Maxfactor Lipfinity Lip Tint Pen - review + swatches.

Some of you may remember this post I did on the Topshop Lip Marker - well it turns out it wasn't as great as I had hoped, within 2 weeks it was really dried out.
Then I heard that Maxfactor was bringing out a whole range of lip tinting pens I thought I'd give the whole 'drawing on your lips with a felt tip' fad another go!

This time I waited until a month after I bought it to review it so here it is:

There are 6 different shades, I picked up the most 'red' one named 'Royal Plum'.
£5.99 Superdrug.

1st one is what I could get out of the Topshop lip pen.
2nd is the Maxfactor.
Maxfactor on. It also lasts a long time - it's not fully waterproof but it dries fast and lasts a long time.

It is definitely better (and cheaper) than the Topshop one, it's easier to apply and also you don't need to keep going over it. It's been a month now and it hasn't dried up at all which is great. Probably not ideal for a night out but definitely great for daytime/work/uni/whatever.



Thought I'd just show you all my make-up box :)
Hope you all had a great weekend! Anybody watching the Oscars tonight? I will be staying up late watching a live-stream.

  2. I love the felt tip thing as it seems so much easier, I'm crap with lipstick, I hate it when it's too wet as I always forget I'm wearing it and smudge it - probably my fault for constantly grazing on food...

    I so want to watch the Oscars but will definitely fall asleep, instead I'll just slag off the dresses tomorrow.

  4. Bum. I bought the Topshop Lip Stainer as well (after reading your post on it) Only really used it for the first time yesterday, it's SO hard to get an even colour! Definitely want to try these max factor ones! x

    PS i want a make up/tool box! Where is it from?x

  5. it looks better on than i thought it would, but it still doesnt appeal to me. Maybe its just the idea of it being a pen? x

  6. I definitely need to get myself a make-up box like that!

  8. I am really tempted by this - I already use the lipfinity combo for my 'grown up' makeup and am a big fan, but I much prefer a tint (I use Benetint, but two or three layers) for normal times.

    I will definitely be buying one of these!

    p.s. I have the same make-up box in fuchsia pink. It is ace.

  10. This is such a nice colour! I've always been curious about the felt tip pen style lip colours so I think I'll give it a try, I've got some Boots points to use up anyway! I bought one of those lip colours from ELF where you twist the tube and it comes out of the sponge at the top (how crap is my description?!) and it's actually quite good - more like a gloss than a lipstick though. x

  11. Oooh I love this, the colour looks really intense! I love your makeup box too, mine's all stuffed in a little vanity case from Primark. :/ x

  12. Why would it not be good for a night out but is great for during the day? Maybe this is a silly question!

  13. I think I need one of these! Well, I don't NEED it, I just want one! It looks gorgeous on you x

  15. I love these Max Factor Lip Tints, I swear by them now. Much quicker and easier to use than the liquid lip tints, I end up getting them EVERYWHERE! x

  16. Been waiting for a helpful review of this for a while! Love the colour you got out of it, will definitely have to give it a go :) xx

  17. That colour is gorgeous on you! I love it, may have to try it for myself xo

  18. Oh yay, was thinking today I should have popped into Boots to have a test of one of these. I'm rubbish with lipstick and tinted balms or polishes never seem to last half an hour cus I'm constantly feeding food in my mouth! Looks great so will have to try!

    ReplyDelete
  19. It seems like it would be weird "drawing" on your lips! I feel like I need to try one out!

    ReplyDelete
  20. such a lovely colour, wish i could rock red lips like you do xx

    ReplyDelete
  21. oooh i've stared at this a few times but haven't plucked up the courage to try it. may have to give it a go now! glad i didn't bother with the topshop one now :/ rubbish! xo

  22. oh wow it looks brilliant. i always think the whole felt tip pen idea is a bit strange, but it works wonders i guess! i didn't have high hopes for topshop make up, i'll be honest.

  23. I have been umming and aarring whether to try this lip pen, but now I'm going to go straight ahead and buy it. I was going to buy the nude shade, but the colour your wearing is just so beautiful I think I have changed my mind!

  24. I swear I will get the one I want in the end haha,oh glad to read about the Topshop one was thinking of going for that instead. You have the most amazing pout !! Pout perfection, and I think if I they don't have the plum colour I will just try whatever superdrug has as I really want to try it. Thanks for the review kitten xxx

  27. I saw it, but the reviews on it seem to be generally quite bad, i guess for the prices it an ok product, it rather use a lip pencil and illamasqua's opaque lip gloss.. (my new fav combo)

  29. This looks gorgeous on you. I love the idea of lipstick in a pen, sounds like it'd be fun to apply!
