shades as they are an amazing product for the price.
