MaXFactor Erace Concealer - 02 Fair

 Hello Girlies,

Good Evening!! Hope everyone is doing fine. Who doesn’t have Dark Circles, Tan Patches and Spots? There may be only some of them blessed with glowing and healthy skin. But for many of us those problems have become our nightmare. For permanent solutions we have to visit doctors, eat a healthy diet, use skin cream which is a lengthy procedure and ultimately we have to do but for a temporary solution the best way to hide them is to conceal them by using a good Concealer or eraser. Today many such products are available in the market, & Out of those many, I have found the perfect shade and texture for myself. So I thought I would like to share my views on it.

MaXFactor has one such product which is a temporary solution for all the above problems

MaXFactor Erace Concealer - 02 Fair

What MaXFactor claims:

Cover your dark circles effortlessly with the Max Factor Erace Concealer and get an even toned skin to flaunt. The ultra-creamy texture of this Max Factor Concealer glides slickly on your skin and offers you a perfectly smooth-looking skin. Be it spots or blemishes, this Max Factor face makeup camouflages all your flaws and makes you look beautiful. The Max Factor Erace blends evenly on your skin; while the matte finish avoids the greasiness on your skin. This Max Factor Concealer is the best formula to hide all your imperfection. A must have in every women's handbag, this Max Factor face makeup makes you ready for a quick get-together.

It can be used on top of foundation for a flawless, long-lasting effect and then set with powder for professional results

My Opinion:

The formula of MaXFactor Erace Concealer is not very creamy but not too thick, this Concealer can be easily blendable with fingers. This product covers the dark circles, dark patches and any redness visible on the skin. For best results apply a translucent powder on it.

I personally wear this under my eyes and it lasts for several hours. It’s really good for people who have oily skin because it gives a matte finish. It does not have any sparkles or glitter or any shimmer. It’s better than all the high end products, seriously this Concealer does it all. The packaging is like a lipstick tube with blue and golden color at the outer part.

It has a very light powdery fragrance which many won’t be fond of. I really don’t mind the fragrance as far as the product works fine for me.

It comes in a smaller size of a lipstick packaging, I have compared my Revlon Lipstick with MaXFactor Erace and you can see the difference below.

Price: Made in Ireland. Not sure about the availability in India but I got for 3 RO in Muscat (Approx 430Rs in India).

Quantity: Not mentioned

Pros:

·         Covers Dark circles, Pimples, Spots, It gives medium to full coverage

·         Travel Friendly, Light weight, Small in size can fit anywhere easily even in a wallet.

·         Inexpensive as compared to other high end products.

·         Glides easily with fingers.

·         Gives a flawless effect.

·         Long Lasting.

 Cons:

·         Dry Skin people couldn’t use this because it would be hard to blend on them.

·         Availability Issue.

·         Fewer variants to choose from.

·         Quantity and Ingredients are not mentioned on the product.

My Final Verdict:

I am in love with this product and surely would buy again, Give it a try if possible. As I have mentioned below, people with oily and combination skin can go for this product. Also if anyone suffering from any skin problems should consult doctor before using all such face products since the ingredients are unknown,

NOTD: Max Factor Nailfinity Nail Varnish - 882 Angel Nails

Hey Lovelies,

Hope you all are doing fantastic. I know you all might be thinking I have been gone forever, but I am back after a break of almost two weeks. I have been watching the posts of nails arts in almost all blogs and I love the nails you guys come up with.

I always wanted to do a NOTD watching all your nail art posts with lovely shades so I thought of doing it for my blog too..I recently bought a sample of this Product MaXFactor Nailfinity Nail Varnish – Angel Nails because I wanted to try this product, I have never tried MaXFactor on my nails. I have used Lakme, Maybelline, Revlon, Elle 18 shades but MF is my first sample product.

The actual product looks like this 

Price of the Product : Rs 330 (Slassy.com) for 10ml 

What MaXFactor Claims :

Always get tough on your nail polish. There’s no excuse for chipped or flaked nail color thanks to Nailfinity. Unlike other long-lasting polishes, it clings to your nail giving a lustrous, freshly applied look day after day, no matter what life throws at you. Work, shop, party or hit the gym with the confidence your nail color can stand up to the challenge.

EXPERT TIP: Matching your lips to your nails is back. Backstage at the A/W shows, make-up artists were neatly painting short, filed nails in exactly the same shade as their lip-gloss. Get your perfect pair with MaXFactor Silk Gloss for lips and Nailfinity for nails.

Directions

Apply two coats for beautiful nail color.

