Bewitching Coral. Don’t you just love the name? 😀
This is the name of the Max factor lipstick I have which happens to be a very pretty colour. Bewitching even. 🙂
And the description is about right too. Its a coral lipstick and its bright. The colour in the tube is a little warmer than what you see in the photo above but the swatch below is pretty much what it is.
Ah here it is 🙂
Swatches of the Max Factor Bewitching Coral lipstick
See, I told you its coral. So if you are looking for a coral lipstick to welcome in Summer or if you just want to wear a coral lipstick, you could take a look at this one. The lipstick applies quite pigmented. Pretty much exactly what you see in the tube, which is good. One swipe and you’re good to go.
The downside is that its a little drying and it doesn’t have shimmer nor does it have a glossy finish. If you have dry lips, it will accentuate the lines, so apply a thin layer of lip balm first and you’ll be alright.
The upside is that the lipstick lasts quite long, as is expected of this formula, and it really brightens up the face.
Pros: Affordable, Pretty colour, Long lasting
Cons: A little drying
Oh and I’m not crazy about the packaging either. Its packaged in a regular black bullet which is quite normal looking. I suppose for RM38 I couldn’t be expecting something like Guerlain Rouge G 😛 Then again, its what’s inside that counts and this does everything it should.
Do take a look… if you have not already done so 😀

April 15, 2011 at 8:54 amLovely shade you have there, Paris! I’d be all over that lipstick if it wasn’t for the drying tidbit. I’m currently in love with Benefit’s lipsticks – they’re so moisturising! – so I’ll try to find that tone of coral there.^^ It looks amazing on you! It’s somewhere between the girlish pink and the maneater red. 😉 Fresh and classy all in one!
ParisB says
April 15, 2011 at 11:59 amThank you Mari! I wasn’t too thrilled with it being a little drying either. I do like Benefit lipsticks too! Are you into the Silky finish or Full Finish ones? I think there are similar shades in that line – there usually is 😉

April 15, 2011 at 12:45 pmThis colour is so pretty on you, Paris. I wish corals would work on me, but unfortunately they are extremely hit-or-miss 🙁 Hence sticking to cool pinks as they never ever fail me.

April 15, 2011 at 4:24 pmThank you Ksuan! Thankfully coral lipsticks are quite good to go for me, but I’m learning that coral blushes are hit or miss 😛
