I have had this lipstick for a while but I only now got around to do a review. It's Max Factor's Colour Elixir lipstick in shade 730 Flushed Fuchsia. It was part of a PR package and it has my name engraved on the side of the tube, which I found really cool. I don't think I have ever owned a Max Factor lipstick, so I didn't really know what to expect.
It comes in a shiny gold packaging, the bottom of it is in the shade of the lipstick so you can quickly spot it when you are looking for it. The lipstick has a Max Factor's famous X on it and it gives a nice touch to the design. It costs around 10€ but I'm not sure exactly how much.
The shade 730 Flushed Fuchsia is a light pink with a very frosty shine, I hope you can see that on the swatch photo. It's too light for my skin tone and I'm not a fan of the frosty finish, so I don't wear it out. It's a shame because I really like the formula. It has that classic old lipstick scent that I don't like but I can only smell it if I put my nose really close.
The lipstick has a smooth and creamy formula with decent pigmentation. The shade doesn't fully cover the lips with one swipe but I wouldn't even use it all over the lips, I would use it as a lipstick topper.
It's such a nice gesture from the company that they put my name on it but in the end, I don't use the lipstick because the shade just doesn't suit me. I have another shade on my WL, mostly because of the formula but also because I can then switch the cap and actually use it.
