Have you ever been to a wedding where you are stuck to the bride and have no time for makeup touch ups or in a party where
the conversations just seem to go on and on so you just have no time to escape?
Well, that is often the case with me and I am now so tired of making stupid
excuses after every two to three hours to do makeup touch ups that I just
NEEDED a long lasting lip product. Believe me I looked everywhere from my
favorite Mac to the drugstore brands like Bourjois, Colorbar and Faces (I like
the Colorbar Velvet matte lipsticks but they stain awfully bad). So while
browsing certain blog sites for the long lasting lipsticks I came across
Rashmi’s review of the Maxfactor Lipfinity lipsticks and decided that I had to
get one of these (I have a folder on my computer where I store all the Rashmi’s
recommended stuff J).
On my next trip to Westside I got Maxfactor Lipfinity in
shade Frivolous. It’s a bright maroon brown red shade one I am sure all the aunties
in the world would love. The application is a bit tricky and can be quite a
hassle for some. There is a base lipcolor along with a moisturizing top coat.
You first have to apply the liquid lipcolor to your lips and keep them apart
for a couple of seconds till the base lipcolor dries after which you can use
the lip balm like top coat to add glossiness to the lips.
The base liquid lipcolor is quite good and glides on
effortlessly even on dry lips. It settles down into a matte dry finish. You cannot
use the base lipcolor on its won. A topcoat is needed not only to seal the
color but also moisturize the lips else you can end up seeing those fine lines.
The shade is bright and especially suited for night outs and parties. The color
is extremely pigmented and it does hide my dark lips effectively.
Once I have applied the base lip color, I then use the
moisturizing top coat. You need to keep reapplying this after every three to
four hours but even for lazy people like me who forget to carry this along every
time, the color does not fade though you can feel your lips getting dry. The only problem is the lines and the dryness which are still quite obvious even after applying the topcoat
This is the perfect long lasting lip product. It just stays
on and on and on. The color is still there even after eight hours of eating,
drinking and running around the mall. In fact I need to use a special lip
makeup remover to get it off completely. The other night I made a cardinal
mistake of leaving it on overnight (I was so tired of handling a cranky baby)
and in the morning it was still there (my MIL pointed it out).
Recommendation: If you are on an hunt for a long lasting
product then you can definitely get this..there are loads of other colors in
stores.