Product Features:

Coming on the product features what I felt after applying MaXFactor Nailfinity – Angel Nails was: It is quite Long Lasting, sometimes it looks very pale champagne pink with sparkly hint and in different light it looks like pale silvery mauve tone with sparkles. I have applied 2-3 Coats , I liked the fact that it dries real fast and gets sticks to the nails which gives the lasting results. The shade Angel Nails is basically perfect for formals and party too, because the sparkle in it gives completely different look in different lights. Also this product gives me an ultra shiny nails. It has a long brush that runs over my nails smoothly.

Ingredients:

Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, Isobutyl Acetate, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol/Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymer, Styrene/Acrylate Copolymer, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Mica, Benzophenone-1, Polyvinyl Butyral, [+/- CI19140, CI15850, CI15880, CI77000, CI77007, CI77491, CI77499, CI77510, CI77742, CI77891, CI77163] (Got from amazon.com)

 Pros:

·        It’s quite sheer and opaque in two coats, so I had to use three coats to get a deeper, richer color.

·        Available in variety of shades.

·        Long Brush for smooth application.

·        Long Lasting say more than 5-6 days without chipping / breaking off. (This depends on how frequent you put your fingers in water or cleaning stuffs)

·       Its Available online on Slassy.com

·        It catches the light, the silver tone is really prominent, but otherwise this nail color has the prettiest pale silvery mauve tone. 

Available in Gilded Ruby, Fresh Rain, Earth, Pearl Maron, Golden Peach, Midnight Plum, Dusky Rose, Angel nails, Glossy Top Coat, Midnight Bronze, Pearly Pink, Pinkandescence, Rose Petal, Percolated Pink, Redly Nightshade, Ruby Fruit, and Extra Frost.

MaXFactor MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara Review and Swatch

Hola Munchkins,

Hope you are doing great. I would be reviewing today my all time favorite cosmetic product which is Mascara and it is from MaXFactor and called as MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara

Friends this is my first Gel Mascara, I got this sample product in a gift bag kind of thing, & I just began using it lately, and I must say, I will go out and buy this product in the full size, it's just amazing and thought of sharing the review of it. J

Lets begin with what MaXFactor Claims about MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara

Get up to 400% Volume.*

Finding high impact volumising mascara that doesn’t leave your lashes looking clumpy and clogged can be a challenge. Masterpiece Max Mascara is the next generation of mascara. It delivers bold, thick lashes with up to 400% volume* but defines and smoothes at the same time for a surprisingly, sleek effect. One swipe of its high tech IFX brush gives a chic, catwalk finish in seconds – no wonder its was the official mascara of  Milan Fashion Week! For beautifully framed eyes check out Masterpiece Mascara, also available as Waterproof.

Price of MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara (for 7.2 ml) : Rs 700-800 /- Approximate

 

My Opinion on MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara

Since I got this as a gift it is too tiny (5.3 ml) (sample size). It comes in Gel formulation. The mascara has a fiber brush that is extremely good at coating your lashes with the product and at the same time separating them. Normally we wiggle a lot to separate our lashes but here I dint give any effort because the wand is very nice and easy to use. As you can in the picture it is dome shaped wand which helps us curl our baby lashes at the start and end of the eye. The consistency is not too liquid and not too thick... I have naturally fine but long eyelashes hence I don’t use an eyelash curler so I found that ALOT of mascaras clump on me. I usually apply 2 to 3 coats of the mascara, my lashes look extremely natural. Here in this case you don´t have to use eye make-up remover with oil and don´t have to rub like crazy to get this off….But people who are looking for a dramatic effect can avoid this. Its sort of a standard black mascara that doesn't flake or give you raccoon eyes, gives you definition/length/volume and holds a decent curl.

 

My Likes:

·         Gel consistency is super awesome.

·         The packaging is very much like "Max Factor" with gold and black finish.

·         It comes in 3 Variants i.e. Black / Brown Black / Deep Blue

·         When applied, it gives me dark, defined and perfectly separated lashes..

·         Its available in waterproof

·         The wand (Called as High Tech IFX Brush) which comes in it is quite easy to hold and it evenly coats individual lashes, even those hard to reach ones at the corner of your eyes and for lower lashes as well since it has got perfect dome shaped brush.

My Dislikes:

·         I am not sure about the availability in India

Would I recommend MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara:

Yes of course…I know ladies do wish to have beautiful eyes and mascara plays the important role into it…so try this one and I assure you won’t regret buying it.

LBA Rating:

4.5/5 (The reason I am rating it as 4.5 is …I believe it’s works excellent for me but there are products which can be unbeatable and which I can attempt giving a try in near future.)

