The Essential Natural

Every now and then you stumble across a beauty product so good that you can't believe you ever lived without it as an essential item to your make-up back. 
Since discovering the Lipfinity 'Essential Natural' no.340 by Max Factor, I have stumbled across my new essential. I'll admit that I've never been a great purchaser of Max Factor previous to discovering this range of lipgloss, and have been guilty of being abit of a 'make-up snob' however the colour and finish of this lipstick really complements my complexion and has since led to so many positive comments about the colour with some asking if I was wearing any lipstick at all, as the finish is so beautifully natural.
Max Factor Lipfinity - No.340 Essential Natural.
What makes this gloss great is the combination of Lipfinity's two step products:
step 1: The paint for lips 
step 2: The clear moisturizing topcoat. 
The product promises to provide a 'lasting impact... A gorgeous long lasting lip colour that lasts up to 12 hours. Vibrant and moisturised lips thanks to the conditioning top coat'. The product also asks 'What more could a girl want?' and claims that Lipfinity is 'Kiss proof. Food proof. Party proof. Life proof.' 
And unlike every advertisement for the latest 'must-have' product it really does achieve it's pledge not leaving behind a lipstick stain on my numerous Starbucks cups throughout the day or smudging all over my face over lunch! 
'The Essential Natural - The Essential Finish'
Max Factors tips for application of the Lipfinity lip paint are:

step 1: Apply colour to clean lips and keep lips apart for 60 seconds or until dry.
step 2: Apply the clear moisturising topcoat for moisture and shine.

To keep your look fresh Max Factor recommends re-applying the topcoat throughout the day as if it were a lip balm and advises that the product should be removed using an oil-based make-up remover.
The best thing about this product I feel is the competitive price point giving it a strong position within the beauty market! Other lipsticks such as Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Courtue is also a great product and lasts all day but at £25.00 each it's more difficult to justify than the £8.99 for Max Factors Lipfinty - a product I feel is as equally as effective and long lasting but much better for your bank balance if you're on a budget or just want to become more of a savvy shopper!
Well Done Max Factor!
