Max factor help - what to buy?

Hi all,
I noticed the boots offer for Max Factor, where if you buy £15 worth of cosmetics you get a free gift. Sounds good, but I don't normally buy Max Factor products so what is worth buying? Any recommendations?

I always buy and replace Max Factor Facefinity Compact Foundation, there aren't many things I buy and replace, tend to like trying new things but I love this product. It can be used on its own or like powder over foundation for a heavier finish. Also the 2000 calorie mascara is one I often go back to after trying others. The creme puff powder is good too, lots of light reflecting particles in it.

I thought it was a £30 spend though...

The only Max Factor product I buy is their Masterpiece mascara which I love.

I love the Lash Extension mascara, lengthens without too much thickening for a natural look.

Also, I bought their Glossfinity nail varnish in Ruby Fruit a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with how long it lasted, lovely colour too.

I'd normally say go for a mascara, but the gift comes with False Lash Effect which is really good anyway.

For Max Factor, anything is good. I particularly like their nail polish and Miracle Cream Blusher.

I thought this year Bourjois, L'Oreal and No.7's gifts were also nice. All different looks. Personally, I'd go for the L'Oreal one if I had to choose.

2000 Calorie Mascara & Lipfinity in a pale shade, I use it under pale lip glosses to give them staying power.

Oh shit, just looked at the website and the MF and L'O gifts are out of stock. I'd ring your local Boots before you go.

Thank you for the advice!Smile
Hmm decisions! I have used lip finityin the past and it did have lovely colours, but a tad on the drying side. I don't know if it's just me, but every long lasting lipstick I have tried has been quite drying?

LOok I know..there is a mascara in the gift pack, but they keep for a while unopened don't they so two would be ok I think?
I spotted some eye colours which look ok. Has anyone tried their eye shadow?
