I've been looking for a long lasting lip colour that actually works for a long time and I thought I'd give Max Factor's Lipfinity a try.
I'm going to a wedding in a few days and have been searching for the perfect light pink shade that will compliment my skin tone as well as stay in place throughout the day. I was in Boots and spotted a 3 for 2 on Max Factor products plus a whole podium dedicated to their lip colour range. I swatched this product on the back of my hand and continued to browse the section.
After no more than 60 seconds, I gave it a quick rub to check the staying power and - no word of a lie - it wouldn't budge. Not at all. I bought it then and there, only to discover when I got home that its also 100% waterproof. No amount of soap, water or makeup remover would actually shift it.
The packet recommends oil-based makeup remover but as an oily skinned person, I own none of that. I ended up having to get out the roughest loofah I have to scrub it off my skin.
In short: it definitely lasts!
I've since worn the product on my lips and can confirm that it definitely lasted 12+ hours for me. The colour goes on like a thick lip gloss but dries after a minute or so. It feels uncomfortably dry at that stage but that's why the product comes with a balm. Once the colour is set, you can whack on the balm and take the balm part with you to add a sheen throughout the day as required.
Personally, after the initial application I topped my lips with chapstick which worked just as well.
All in all, I would recommend this product. At £10.99, it is quite pricey for a lip product but I'm hoping it will last quite a while given you only need the one application per day.
I got mine on a Max Factor 3 for 2 at Boots though I'm not sure whether that's still on. Having checked the Boots website it looks like they've currently got a 3 for 2 on all makeup products at the moment so it's definitely worth taking a look and trying something new.
Are there any other long lasting lip colours that I should check out? Let me know in the comments if you have any recommendations :-)
