Max Factor Color Collection Lipsticks

sreda, marec 09, 2011

The range of colours may be large, but none of the shades appeal to me. I actually bought one years ago, but I sold it within a week. It was the shade 640 called Soft Suede and it looked so much pinker and lighter under the deceiving shop's lights.These are very pigmented, in fact they stained my hand. Seriously not even with soap the colours didn't wash of completely. Most of the shades are frosty, which I profoundly dislike, I think only the red shades don't have any shimmer. The red shades (812, 820) are actually really pretty. I think this is the first time I've seen a copper shade of lipstick (which btw looks as horrible as it sounds), I doubt shades 770 and 775 look good on anyone (they marked them here as appropriate for darker skin tones). If you like really light, nude shades, you won't find any here, especially if you're as pale as I am. All in all another completely unappealing range of shades for me, but quality-wise I remember them being quite long lasting. If you like frosty lipsticks this just might be the range for you.

Še ena linija šmink, katere odtenki se mi niti približno ne dopadejo. Enkrat sem celo eno kupila, sicer je bilo to leta nazaj, pa še prodala sem jo skoraj takoj. Odtenek je bil 640 Soft Suede, ki je seveda izgledal kompletno drugače v trgovini pod močnimi lučmi, kot v naravni svetlobi. Šminke so zelo pigmentirane, dejansko mi jih še z milom ni uspelo popolnoma odstraniti (rdeči odtenki se še vedno poznajo na roki, pa je že pol dneva mimo). Velika večina odtenkov ima frosty finiš (kar mi ni niti malo všeč), se mi zdi da samo rdeči odtenki (812, 820) nimajo nobenega (vidnejšega) šimra, slednja odtenka sta meni zelo lepa. Izbor vsebuje tudi dva bakrena odtenka (770, 775), ki sta za moje pojme brca v temo, komu taka odtenka pristajata mi še ni čisto jasno (sta pa označena kot primerna za temnejše polti). Če so vam bolj všeč kakšni svetlejši odtenki, jih tu pravzaprav ni, še posebej če ste tako svetli kot jaz (640 je na meni izgledala zelo temno roza). Za moj okus kompletno brezvezen nabor odtenkov, kar se pa kvalitete tiče se jih spomnim kot precej obstojne.
