Max Factor Ruby Tuesday!

Max Factor Lipstick in 715 Ruby Tuesday (Max Factor Ruby Tuesday Colour Elixir Lipstick)
I won one of these lipsticks in a Special K giveaway competition, which is still going on I believe, and decided to test it out and give you guys a small review, I apologise in advance for the quality of the images, however I'm still trying to get my SLR camera fixed. 

What they say: Colour Elixir Lipstick with Max factor’s breakthrough Elixir Moisturising Complex that give visibly moisturised lips and gorgeous looking colour.

Obviously, I won this lipstick, so I didn't have to purchase it with my own money, however, I will look more into this range of lipsticks (I think I will purchase 'Firefly'), as I believe the quality of this is pretty good for a lower end brand! Firstly, the packaging is lovely and sleek, it looks like it's more expensive than it actually is! The colour itself in the tube looks like a primary red, however when applied it's more leaning towards a deep pink toned red, it really is a classic colour though. The bullet itself has Max Factor's signature 'X' across it, and it smells delicious, (think vanilla cupcakes). The formula I would say is matte, maybe hinting at a slight sheen, but I don't think that it lives up to the 'moisturising' claim, it slightly dried out my lips, so you definitely need to apply a lip balm underneath to actually create a moisturising lipstick! The actual wear of the lipstick is good, and it lasted me around 7 hours, (including eating and drinking), and then it only seemed faded and less intense. I think that it has really good pigmentation, and I will be sure to purchase more of these, as I do love the consistency and think they give a really good colour to your lips, and plus, the colour range is pretty good, I think the range has over 15 colours!
