Pucker up with Max Factor!

Advantages: Stays on and refuses to budge
Disadvantages: CAn cake on the lipts if your not careful

...it's time to move on from lipstick covered teeth yet! All in all this is a must have for the party season and has many more positive points than negatives, I for one won't be using anything else and I'll just remember that after a few hours I need to use the top coat and I'm away! I can't live without this product and even my Mother owns one or two of them now. If you don't believe my claims nip into a chemist and try a tester if your not brave enough to put it on your lips draw a line on your hand and leave to dry a minute then try removing it?! Case closed lol PS! Boots have an offer on, spend £12 on Max Factor get free goodie box and in TK ax you can get 4 lipfinity lipsticks for £10 in a case (regular size) and in TJ Hughes they have limited colours but are £2! It really pays to look on markets and in bargain buckets you...

Review of Max Factor Lipfinity

Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation

Advantages: Evens skin tone, looks quite natural, a little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Caused me to break out, encouraged oilyness, didn't stay on amazingly long

...Ah, the delights of teenage skin. Never know what it's going to do next. One day it's dry, flakey and tight feeling, the next you wish you had a spatula to scrape all the oil off. Not to mention oh so stubborn blemishes. I personally have all these things going on, combination skin basically, and I've always had trouble keeping spots at bay. Don't even get me started on clogged pores or blackheads! Don't I paint quite the picture? Anyway, now I've recently started bringing a biiiit more money into the house, I decided it was worth going out and treating myself to a more elaborate foundation. Meandering around all the makeup counters in Boots, I was completely lost. So much to choose from, I can't even decide what skin type I have nevermind what I'm supposed to put on it...so I decided to ask a representative at the Max Factor...

Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation - a pleasure to use!

Advantages: Blends perfectly; really works to adapt to your natural colour
Disadvantages: None

...I have tried number of different brands and types of foundation over the years. I first used Max Factor Colour Adapt when I got a free sample of it after buying some other Max Factor products. Colour Adapt comes in five shades: Creamy Ivory, Warm Almond, Blushing Beige, the uninformatively-named Natural, and Golden. It claims to adapt to your natural skin tones to provide a natural finish. The free sample I received was Natural, which is a bit darker than my actual skin tone. I have very pale skin so I thought the sample would be useless. I decided to try it anyway. I applied a very small amount by putting small dots of it on my face and blending it in with my fingers. The product looked quite dark beige, but when I began to blend it in, it looked absolutely fine with my skin tone. I didn't look orange or have any harsh lines...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

Not exactly MaxFactor's pièce de résistance!

Advantages: Good, subtle daytime look, easy to remove
Disadvantages: Doesn't deliver on promises, no volume or definition :(

...volume and definition, I don't think it delivers on either. I was hoping for a more dramatic result, and I don't think the colour is very strong. I tend to wear this during the daytime for a subtle look, and for this it's perfect. The mascara adds a bit of colour and length to your lashes, but nothing major. Even with a couple of coats, the effect doesn't build up that much and I personally my lashes look better with just the one coat. However, I feel let down that MaxFactor don't deliver on their promises. I have the black mascara, and it doesn't create much impact. I said I'd be happy if my lashes looked half as good as the ones on the advert...in all honesty, they don't. Price & Availability Available in Rich black, Black brown and Deep blue, it also comes in a waterproof version. If you want more volume, Masterpiece Max is also...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara

Max Factor Colour Adapt - Highly Recommended

Advantages: Light to wear, excellent blemish coverage, natural look
Disadvantages: Wears off after a few hours

...Max Factor Colour Adapt foundation is widely available and provides good value for money. The foundation is creamy and feels light to wear, but also offers great coverage of blemishes and flawless, even skintone, providing performance comparable to much more expensive brands. Matching skintone, this foundation gives a very natural look, is easy to remove using cleanser or cleansing wipes, and doesn't dry skin out. It blends easily and the paler shades are great for those with very fair skin. Having said this, however, coverage doesn't last as long as it could, although wearing a powder over the foundation seems to help. Also, the packaging makes it difficult to see how much product is left in the bottle, meaning that I always run out suddenly, without more to hand....

