L'Oreal 4D Lash Architect Mascara
by Waterfalls
Absolutely amazing! I am always using Loreal Artitect and none of the other millions of mascaras out there in supermarkets, online stores etc I find it provides me a fake eyelash look without overdoing it though. It doesn't clump, smudge, glides on smoothly, provides good coverage and conditions your eyelashes. Most amazingly, it ... provides a great lengthening function which makes it seem I have enormous fluttering eyelashes! I have received many compliments about my eyelashes due to this mascara till date and I have been wearing it for a year now practically every day. I don't use anything else on my eyelashes anymore. I used to use Maybelleine False effect but found that when I touched my eyelashes to remove it before bed, my eyelashes would fall out! At the end of the day becareful what type and brand of mascara you purchase, make sure there are many positive reviews about it and ensure it does what you want it to do in terms of lengthening, curling, volumising etc.

L'Oreal Max Factor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint Pen
by amyboosimpson
THE PRODUCT
_____________
From the MaxFactor range of lip tint pens, Im writing about Royal plum colour. Lip tint pens first hit the scence in 2011 and have been gaining popularity since. It is a matte stain of colour applied to the lips as a base and it stains the skin so it doesnt come off, not even after eating drinking or ... kissing. MaxFactor were one of the first to bring out the pens. The range only has 3 colours, royal plum (deep purple colour) Berry burst (pale peachy colour) and pink petal (bright pink colour)
These are avaliable at most cosmetic counters and pharmacys and even supermarkets and todays price in Boots is £6.99.
MY EXPERIENCE
_____________
I bought this because I wear bright red lipstick most of the time, and Im always reapplying so I thought I could buy a tint to go under and even if the red wears off there would still be some colour. I chose MaxFactor as it was one of the first to bring out the pens and iit is in my opinion a respectable brand. The pen is a thick cylinder which is black with coloured writing (of the colour of the tint) and the cap and end of the pen are also the colour of the tint. When you take the cap off the nib is the same as a felt tip pen only thicker. To apply make sure lips are dry and free from dirt or food, and just draw on. You do have to be careful as if you go wrong then its difficult to get off because it drys very quickly. The colour comes out quiet strong but if you want it darker just go over it a couple of times. The colour is very thin and you cant feel it on your lips at all. Make sure you 'click' the cap back on so as not to dry out the pen. Easy! To remove just use your normal make up remover.
MY OPINION
__________
I do adore this product, I literally put it on and can eat and drink and nothing comes off. NOTHING! The colour is good on it and I like the fact that you can control how much colour you have. At £6.99 some would say thats a bit steep but I'm still using mine that I bought in 2011 and it hasnt dried out even a bit, its the same as the day I bought it. So it is actually excellent value for money. Now it normally lasts about 6-8 hours I find then you have to reapply but I think thats brilliant coverage.
The only downside for me is the lack of variety in the colours...... only 3 thats rubbish!!! especially when competitors have got a range of 12-15 colours. Still I would buy this again, if i ever need a new one, and if they bought out new colours I would be buying those colours too.
4 out of 5 as it loses a point on the colour variety, but a strong yes to recommending it.
Thanks for reading.

L'Oreal Max Factor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint Pen
by Madeinjapan
In a childlike, marker style casing, this lip tint consists of a felt pen like tip that is designed to provide a long lasting colour to ones lips. Ever the fan of red lips, I purchased one when on promotion at my local Boots. And honestly, I think I have never been more disappointed with a cosmetic in my life. The adverts ranted and ... raved about it, giving me high expectations of this product, only to feel rather let down after usage.
The colour selection was quite nice, the shades are very matte, so if you're after a more dimensional finish this isn't the product for you.
The first issue with this pen is the tip, I'm unsure if it was just that I was unlucky, but the tip of mine was far more dry then the sides, making it incredibly difficult to use and get even colour distribution. You'd find that you were using the side of the pen to messily shade your mouth, not quite the ease I expected in using it! Throughout the next few weeks, I noticed the pen overall, had dried out, meaning it would have to be a product you'd have to replace fairly frequently.
Another issue with the pen was that you were unable to use it as a liner, due to the tip being wide and rather dry, it was difficult to utilise. Throughout the day it smudged, dried my lips, and rather than smoothly gliding over them it highlighted and exaggerated flaws, almost caking in the cracks of your lips.
So overall, will not be buying again. Incredibly disappointed. Especially for the price I paid for it. I never thought Max Factor would come up with something so utterly dire...