Review and Swatch of MaxFactor Flawless Perfection Blush in Classic Rose

Hello Ladies,

How had you been??  Hope everything is fantastic at your end. Today I am doing a review on my recent purchased Max Factor Flawless Perfection Blush in Classic Rose.

What company says about it :

A healthy looking flush doesn't have to be out of embarrassment anymore this sheer, soft blusher blends easily into your skin leaving a hint of color that completes any makeup look. Use it to define your cheekbones or simply let the luxurious and soft texture freshen your complexion. It works just as well over bare skin as it does on top of foundation.

Ingredients:

Talc, Mica, Polyethylene, Zinc Stearate, Dimethicone, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Dimethiconol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Sodium Polyacrylate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Aqua, [+/- CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77007, CI 77499, CI 15850, CI 75470].

Price : Rs 580 /- (Slassy.com Click here to buy)

My Opinion :

It is easy to blend into the skin even though it is highly pigmented so I would recommend applying a little and building it up. It has some shimmer in it which makes the blush great. I in fact love this blush on my skin tone, it gives such a pretty glow with a sheer wash of color and it blends so very well. The brush included with the pack is not very dense and it hurts me when I apply it on my cheeks.

My Likes:

·        Blends Well

·        It’s a bit shimmery, which doesn't make me use any highlighter

·        Good for summers

·        Total 6 colors to choose from.

·        Good for Indian Skin tone

·        Can be applied with fingers

·        Very Inexpensive as compared to other brands

My Dislikes:

·        It can be a little dusty /Powdery . 

·        Would love if a small mirror is also attached.

·        The brush that comes with it hurts me. (this is my personal opinion, other may not be affected depending on the skin)

Would  I recommend:

Yes, I found it suiting my skin tone and inexpensive too for a better quantity.

LBA Rating:

3.5 / 5

Max Factor Smooth Effect Foundation - 55 Buff Beige

Max Factor Smooth Effect Foundation - 55 Buff Beige

Hi Ladies,

Good Evening!! How are you doing today?? I am starting with a review on one of my Favorite Foundation that is from Max Factor.

Company Claims:

For a luminous and vivid look that really makes an impact, a sheer and smooth complexion is a must.

Designed to work seamlessly with the Max Colour Effects Collection, Smooth Effect Foundation lets you max out your colour and make a lasting statement.

Some useful info about Max Factor.

Max Factor is known as “the make-up of make-up artists”. Mr Max Factor himself was responsible for countless cosmetic innovations – from the first full-face foundation to false eyelashes – and defined the 'look' for generations. The glamorous looks Max Factor created for Hollywood screen goddesses defined the concept of beauty in the 20th Century and were copied by women all over the world.

 The huge impact of these styles, coupled with the stars’ endorsement, created glamorous beauty looks that every woman wanted to emulate.

Not only was Max Factor the creator of cosmetic products, he developed numerous make-up techniques – both for movie special effects and beauty looks. This expertise in original make-up techniques for the world of beauty evolved and developed throughout the years. The principle of instilling product knowledge and application techniques to beauty consultants continues today.

Price : 4 RO for 30 ML , Made in Ireland

Features:

The shade matches my skin tone flawlessly. The product felt very lightweight on the skin, drying evenly with a good coverage. It gave me just the right amount of cover without feeling like I had lots of foundation on. This foundation stayed in place so well, that when I came to reapply in the evening, I found I didn't need to. Better to apply with a brush.

Ingredients:

Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Talc, Sodium Chloride, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Methicone, Silica, Laureth-7, Trihydroxystearin, Sodium Dehydroacetate ,Hydrogenated, Soybean Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Paraffin, Synthetic Wax, Trisodium EDTA, Stearic Acid, Microcristallina Cera,Mica, Ethylene Brassylate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Barium Sulfate,Propylparaben,[+/- CI 77891,CI 77492,CI 77491,CI77499]

Pros:

·         Comes in a very handy tube so easy to apply.

·         Light Weight Tube can be easily carried in your bag.

·         The finish and coverage is just right for me, this is probably the most natural looking, skin-like foundation that I've tried.

·         Variety of shades to choose from light to dark.

Cons:

·         Although the color matches me pretty well, but I believe I'd prefer a slightest darker shade if I repurchase.

·         I do find this foundation somewhat similar to Maybelline's Fit Me.

·         Ingredients are not mentioned on the tube.

Recommend:

I do recommend Max Factor foundation if you have dry to slightly oily skin and want a natural looking foundation with light to medium coverage. 

LBA Rating:

4/5
