Maxfactor | Colour Elixir Lipstick | Pink Brandy | Review

I recently purchased this lipstick whilst browsing around BOOTS for some hair products! Does anyone else do this? Go to a shop for something specific and walk out with something completely different and without what you originally went in there for! 

Anyway, I picked this up because I recently noticed that all of my lipsticks are bright colours and I didn't have many subtle summer colours. This immediately stood out to me as I don't have any Maxfactor lipsticks and it is coral which is my all time favorite summer colour! I think the packaging is really nice and makes it look more expensive than it is, I really like the way it  has the colour on the bottom as when its in my lipstick stand I can see the colour easily.





MAXFACTOR SAY "Instant fabulous colour. Actively moisturises for smoother, fuller lips (vs bare lips). A blend of 60% emollients, conditioners and antioxidants including vitamin E." The product itself is super moisturising almost like a balm and it doesn't have that cheap lipstick smell/taste (HOORAY!) I also feel it does make my lips look fuller. The only downside of this lipstick is the colour doesnt last very long when I wear this i feel like I need to be re-applying every hour which would bother me if it was a high-end lipstick but as this retails at £7.99 (and I used my boots points to buy it!) it doesn't really bother me as I think the colour and hydration of the lipstick is brilliant.

I definitely think I am going to try some more of the colour Elixir range I would be interested to try one of the more vibrant colours to see if the colour stay is any better on those.  

MAXFACTOR Colour adapt foundation review

So I purchased this quite a while ago now and I thought I should finally do a review on it. 

The reason I bought this was because I was hoping that I would save money as it's a lot cheaper than my usual foundation. I have also read lots of really good reviews on this.

I have only used this twice because I really don't like it. The foundation has no coverage, its a horrible powdery texture and it wore off very quickly.
It is a really light foundation but it seemed to cling to my dry skin - I have had this problem with most of the Maxfactor foundations that I have tried. 
So overall I won't be saving money with this foundation and have had to go out and buy a different one!

Has anyone else tried this foundation? What did you think about it?

A mini shopping Spree.....



 I went shopping yesterday, mainly to buy some new clothes but I came across a couple of make-up goodies that I needed and I thought I would share them with you!

 

So I was in Superdrug and thought I really need some more foundation - but I was feeling lazy and couldn't be bothered to walk to the other end of town to Debenhams for my usual Estee lauder - plus I couldn't bare to pay full price and stupid me I'd just missed the sale! Anyway I was looking at the foundations and noticed Maxfactor's Colour adapt, now I like the majority of maxfactor's products beacuse they are good quality, I tried it on my hand and it seemed to have good coverage and it felt nice and smooth, so I picked it up, it was £9.99 and I got it in the colour 45.Warm almond. I do think that the packaging is a bit of a disappointment it just looks cheap its made of plastic unlike the more high end foundations which are made of glass, but I will see how it goes - you never know it could save me a lot of money!

 

 

 

Before I went to pay I popped over to the MeMeMe display as I cant resist it. I picked up some MeMeMe long wear satin lip cream, these come in really cute packaging they each have different goddess's on the side of the box and each have a different goddess's name. The one I got has Hemera on it and the colour is Coral Cloak. I have tried these before and they are long lasting and the colours are really pretty. The only down side of these are they do smell a bit cheap but I can put up with that as the colours make up for it! These retail at £8.50 but are currently on offer on the MeMeMe website for £6.50 - which is a bargain!
