Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Glosses review

I have to admit, I’m not usually one to vote lip gloss. Given the choice, I love a semi-matte lip, but Max Factor’s new Colour Elixir glosses have tempted me over to the gloss side.

Despite being super high-shine, there’s no hint of stickiness to these, which is what usually puts me off gloss products. There are 9 shades to choose from, and while the formula definitely offers a hint of colour, none that I tried are super pigmented, so you should feel safe applying them without the help of a mirror!

They’re pretty long wearing as far as glosses go – I get around 2-3 hours before I need a top up; less if eating or drinking a lot. The glosses are all infused with a conditioning formula, so leave lips feeling hydrated and smooth, meaning you can wear them regularly without your lips drying out.

My favourite shade that I’ve tried has to be Delightful Pink, which is a gentle pink colour that looks great dabbed over the top of a matte lipstick for a slight sheen. Worn alone, it’s pretty sheer, so if you’re after a glossy product with lots of colour, these won’t be for you.

Colour Elixir glosses are a great buy for summer – they look great worn with more natural makeup during the day, and also work well with a smoky eye for a night out. They cost £7.99 each and can be found at Max Factor stands in Boots and Superdrug.

Are you a gloss lover? Which shade catches your eye?
