Max Factor Colour Elixir Moisture Kiss Lipstick

I got this as part of the March beauty box and it's absolutely one of my fave lippies to use now, I got the Pomegranate 665 shade and it's a deep pinky shade, very lovely for any day or night looks, it lasts aaaages sometimes when I wake up the next day it's still there but faint.

I received this gorgeous lippy in my BRBB and wow, so spoilt! Like other Max Factor products, the packaging on this one is just as lush... gold and luxurious!! The lipstick colour that I received was a coral pink colour, not my usual kind of colour but what impressed me was the consistency and longevity of this lipstick. It is so nourishing, creamy and moisturising. It feels so nice to wear

I hadn't used any Max Factor products before receiving this little beauty in the March BRBB. I remember doing the survey and I selected pinks at first..then thought no try something different and go for red. I am so glad I did, I didn't even know I could wear red. Anyway I love it. I got a beautiful bright red - Ruby Tuesday 715

You do have to be careful about applying(use a pencil first) as this does stain a bit and fast too.

I was really impressed though I wore this to work and only had to reapply after lunch.I didn't get that icky look of lippy wearing off even after eating. I was told it looked great all day.

It is a lovely creamy formula and has a matt finish. And the packaging is beautiful. I don't think you can go wrong with this

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 can't believe my luck in getting hold of this lipstick. I have the colour Sunbronze, and I'm in love with the colour. It is a semi-matte finish, with a hint of gold glitter.

The formulation is fantastic! It is one of the creamiest formula's I've ever used. It leaves my lips feeling soft and supple, almost as though I had been wearing an effective lip balm. The colour lasts for quite a long time (mine lasted 4 hours before it wore off during lunch). The colour also leaves a light stain on the lips, so you still look like you have some sort of product on, even after the lipstick wears off.

The packaging is excellent, with an X carved into the side of the lipstick bullet. The gold case with the colour at the bottom is a great indicator of which shade it is when you are choosing in the morning before work.

I'm really enjoying wearing this lipstick, and will be heading out to grab some more as soon as humanly possible.

When I opened my BRBB this is one of the things that immediately stood out to me! I haven't tried anything from Max Factor yet (although I have my eye on a few things) this was a welcome addition to my collection. I got the shade Bewitching Coral, which is a crazy bright (almost highlighter) coral shade.

The packaging on this looks crazy high end. I love the square packaging with rounded corners in a really nice golden shade. At the bottom it has the colour of the shade of the lipstick, fantastic for if you had a few of these. The lid makes a rather satisfying click. I love that on the bullet itself there is an 'X' for Max Factor, its the little things that make this feel so much more high end than other lipsticks. My one wee gripe with the packaging is that when the lipstick is all the way down the tip of the bullet still sticks up. That means if you are clumsy like me you can still accidentally cut the tip off when putting the lid back on. This isn't a deal breaker though as I'm sure as I use this more the bullet will be smaller and won't stick up as much, problem gone.

This goes on really smoothly. The colour is super intense and has a slight sheen to it. This colour is incredibly bright on me, which I do really like, but maybe not for everyday. The way I like this product best is actually after I blot it just a wee bit. Takes the shine off a bit but leaves the beautiful colour. The staying power of this lippy is actually amazing. I have found myself only reapplying once in the day then I have to remove it at night because the colour is still there. Impressive. It makes my lips feel great, and I have had no problem with dryness from this product at all.

I'm really impressed with my first foray into Max Factor products and will be on the look out for more!

I'm new to lipstick - only started wearing brights this year! So when my March Beauty Box had a bright lippy in it I was super excited to add to my collection, especially because I've never tried Max Factor lipstick and this is a colour I don't have. In fact, the colour I received ( shade 827; Bewitching Coral) is not one I ever would have chosen for myself as I was working on the mistaken belief that I don't suit coral. This lipstick (and the insistence of my best friend haha) has convinced me otherwise, and I'm actually loving this look.

These lipsticks look high-end and expensive. They are packaged in square gold tubes with rounded edges and a bar of the colour at the bottom. What you see in the bar is very true to the colour of the product. When you pop the gold cap off, the interior circular tube is also gold. The lipstick is embossed with the Max Factor 'X' logo, and (as I said before) looks really impressively expensive. This alone would make it a great present for someone - it won't break the bank but looks and feels higher-end to use.

The formula is incredibly creamy, and feels amazing on your lips. Pigmentation is strong, and colour builds rapidly for a dynamic pop. Because it's creamy, it doesn't really dry/set and therefore transfers, but enough stays on your lips for a pretty sheen of colour that - while less impactful - is still evident and attractive. There is a faint scent to the lipstick, but nothing distinctive or obtrusive.

I'm keen to search out other colours in the range as well. Very impressed!

Ruby Tuesday - is a bit more pink when on than I expected, but I've grown to like it. Packaging is good & the lid stays on easily if you click it. When to raise the stick right up there is the X embossed :) I like that. Application is smooth & feels nourishing. This feeling doesn't last all day, but when you check on it, there is still plenty of colour. When drinking, eating or inadvertantly coming into contact with fingers, tissues etc, there is some transfer, but a lot less than other lipsticks I've used. Easy to get through a working day with only a couple of reapplications. - although you might want a few more to enjoy the moisturising feeling when first on.
