Newsflash!! You want the new Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows!

I attended a media day recently where I was introduced to these beauties and my heart skipped a beat when I saw them. I have to get my hands on (at least) Bronze and Copper Light. I swatched them at the launch and they are beautiful.

Almost 100 years after Mr. Max Factor first started selling eye shadow in
1916 – Max Factor continues to innovate with the launch of NEW gel-based
Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows.

Available in 6 shades, these super-blendable shimmery shadows are designed for women who want to achieve on-trend metallic eye looks, but have difficulty creating them using traditional pressed powder eye shadows which fail to build up colour. New Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows makes it ultra-easy, thanks to their smart 3D silicone gel formula which holds its high-impact metallic colour pigments in place for up to 12 hours, for intense luminosity and a smooth colour finish.

These pots of gorgeousness are available at selected Clicks stores and retail for R130. Hurry… before I beat you to it ;)

Happy shopping.

Glamour icon Marilyn Monroe is Max Factor’s new Global Ambassador

It was Mr. Max Factor who transformed Norma Jeane into Marilyn Monroe with an iconic beauty look that captured the hearts of the world.  Today, Max Factor celebrates this fantastic story with the announcement of Marilyn Monroe as Global glamour ambassador.

1511223_809136725819505_1943716605816316546_n 2015 marks 80 years since Mr. Max Factor Junior opened the doors of his Hollywood make-up studio, transforming the looks of Hollywood’s elite.  His most iconic client of all?  Norma Jeane. Norma Jeane entered his Blonde Room in the late 1940s as a brunette, and thanks to Mr. Max Factor, emerged complete with platinum blonde hair – a beauty look fit for Marilyn Monroe.  Subsequently, Max Factor make-up was used to create the iconic Marilyn Monroe look.

I have always loved Marilyn and her iconic look will forever be a favourite. I never knew that Mr Max Factor was the artist behind this classic look and I think it is quite fitting that Ms Monroe be the face of Max Factor. Marilyn simply embodied glamour.

In celebration of this announcement, Max Factor launched the international #GlamJan campaign where beauty influencers, media, celebrities and consumers get the chance to show their more glamorous side by uploading their most gorgeous transformation selfies. You can even win amazing prizes.
