Good afternoon, from the comfort of my pjs and bathrobe! Middle of the week days off are awesome, lol.
So in light of yesterday's post, while I'm on the subject of traveling family members/Max Factor, here's the third polish my mama brought home for me from Holland this past spring. It's Max Factor Deep Mauve, which isn't really mauve, but rather an incredibly juicy looking opalescent raspberry red. I used three coats in the first two photos, two in the third.
I love this color. And, it's fun to try out a Max Factor beyond Fantasy Fire. Deep Mauve is a little bit vampy, just this side of frosty, raspberry jam colored blue-red-pink with very subtle red-pink shimmer to give it some nice depth. These Max Factor polishes apply like a dream, too. Because they're minis, the brush is adorably short and so very easy to control.
So, there you go! It's 1:15pm in my neck o' the woods and time for me to maybe shower/get to the grocery store/do some laundry/take a nap. Thanks for reading. <3
What a lovely color! It's nice to see the other colors Max Factor has to offer!
ReplyDeleteRight? I kind of want some more, now! I'll have to look up some more colors and make a new wishlist. ;)
DeleteThis is beautiful!! Definitely not a mauve, more like an awesome red! Raspberry jam is the perfect way to describe it =)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jacqui! It is lovely, and tastie looking, too ;)
DeleteBeautiful - this is so YOU! :) I need to pull out a red soon - I don't wear it nearly enough.
ReplyDelete:) It is, isn't it? Much more so than I expected from just the bottle.
DeleteI think so, too. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and vibrant! Love it! :-)

Vibrant, good word, Yun. It totally is.
DeleteMust.own.all.the.Max.Factor. All time favorite shade of red is a berry tone like this. Oh the things your blog does to my wishlist...
ReplyDelete;D This is a great shade! It's unique to my collection, too. There are some awesome MFs out there. I've been looking at swatches for a new wishlist for the next time anyone happens to make another trip across the pond, lol.
DeleteWill your mom (or uncle!!!) please adopt me and bring me some awesome polishes too!!???? This is some great red!!
ReplyDeleteI'll put in a request, tee hee hee ;) It is some great red!
