Usually I would frown upon lipstick and lip balm hybrids. They’re either way too sheer for my liking or not moisturising enough. Max Factor’s Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick is not that kind of makeup product.

It not only gives off a rich pigment, but is super hydrating once it has been applied. To top it all off, it’s also very long-lasting. Even after eating and drinking, the lip colour was still as pink as before.

What I love most about this pink lip colour is that it isn’t too pink. It doesn’t look tacky or too off-showy, making it suitable for everyday use. It’s not too light and not too dark, making it suitable for every skin tone.

I love that this lip colour comes in a stick form. It works as a lip liner and lip colour at the same time. This is convenient since you’re getting 2 products in one, plus it prevents the lipstick from bleeding.

I would recommend this lip colour to all women. It is the ideal shade of pink and works well as a lipstick and a lip balm.
