Hi girls,
We all love our reds. I prefer matte reds but once in a while, a red gloss to go with another matte lipstick is always welcome. This was a shiny red gloss I picked up from Boots UK. See how it turned out to be below:

My Experience with Max Factor Captivating Ruby Color Elixir Lip Gloss:
The gloss looks so attractive in the golden and clear packaging. The red is true to its color, so bright and shiny. The wand is a simple average doe-foot applicator, nothing special, but I like the overall tube. The color is a water-shine red. It does not have any shimmer to it. I would say it has some color to it.
It is not a sheer gloss; neither is it too thick nor too light. You can wear it on its own, or over lipstick. The gloss does not feel sticky.
When you apply it, it tends to bleed out a clear liquid, which I hate. The gloss bleeds on me in half an hour, so having meals with this one, is not possible. I don’t like the look of the gloss post 30 minutes. It doesn’t stain and vanishes in a messy way in two hours.
Pros of Max Factor Captivating Ruby Color Elixir Lip Gloss:
• Pretty red color.
• Water shine finish.
• Good to top up your matte lipstick.
• Pretty tube.
Cons of Max Factor Captivating Ruby Color Elixir Lip Gloss:
• Bleeds very soon.
• Gets messy
• Vanishes in two hours
• I wish it were thicker, to stay longer
Would I Recommend/Repurchase Max Factor Captivating Ruby Color Elixir Lip Gloss again?
Not really, there are better thicker longer lasting red gloss for this price.
