MAX FACTOR

~ MAX FACTOR ~

Velvet Volume False Lash Effect Mascara

REVIEW!

I own a few other Max Factor makeup items in my collection and I have always wondered why I
don't hear as much of this brand as some others. I feel like Max Factor deserves a bit more
recognition as their products are amazing!

I have really enjoyed incorporating this mascara into my everyday makeup routine along with others from the brand. Together they work well and I love the end result.

The sleek and posh black & gold tube is very classy and grown up looking as opposed to some other brightly coloured ones on the market. This makes me feel good to use for a change. I like the feeling!

The wand is easy to use and hold in my hand. I can apply steadily and coat every single lash, even those almost invisible ones on the inner corner on both the top & bottom.

My lashes are nothing to brag about so I loved having them given a nice amount of extra length and volume to make me appear more awake, alive and with the illusion of slightly bigger eyes. YAS!! :D (I have always envied Ashley Olsen's doll like beautiful big eyes!) My eyes don't look quite THAT amazing, but using this mascara has definitely helped!

No overpowering scent or anything which I like when it comes to mascaras because then I definitely know when they need to hit the bin as soon as I begin to feel that waft of product creep up my nose!

Overall, this mascara has been great and I have been using it everyday. For night to add a little more drama, I found applying a few extra coats made a bigger difference in making them appear to have that slight 'False Lash Effect'.

I would recommend for both day & night for those who want a more grown up, classy looking mascara that is versatile in giving you a range of looks from office professional to let your hair down party animal depending on how many coats you apply. :)

MAX FACTOR

~ MAX FACTOR ~

Wild Eyeshadow Pencil

In Fierce Lime!

Also available in...
Caramel Rage, Untamed Pink, Savage Silver,
Ferocious White, Bold Sapphire, Brazen Gold & Blue Ice Fury.

Max factor is a brand that has been around for as long as I can remember
and I feel like it doesn't get enough recognition that it deserves.
I have been wearing Max Factor makeup for more than 10 years
and I am always amazed and impressed at how innovative and clever
they are when it comes to new and exciting products they
release to the beauty loving public.

I have had a great experience with my Wild Shadow Pencil and cannot flaw it!
It applies smoothly and with vibrant pigmentation without smudging or
having to pull at my eye to get it to blend and get an even distribution.

This is such a versatile product because it can be used as an eye shadow,
gel liner and I even find it great to wear as a primer for eye shadow to
give your desired shade an even brifghter and more definite colour.
It also helps to keep your shadow in place all day & night weather
wearing it on it's own or with a powder shadow on top.

Definitely an investment worth making to help build your make
up collection with quality, worthwhile products.
Up there with the best!

March 2014 Favourites!

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub

This stuff smells amazingly, beautifully refreshing first thing in the morning!

I can't get enough of the citrus scent. It's so, so nice. The formula is a grainy, golden, shimmery yellow which gently exfoliates your skin with caffeine, lemon and papaya.

Has been keeping my skin completely clear and feeling soft, smooth and clean.

MOR Sugar Rose Tiger Lily Salt & Sugar Body Scrub

There is nothing I love more than a good all over body scrub either in the shower or bath. It makes me feel super clean and refreshed. I feel like my skin easily builds up dead skin cells, so I like to exfoliate almost every night. I have only just started to use this, but already it is a firm favourite. I LOVE MOR products, they are always so beautiful, almost too good to use. The magenta colour of this tub is adorable and the gold label makes it appear royal. :) I'm sure I don't need to tell you how amazing the scent is. It is like a huge bunch if perfume scented flowers. Loveeeee! ♡

Rimmel London Apocolips Lip Lacquer in Stellar

As you can see, this is the moist amazing, bright, moist shade. I love wearing this everyday or night if on the rare occasion I get to go out. It just brightens up my whole face, makes me look more human, less tired and alive!

Napoleon Perdis DeVine Goddess Lipstick in Serene

First off, I love the packaging of this. It's so different and I love how it is clear and acrylic. The shade is something totally wild, daring and on trend as purple lips are very hot right now. I feel like this shade really suits my dark eyes and dark hair too.

Bondi Sands Summer Bronze Instant Tan

Light/Medium

I was lucky enough to win a whole collection of Bondi Sands goodies not long ago and have been having a lot of fun playing with and trying them out this past month.

I'm loving this product in particular because it is a wash off formula. Meaning at the end of the day I can just wash off the tan in the shower and start fresh the following day. It dries quickly and isn't messy. It doesn't streak and applied evenly and looks so natural. I'm really impressed!

MAC Mineralize Concealer in NW20

I am a big lover of MAC. I think their products are top notch, but sadly as they're so over priced here in Australia, I only own a precious few of their products.

This is one of those products. I was actually very fortunate to receive this in my Blogstar prize pack. It is a product I had wanted for ages and it is the perfect shade for my skin thankfully. It does a flawless job at concealing any dark circles and aids in contouring to a T. I would love to eventually splurge on the matching foundation and powder. I've heard mixed reviews about them, but would love to try them out for myself.

Max Factor Eyeshadow in Auburn Envy

This was included in one of my recent posts about what I keep in my makeup bag.

I use this pretty much daily as the shade is so perfect for everyday wear and can also be build up for a more dramatic night look. It doesn't crease and is such a stunning colour.

OPI Nail Polish in Mod About You

This is my 'Go To' nail polish. The colour is so classic and classy.

I adore it. It girlie, yet subtle and works well when doing a at home french mani or pedi and dries quickly too.

Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Daily Rinse Off Treatment

I trialed and reviewed this as part of Beautyheaven's trial team this past month and I have to say, it has made a noticeable difference to my hairs appearance and texture.

What's In My Everyday Makeup Bag!

I know my fellow beauty lovers out there won't judge me for hoarding around so many essential everyday beauty products, so all you others out there, don't judge me, I need the, all, everyday, no seriously! ;)

So if you're keen to delve in, grab a coffee or tea or beverage and snack of your choice, ignore any distractions and get comfy, this is going to be a lengthy post!

Somehow I manage to fit all of my day to day makeup in this tiny little Sally Hansen bag I was actually lucky enough to win off their Facebook page last year with some of their nail polish. A skill many clever, beautiful women know how to master. Right ladies? ;)
