Max Factor Xperience Boutique Sheer Gloss Balm - On The Lips

When I first started blogging I talked quite a bit about the Coral shade of this and again recently it featured in my love list here as I keep coming back to it as an easy to wear, everyday shade that works both dressed down for lazy summer make-up and dressed up with a smoky eye.

I won't again ramble on about how much I love this again as I've already reviewed it here, so instead I thought I'd include a few 'on the lips' pictures which I haven't done before to give you an idea of what I mean.

First couple of pictures are in natural light and the second couple are in synthetic light:

I think what I like most about this lipstick is that it offers a subtle pink warmth to my very red lips, which means it looks natural and flattering.  It's also one of the original lipstick/lipbalm hybrids with it's slightly glossy, moisturising texture and comfortable buildable colour payoff.

It's £7.99 and available at Boots here.
