My favorite lipstick of all time: Max Factor Lipfinity (020 angelic)

I didn’t use to wear lipsticks because I tend to smudge them and in just a few minutes my lips would look horrible. I also have very dry lips, so I must use lip balm all time. It seemed that I had no chance in wearing lipstick and sometimes I really wanted to have colored lips.

Then the miracle happened. About 5 years ago I’ve discovered the Max Factor Lipfinity lipstick in the shade 020 angelic. In fact, it was a friend who gave me this lipstick as a Christmas gift. She was a big fan of this lipstick and she had been using it for years. I remember very well the day she offered it to me. I tried it straight away and then she asked me to drink a glass of water. I drank and she asked me to look on the glass for any lipstick marks. There were none. I looked in the mirror and the lipstick was the same. It didn’t move a bit, nor fade.

I said “WOW”. And wow it was, for another 5 hours.

It is truly a remarkable lipstick. I’ve been using it ever since. The lipstick comes in a little box, with 2 recipients: the lipstain, which you use only once, and the gloss/lip balm, which you’re supposed to use from time to time (my friend never uses it because she has very good lips, but I have to use it once every 2 hours because otherwise my lips dry out).

This lipstick is rather cheap (about 12 EUR) in comparison to other similar stay on lipstick. I generally buy it from DM.

Pros

First of all, this lipstick won’t come off. It is a lipstick that lasts all day (almost 🙂 ).

The color remains intense for about 4 hours, then it stars slowly to fade, but it is good another 2 hours or so. Even after a total of 8 hours, you will still have some lipstick left.

I’ve purchased some other colors but 020 angelic is my favorite color for sure. I love how it matches my style.

Sorry for the tiny photo, but it is the only one that renders the color as it truly is on my lips.

Cons

Some women have been complaining it dries their lips. I, who have the most dry lips in the world, disagree completely. You just have to use the balm, that’s what it’s for!

Will I Repurchase?

Definitely. I’ve been repurchasing it for 5 years now. Every time I wear it, I feel confident and happy!

Tips and tricks

There are 2 things you need to do to get the best out of this lipstick:

1. Be sure your lips are clean and exfoliated before applying the color. If your lips are oily (either because you’ve applied a lip blam that left your lips oily or you’ve eaten something oily) the lip stain will not stick to your lips. So you need to have them really clean before applying the lipstick.
2. If you are going to eat, it lasts better if you apply the balm before eating.
3. You will need a makeup remover for long lasting makeup to get this lipstick off or to make some adjustments.

Well, that’s it. I hope this review will help you choose your lipstick. If you are a girl like me who has a hard time wearing a lipstick and you’re looking for a lipstick that stays on, then the Max Factor Lipfinity lipstick is the right one for you.

Let me know if you’ve used it or if you’ve used similar lips stains and what do you think about them.
