Max Factor Elixir Lipstick in Eternal Flame Review

There are some things which make you fall in instant love with them and this baby is one of them. You all would have hauled a lot in the “Sales” season and I am quite sure that you would have spent some money on cosmetics too! I cannot go to a mall and ignore the cosmetics stalls staring at me, it feels like a crime not to buy anything :P. Okay, I know this impulsive shopping is not a good thing, but this makes me happy and I indulge in it quite often. This lipstick is a result of such an impulse.

Product Description:

For instant fabulous colour and smoother, softer* lips over time look no further than Max Factor’s new Colour Elixir Lipstick.

My Experience with Max Factor Elixir Lipstick in Eternal Flame:

Packaging:  I am glad that the bottom of this lipstick is the same shade as the lipstick, which makes it very helpful in identifying the shades even if you are in a hurry and have more than one of these. This comes in a beautiful matte gold case which looks very classy.

Eternal Flame 2

Shade:  I got this shade just by swatching it on my hands.  It was a fresh pink shade, slightly leaning towards being neonish. I instantly fell in love with this lipstick and asked the SA to quickly make the bill as my feet were killing me.  This shade comes out to be non-neon on my lips which is a slight disappointment for me as I wanted to own a neon shade, but it is so pretty that I do not have any complaints.  This is a great shade and would suit fair to medium skin tones a lot.

Texture: Quite smooth.  This glides easily on my lips and they never feel heavy even on swiping 2-3 times on the lips.

Pigmentation: The first swipe goes sheer, but when swiped twice or thrice, the shade covers the lips with its full glory, but  I don’t think it will hide intensely pigmented lips.

Price and Quantity:

670 INR for 5 gm.

Staying Power:  This stays on my lips for 4+ hours easily, even with full meals in between.  After that, I have pink tint on my lips which looks quite good too. I am happy with the staying power, as I just have to reapply it once while in office.

I am quite happy with this formula and range and I would definitely buy a few more shades from this range. Although, I am a bit disappointed that the shade is not as bright as it looks in the shade indicator at the bottom of the lipstick or the lipstick itself.  My hunt for a poppy pink continues, but this delivers what it claims, no doubt about that.
