Maxfactor I Love You....But Your Packaging Can Be Dangerous

Masterpiece Gold

I don't normally like to make a negative post.. but, seriously I have to complain about the over zealous security packaging on Maxfactor products.

I am a huge fan of their mascara, not because it is cheaper than others, even though I have to say it is remarkably reasonable in price.  No the reason I buy it is, simply it is the best for me.

Faslelash Effect

Previously having worked in cosmetics, I have tried most brands, from Chanel to Maybelline and I have decided Max Factor is the one..

I love the Falselash effect version, for a more natural daytime look and the Masterpiece Gold for a more dramatic look.  It never clumps or flakes and so many people always ask me what brand I use.

Lip Tint

Recently I have also become a fan of their lip stain pen, I am not a great lipstick fan, I tend to just use lip balm or gloss.  Sometimes though this can leave me looking a little washed out.  Yet I find with my colouring lipstick, can be too much, especially as I tend to make up my eyes in a smokey fashion.  This however, just gives a little natural colour enhancing, to what you already have.  My only issue with this product is, they need replacing often, maybe they need to be more airtight.


So back to the security packaging...

This morning before opening

The plastic seal on the Falselash Effect mascara is so tight and strong, that it is quite impossible to open with bare hands, you need a knife or sharp scissors and if you slip...
Well you are fucked!
The Lip stain does have perforations, but you need something to help or your tear your nails, so you are back to the sharp implement.


The results...
