On Saturday 31st October, I was invited to my
local Boots store to write a blog about the brand new Maxfactor counter and some of
their upcoming products.
When I arrived, the counter was set up with black balloons,
roses, chocolate and bucks fizz – it looked very pretty! Across the front of
the counter, there was a red ribbon tied in a bow, this was later going to be
cut to re-open the counter. The counter followed the MaxFactor colours of black
and gold, but was interlinked with the bright colours from the makeup itself.
MaxFactor are bringing in lots of new products, one of which
is the Velvet Volume False Lash Effect Mascara. I really love the packaging for this, as
it is very simple but eye-catching and appealing. It continues with the
MaxFactor colours making it link with the rest of the company. The applicator
is quite small, with short strands, I find this applies the product really
well. It leaves you with a nice set of lashes without clumping them together.
It definitely achieves the false lash effect!
MaxFactor are more of a high end company meaning their
products are little bit more expensive in comparison to other drugstore makeup
brands. However, I do believe that you are getting a high quality product for
this price. If you are willing to pay a little bit extra for a product, you
will get a lot more in return.
Another product MaxFactor are launching, are Marilyn Monroe
lipsticks. There are going to be 4 different lipsticks in this collection, one
of which is a copy of an exact lipstick found in Marilyn Monroe’s makeup bag. I
think this is a really nice concept and I feel that they are going to be very
popular. Red lipstick goes well with a nude eyeshadow and winged eyeliner, it
is also perfect for the winter season. Make sure you get your hands on one of
these lipsticks – coming soon!
I would definitely recommend checking out a MaxFactor counter near you as they have a wide range of amazing products, with lots of new products coming in soon! If you would like to see some of there other products, head over to my youtube channel where I talk about some of my favourites.
I would like to say a massive thank you to Boots for having me, and to Jade, the MaxFactor Counter Manager, for inviting me. I think the counter is incredible and you have done a great job! :)
