You Shall Go To The Ball Cinderella…

I received this lipstick as part of a free gift from Max Factor, for spending over £15 just before Christmas, and it wasn’t til I was sorting through all my makeup this week that I rediscovered it. I think I didn’t really pay much attention to it originally since in the barrel it looks kinda purpley, and the name kind of backs this up, and I know from past experience that purple based lipsticks make me look like I’ve caught the plague. However, this lipstick actually wears as more of a dusky pink, with gold shimmer, but not too much! It’s actually quite pretty, and I feel quite sophisticated wearing it, like I am on my way to a ball or something…

I’ve never really tried Max Factor lipsticks before, I have one of their Liptints, but other than that, I’ve only ever experimented with foundations, eyeliners and mascaras, but I’m quite pleased with the formula of this lipstick. It’s not overly creamy, so that it smudges everywhere, but it’s not by any means matte. It’s definitely not as soft as the MAC satin or creamsheen ranges, but it’s quite nice. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly hydrating, but it wouldn’t dry your lips out by any means.

Either way, I’m quite pleased with my little rediscovery!

Do you have any Max Factor lipsticks?
