Max Factor Vibrant Curve Effect Lip Gloss - #03 Trend-Setter

Finally! A different product review as I wished. This time I'm reviewing my recently acquired lip gloss. The..



Description (on MaxFactor Website)
This season’s lips are going glossy, glossy, glossy! Arm yourself with our slick new Vibrant Curve Effect Lip Gloss to put yours in the spotlight. Hot from backstage and tested by our top fashion make-up artists it’s curvy applicator hugs your lips for a fuller, more curvaceous look. With its high shine, non-sticky formula and 10 new irresistible on trend shades to try there’s no excuse to fade into the background.

Packaging
A sleek, thin, minimalistic, and elegant bottle. Black top and clear glass bottom. The applicator is one of those with stick and small, fur-like tip instead of brush (as can be seen in the picture).

Color Selection
10 shades from clear with gliters to dark. The one I chose to buy and review is #03 Trend-Setter. It's a clear peach pink liquid with gold glitters. SUPER lovely.

How to Apply
Apply by itself on bare lips for glossy finish or on top of lipstick for a more colored outcome. For daily wear, I like to apply lip gloss from the center of lips and let it naturally spread out, gives a more natural look.

Ingredients
Sorry, cannot find the details. But the beautician said it consists mostly of fruit extract that is very natural.

Coverage
Very good.

Texture
Liquid with some stickiness a bit less sticky than normal lipgloss - a feature on its favor.

Spreadability
Easy and not too sticky.

Finish
Glossy. Very very glossy at that. I love it by itself or on my lip tint. Staying power is okay, as I don't expect much from lip gloss.

My General Rating
First of all, it smells awesome. I love the somewhat sweet fruity smell, like watermelon - and tastes like it too. It's not too overwhelming, but it makes me want to lick my own lips upon application (no worries, I didn't really do it). A neutral coloured lip gloss with flecks of gold glitter in it so it's perfect for both day wear or night wear. I simply love the color and the glitters. What more to love, is the moisturizing power. I seldom (or can say almost never) find a lip gloss that really moisturizes well. This one is a shocker to me. I have a very dry lips that reacts badly to lip make-up, but this one did what others couldn't. It fixed my lips. I haven't had dry lips for three days (since I start using it). Incredible. I love how it does what it does. I love color and texture and result aaannndd the healthy effect it gives on my lips. Plumper? check. In terms of color, as I choose a clear one, it is well, clear. But the rest are somewhat the same, it is only meant to give some color but not a vivid one. Which I usually find in lip glosses, and I don't mind. I do find it a bit difficult to find any other color that I like in the range but maybe I'll give another visit after such great performance, I wish some God-sent would send me more - that would be awesome.

Overall Rating
4.5 out of 5. It is good great in moisturizing but cannot find other shade I like-yet. I may change the rating later. And maybe more color selections if it's not too much to ask. Overall, very good lip gloss.

Price
