Max Factor Lipfinity - An excellent long lasting lip colour, the colour remains pure all day and all night no matter what you eat or drink. You must apply it properly though, the lip cream first must dry to a 'sticky to touch' which takes about a minute - then apply the gloss - it is so easy to use, with great results.

I love Lipfinity it does last all day no matter what I eat or drink. I had to get used to applying the Lip "paint" with a wand and if you don't remember to use the gloss every so often the lipstick will not last properly. This lipstick comes off easily with tissue and baby oil.

Max Factor Lipfinity - I really regret buying this. It feels terrible on, except for the first 10 mins, and it is nearly impossible not to have streaks, cracks and uneven patches of colour.

I don't like Max Factor Lipfinity much because it looks great for the first hour ....max!!! After that it all wears off just leaving a line across my upper lip which doesnt come off no matter how much I rub it!!!

I will continue to use the Lipfinity and hope that the gloss design is revamped.

Max Factor Lipfinity lipsticks really do stay on all day but it is very difficult to select the right shade if you are just testing on your hands, especially if you are a woman of colour. They are excellent though.

I've never actually worn Max Factor Lipfinity properly but I will vouch for the fact that it stays on very very well. The first time I tried it on, it was just for a joke and I tried on the awful orange colour. It wouldn't come off no matter what I tried and I ended up having to go back to college after my lunch break wearing orange lipstick. I learned my lesson that day.

Max Factor Lipfinity is the only long-lasting lipstick I have found that actually does last all day. I apply it before going to work, and it's usually still looking ok when I get home at the end of the day, after coffee, lunch, biscuits, etc. It comes in a reasonable variety of colours - I have a neutral pinky-brown for the day and a deep red shade for dressing up, and I think they're even doing metallic shades now.
The downsides are that you have to be very careful while applying it, as it's hard to get off if it dries wrong. Also, it can be a bit flaky for the first couple of hours, don;t worry, it's just the excess. And, if you wear it too much it will dry your lips out. You're provided with a clear gloss to put over the top which is meant to help with this, but if you keep reapplying the gloss - which you need to do throughout the day - then you run out and have to pay too much to buy just a stick of that. They should give you twice as much, really.
Overall, I recommend it, if you're like me and you have naturally dry lips, so you end up licking them and your lipstick won't stay on.

You can buy the gloss separately now, which helps.
