Moisturising lippy with good, soft colour and satin sheen., 12 July 2016

This is a nice lippy - I bought the Rosewood shade hoping it would suit my 'cool' skin tone, and it was a good guess. Always difficult to gauge right when buying from the 'net, but I hate shopping for makeup on the high street and I don't want to spend a fortune either.This gives a good, soft colour, satiny pigments. Ideal for mature skins, it's not glossy or shiny, but neither is it like a dry crayon.Subtle, pleasant scent, easy to apply straight or with a lip brush.Colour stays on, no 'bleeding' or slipping, but has nice moisturising qualities.I don't wear much makeup, mainly just for work, so it needs to look fairly natural, and this shade does the job nicely.I didn't like the lipstick case - the top felt a bit cheap and I did wonder if the product was going to be everything it should have been, but the case is Max Factor 'watermarked' and so is the lipstick, which also looks, feels and smells nice, so any 'doubts' were allayed.

Refreshing Colour, 26 July 2013

I love the colour and my daughter has bought one the same. The colour seems to suit any hair colour as my hair is white and my daughter has dark colour hair.

Doubts about product freshness, 8 Aug. 2013

The colour was good - and quite accurately depicted in the photograph. But sadly, the "fragrance" was a bit like old cardboard, which makes me doubt the freshness of this lipstick. I'm afraid it's not the first "stale" lipstick I've recently purchased from Amazon.uk, which is rather disappointing.
