Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick Review

Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick

So excited to be posting about this Max Factor Colour Elixir giant pen stick and sharing my experience with you all. I generally do nail posts as you know and I like to leave most of the beauty posts to Mia, but I had to share this with you.

This Max Factor Pen was part of my recent May haul at Priceline and boy was I excited to give this one a try.


They had a promotion on for this newly released pen stick, it's two for the price of one. I swatched all the colours before purchasing and nothing popped out but this Vibrant Pink. I'm definitely heading back to priceline to grab the other shades.


 It's more a pencil since there are no gizmo's to get more product out but the good old sharpener. But I have to say its nothing close to what you'd expect out of a pencil, it's smooth and has a beautiful glossy shine. The colour is amazing and very suitable to spring and summer. Since we just hit winter in Australia, the colour is amazing for a beautiful pop of colour to our dull winter wardrobe.



 I carried out the three kiss test and some product did show up on the first kiss, but generally the second and third one was more faint. And just as you can see the colour is still so bold post kiss. I was very surprised that it stayed on quite nicely, it lost a bit of shine but that was absolutely fine.

 One little downside that I had to do some research on was how to actually get more product  and realised it had to be sharpened, such a bummer because I think some product will be lost while sharpening and even it won't have the same sculpted tip. But will definitely have to get back to update this post on how the sharpening goes. If you've tried it before let me know, would love to know what happens after the whole sharpening process. I also had a small issue when I was eating some chicken, the colour was transferring to my chicken when I took a bite. But I cannot express how much I still love it!
