MADONNA & MaxFactor

Here is a selection of UK, European and Japanese Max factor goodies. I have also included cover magazines from around the world that feature shots form this promotion.


JAPANESE MAX FACTOR
'LIPSTICKS' DISPLAY:
This is a great Japanese promotional display counter stand. It measures 9 inches by 11 inches and is made of thick card and is rare!
"TOTAL BEAUTY 1999 1st Edition" This is a white A4 sized 16 page catalogue of Max Factor products with Madonna shot on it's cover. Although Madonna is not featured inside, this really is a unique item from Japan.

"LIPSILKS" This is a small pocket sized catalogue of make-up and features FULL Madonna cover and also a full inside cover page as well. This also includes information on Madonna's role called "Madnna With Max Factor".


UK POSTCARDS:
Here in the UK there has been one postcard for "Luscious Moisture" issued in stores selling Max Factor goods, featured on the right. This postcard actually came with three different back designs: one with regular plain back design, (here), one with 'face sketch' design (not Madonna's face), Madonna signiture and "Lip Silks" title, (back image). The final one, and equally rare came with square blue Madonna picture, signiture and 'Lip Silks' information isting all make-up required to recreate Madonna's 'look', (here). The left card was also available, advertising "Beautiful Skin Make up", (back image). The bottom postcard was the last to appear in this promotion, advertising the "Millennium Collection" by Max Factor, (back image).
WORLD COVER MAGAZINES: Here are just a few that I have found......
     
     




MORE UK PROMOTIONAL DISPLAY ITEMS::
In the UK these promotional items below have also surfaced, initially promoting "Luscious Moisture" which are the blue background items, followed by the current "Beautiful Skin Make up" promotion.
UK MAX FACTOR PAPER BAG:
Certainly one of the rarest Madonna Max Factor promotional give-aways so far. These were designed to pop lipsticks into and are very scarce indeed.
"Yes, 'Max Factor' is actually known by the different title of 'Ellen Betrix' in Germany" and there has been some interesting Madonna goodies so far including this great little item! This is a CD-sized gold booklet issued for the 'Beautiful Skin Makeup' campaign. BIG FRONT IMAGE | BIG BACK IMAGE

A rare postcard from Holland, issued for the 'Gold' range by a company called 'Boomerang'. Comes with Dutch slogan: "Are You Ready To Party", (back image)

This is issued for the Max Factor campaign in Spain and is now rare! Issued when the campaign first began in early '99 and in very small quantities for sure. The front page of this booklet can be seen pictured on the left, with links to larger images of all other pages included below
