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.

Topshop Make-Up Lip Marker Review.

Due to a heavy Hallowe'en weekend I gave myself the weekend away from blogging to rest from the madness, I had tonnes of fun and will be doing a post in the week when pics are uploaded (I didn't take my cam and my friend forgot hers). 

Today I was in Topshop buying my Christmas present from my mum - IT'S THIS. Awesome.

I saw some new products in the make-up range, they've actually been around for a month or so now but one item that caught my eye was the Lip Marker (I'm pretty sure it's part of the new Heavy Duty range anyway) - there was no tester but I felt brave so just bought it:

Lip Marker in 'Berry' - £7.50

When I opened it, I was like WOW because it looks like a felt tip!

I had heard this was a 'lip stain' so wanted to give it a go after reading THIS article.

You can wear the lip marker alone or add it to a layer of lipstick to add drama and give it a lasting effect.

Here I wore it alone:

As you can see it is a really bold red, however achieving full coverage was quite hard (mainly on the top lip).

I think I would re-try this marker with a lipstick underneath or over because straight after these pics I ate Pomegranate (like an animal with my hands might I add) and the marker had gone! I do love the 'stained' look, the only thing with this marker is I'd be worried about how long the pen will last as there is no way of telling and you have to apply alot for full coverage.
Oh and it smells and tastes like berries which is great!

Hope you all had a great Hallowe'en, what did you go as?
