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

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 masterpiece mascara

Advantages: very easy to apply, lengthens lashes, no clumping
Disadvantages: you may use it too much that it runs out very quickly

...After the last mascara I used ran out after a very short space of time, I decided to try something a little different. I saw this product advertised on the television and wasnt sure whether it would work or not, but I certainly wasn't disapointed. I love the look of this product as it is made from silver pastic with a gold top and gold writing, which makes it look like a quality product that would look good on anyone's dressing table. The writing on the packaging is clear and easy to read, but the product ingredients aren't stated which could be a concern for some people with allergies. It does however, state that the product is suitable for contact lens wearers and it certainly doesn't irritate the eyes. This product is different from other mascaras as it has an iFX brush made from soft plastic which separates lashes perfectly...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara

Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara Waterproof

Advantages: excellent coverage, increases volume and length, holds curl, great price
Disadvantages: removal is a bit time consuming!

...Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara I have tried many mascaras over the years, expensive ones, cheaper versions, until I finally found this, Max Factor Masterpiece. I opted for the waterproof version, in black. The mascara was on offer at the time in Boots so cost me around the £5 mark, if I remember rightly. The mascara itself is in a gold tube. The brush is fantastic, nice in size and I feel that it grabs the lashes perfectly, even the corners, without too much fussing about. Sometimes I like to wiggle it through to get an even better coverage. The formula is excellent; no gloops or clumps at all. The colour is rich and makes the lashes really stand out, even after just one coat. I usually only apply 1 coat, I have tried 2 and it does make the lashes feel a little heavy, although in my opinion you don't need more than 1...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara

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 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 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...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

Masterpiece Mascara

Advantages: Fuller looking lashes
Disadvantages: not cheap

...Like most women I have tried my fair share of mascara's over the years and have been quite happy with the Maybelline Great Lash mascara for some time now. I try to (if I remember) replace my old tube of mascara every 6 months, but this time instead of buying my normal replacement tube I decided to try Max Factor's Masterpiece mascara, probably largely swayed by the adverts (the one with the girl from Memoirs of a Geisha), to see if it was any better, plus it was on offer in Boots at the time which I must admit was the final deciding factor. I think it normally retails at £8.99 for a 4.5ml tube which for me is quite expensive. It comes in three colours: Rich Black; Black Brown and Deep Blue. I tried Rich Black. The blurb claims that the new iFX brush that comes with the Masterpiece mascara is the first of its kind. It is designed to...

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...

Review of Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

Aqualash - mascara of mermaids?

Advantages: Stays put all day
Disadvantages: Little expensive

...clogging! Be ideal for swimmers! *Packaging* The packaging is okay although not very eye catching, and it did take me a while to find as all the Max Factor mascara tubes look very similar. It does look very sleek and sophisticated though, this is a general rule with Max Factor products as they try to portray themselves as an up market, high quality brand. The tube comes with no box and is navy blue in colour with golden writing along the side. The writing says 'Aqua Lash Mascara'. The ingredients are not on the side so if you suffer from any allergies it is best to ask at the counter. The website (www.maxfactor.co.uk) does say that it is safe for sensitive eyes and contact wearers, is ophthalmologist tested and fragrance free. The brush is long and thin, this is not the kind of brush which is designed to volumise your lashes so...
