One reason why I usually avoid lipglosses is that I tend to eat them. By the time I finish munching on something, it's already rubbed off. No more colour or glossiness!

Here's me trying out Max Factor's Lipfinity Colour & Gloss to see if the colour really stays on. It's suppose to last for up to 10 hours without the color fading off or losing its depth.

It's a double tube connected with a double sided doe foot wand. One side the colour and the other side the gloss.

Step 1: Apply Colour

Step 2: Apply Gloss

Easy!

The colour I have is Luminous Petal. The colour comes out quite intense on my lips and is easy to apply. Just wait a few seconds for it to dry then apply the gloss. The colour by itself has a matte finish. The gloss has fine shimmery bits and a really yummie vanilla sent that reminds me of a heavenly dessert. The texture is very light with a high shine impact. My lips look great and definitely kissable! *Now all I need is to smooch Milo Ventimiglia.. LOL!!*

To complete a very simple look (coz I wasn't really going anywhere.. :P), I applied the Max Faxtor False Lash Effect Mascara. Read review here.

6 hours later with teppanyaki, a packet of cheezles, cake and hot chocolate in between, the colour was still there. But I had to reapply the gloss after each munching session. The aim was to see if the colour stayed, and most of it did with only a tad bit going off from the teppanyaki session. Though I would say this is only a 6 hour test, since I wasn't out that long.

To fully remove the colour from your lips just use a makeup remover for long wearing or waterproof make up. Yeah, the colour really stays on especially if you apply a thick layer.

Lipfinity Colour and Gloss comes in 8 colours and retails for RM48.

*Tip: When I don't feel like having intense color, I just smudge the colour on with my finger. You have to do this fast though as the colour tends to dry almost instantly this way. And instead of using gloss I just apply a colourless lip balm for a more subtle effect.

I'm sure you've heard by now that Max Factor Malaysia appointed Winnie Loo as their ambassador. Cool right!!

Max Factor started in 1909 in Hollywood by a Polish wig master and make-up artist to the Imperial Theatre of the Czarists in Russia upon migrating to America. Established as  the motion picture industry was developing for the retail market, it quickly became known as Make-Up to the Stars by 1930. From Panchromatic make up, Pan Stick, the Hi-Fi range to the "New Look", the brand has come a long way since its humble beginnings.

Max Factor finally made its way to Malaysia in October 2010 and I was super excited when I bumped into it at Isetan, Lot 10.

Last month, Max Factor organised a Make-up Demonstration by none other than Winnie Loo at its counter in Isetan, Lot 10. Winnie did a light day make-up using Max Factor's latest products and she made it look soo easy! *wait til I try it and see what happens.. lol*

It was a treat to see Winnie with her wonderous touch! I'm gonna attempt my Max Factor look soon *prepare for a disaster*. :P

I've never really had issues with my lashes. I've never owned a curler until I was given one about a few months back *still sitting pretty & unused in the box :P*. Given, that my lashes are naturally curled and slightly long. But I've always had a thing for mascaras. It's one of those must haves products that can open up my small sleepy eyes instantly. Okay, I can use falsies to make it easier but I'm terrible at putting them on *fear that it might dangle down half way while I'm walking around if I didn't put it on right*.

Enter Max Factor False Lash Effect! 

I found the Max Factor counter while walking through Isetan, Lot 10 with Miu. The short-lived surprise quickly turned into excitement. Lol! We tried on almost everything there. But both agreed that we had to have the False Effect Lashes! Alright I needed some convincing since I already have a few. Long story short, we bought quite a few things! Read Miu's review here.

Trying out mascara at Isetan, Lot 10 counter

Max Factor False Lash Effect gives you big, thick, full, long lashes. It makes you look as if you're wearing falsies *hence the name*. Pat McGrath, an established makeup artists in charge of Max Factor used the False Effect Lash backstage during Milan Fashion Week in October 2007 and February 2008. *could this work wonders?*

I got it in Black Waterproof

Yeah notice the tube! Looks like it could last you half a year. But since mascaras dry up quite fast and you're suppose to chuck it after 3 months, it doesnt really matter how long it'll last.

But what I found slightly scary was the huge brush at the end of the wand when I took it out of the tube. The Big Brush has been created with patented, thermoplastic elastomer technology and contains 50% more bristles. It coats more of each lash, volumise with every sweep and separates for a natural-looking lift & volume.  It coats from root to tip, giving you a 100% impact!!

Trust me to compare the size to lipbalms ~

As the bristles on the brush is dense it holds a lot more product and is able to coat each lash fully & evenly. Despite it's density, it glides on smoothly.

The silver tube is one of my faves! See the difference in size.

Before

1st Coat

The difference in length is obvious even with 1 coat

2nd Coat

Not only has it lengthen, I can see slight volume and the lash separates with ease.

Up til the 2nd coat it looks natural and really opens up my eyes. Though I find that it lengthens more than it volumises. I also find it quite difficult to get it into the corner lashes with the big brush. Applying with the tip tend to cause clumping. So I had to comb out the clumps with a small brush.

Difficult to manoeuvre the brush at the corners

It's as big as my eye! :P

3rd Coat

Being curious I applied a 3rd coat. Lol! But as you can see it started looking a bit stiff, unnatural and a tad bit phreakish. I would stop at 2 *winks*.

I applied to the bottom lash as well

Unless you fancy looking a bit spidery then I say don't do it! ;)

I quite like this mascara. It doesn't smudge and I don't find any mascara bits dropping off. The only problem I have with it is the huge brush. I would still use it though coz I like the way my eyes actually look awake! 

L-R: Before, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Coats