Max Factor Lipfinity

Advantages: Stays on all day
Disadvantages: Looks as though it has been on all day

...Lipfinity I am a great fan of Max Factor products and buy certain items regularly but I cannot say that I am a fan of lipfinity or indeed that I would purchase it for a second time. Lipfinity is a lipstick designed to stay on your lips all day without reapplication being required. It comes in small box and has two small tubes inside. The first tube is your lipstick with an applicator built into the lid. The second is a white stick that you apply ontop of your lipstick once it is dry and can reapply dring the day. My first problem with the product is the colour. I have tried lots and lots of testers but have never been able to find a shade thats suits me (I find this unusual) I find all the colours a bit too bright for me. And my second problem is that yes the lipstick does stay on all day but it doesnt look nice. It looks as...

Review of Max Factor Lipfinity

In The Max Factor Top Ten

Advantages: A dual purpose lip stick/ lip colour that provides long lasing cover
Disadvantages: Nothing majpr

...Max Factor have given us 32 colours in the Max wear Lip Colour range, so there is plenty to choose from. Lipstick is one of my vices, I love buying new brands and ranges to try out and I also love to experiment. But what amazed me about the Max Wear lip colour range was the depth of some of the colours, you would have to be incredibly bold to consider wearing them. Max Factor stress that the range was created with a professional approach and that they wished to give everyone a chance to create an individual look using this new range. The slimline lip colour holder is extremely attractive, Max Factor have chosen to use the black centrepiece of the pencil slim case to place their name, either side of their name there is a slimline casing each with a long clear plastic cover. One end of the holder contains the lip colour and the other...

Review of Max Factor Lipstick

Max Factor Flop

Advantages: Everything but the Effect
Disadvantages: Doesn't Add Anything

...I have made it quite clear in my previous reviews on eyeliner / mascara and make up removers, that I am very much an eye makeup type of girl. Mascara has been the bare essential I cannot live without. I am lucky to have long lashes, but being fair haired, they need mascara to even be seen! I came across Max Factors false lash effect mascara in Tesco as part of a deal. Usually priced around £8 I picked this up for £6.50, and thought, considering I need something to replace my Maybelline define a lash (which is awful, see previous review) and it was by Max Factor, but cheaper than the usual price that I would not normally pay, I'd give it a go. Appearance / Packaging ------------------------------- This mascara came packaged loosely in a protective plastic box (the type you have to get opened at the till in Tesco) and not in...

Review of Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

Max Factor.Masterpiece Mascara

Advantages: Great,long,lucious lashes
Disadvantages: Some may think the price is too much

...Before I tried this product,I really dont know how I had managed with other brands of mascara. This product really is that good! I think this product came out I would guess about a year ago,but I may be a bit wrong with my estimation. I first saw this product advertised on tele,it tied in with the 'Memoirs of a Geisha' movie,as Max Factor boasted that they had done the make-up for the film. True,the advert for the film and the mascara looked pretty unbelievable as the definition on the Geishas lashes was incredible,but to be honest looked too good to be true. Never the less,I decided to buy some as my usual mascara by Benefit,set me back about fourteen pounds a time and I thought i'd give it a go,as i was nearly running out. So,I went to Boots,seeing as I have an advantage card,I tend to do what shopping I can there...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara

give your lashes the max factor!!

Advantages: great overall
Disadvantages: really hard to remove

...Packaging ************* Nice packaging, very simple and quite posh, plain black with a coloured rim depending on if your having blue/brown/ or black mascara. the wand is thick with many bristles so you know its going to reach all the lashes and give them an oompff of a lift :) Price ******* Quite reasonable price as it does last about 2 months if you use it quite often (as in everyday). shops do vary, boots is probably the most expensive place to get it from because they sell for around £6 last time i checked. superdrug does it around £5 or they might have a 2 for 1 offer on max factor products. False lash effect? ******************** It does make your lashes thicker but not in the spider lashes sense... they coat each lash evenly making it have a fanned out effect so it does give the illusion of a few extra lashes :) you...
