Despite them being around for a long time, there's nothing 'old' about Max Factor. New releases from the brand pop into my postbox every couple of months and I'm rarely left disappointed with them.
New to the brand right now are the Max Factor Colour Intensifying Balms and I was sent three shades to try out.
These are designed to be applied like a lip balm and have a buildable coverage. One application will give you a sheer balm with a hint of colour, two will give you a tint with a medium coverage and three will give you a pop of color (full coverage).
You would think applying so many layers would make your lips feel cakey and the pigment would look patchy, but actually, because it's a balm, it blends in really well and doesn't feel cakey at all.
I thought it might transfer onto glasses quite easily but actually, surprisingly, this stays put for quite some time. (it smells fruity too!)
I love '20 Luscious Red' the most because I'm a red lip girl at heart and find other colours harder to wear due to my skin tone being so pale and my teeth not being as white as I would like them to be. The other shades are '10 Charming Coral' and '45 Rich Chocolate'.
Have you tried these out? what are your favorite shades?
