Glad I didn't pay

I won this product free from Maybelline whichI am grateful for. To start with the packaging is greatly, so bright and fun looking. I usually use chubby sticks as a lip balm/lipstick and love those so this was up against high standards. Although I got to choose my colour I wasn't impressed when I put it on. I had chosen a plum sort of colour and instead when putting it on came out more pink. Yes it is moisturising and feels quite good going on. It doesn't last, even after having a couple sips of a drink its gone.. the fragrance is really nice though so putting it on all the time isn't too much of a hassle. Im glad I got to try it but definitely isn't my go to..

Great as a Quick and Easy lippy

I bought two of these Colour Whispers for about $15 at the Warehouse a couple of months ago when they were on special and they are just fabulous! The shades I bought are "Who wore it red-er" and "Oh La Lilac". The gel substance they are made out of is definitely weightless and it glides on your lips really easy. It also means that if you make a mistake or go over the edges of your lips it is really easy to get off and doesn't stain your skin or ruin the rest of your make up. I don't use a lip liner for these as you don't need one as the don't bleed!! These are definitely easy everyday lipsticks to use. The packaging is rater nice to look at and the square/rectangular shape makes them really easy to store flat or stand up. It is quite a soft colour to start out with but you can build it up a bit by applying more coats which is great because you can use the same colour in different shades. However it doesn't last as long as a regular lipstick which means you are applying it always after you each and after drinking. I do think I would pay full price for them but would definitely buy again if they were on special.

Mocha Muse

Very pretty nude shade, equal amounts of nude pink/peach and beige. Not particularly flavoured which I appreciate, smooth to apply, but formula and texture is very much a tinted lip-balm, nice over a nude liner but doesn't last very long, infact it seems to feel as if it is sliding off my lips a little as the gel-ness of it warms up. Nice packaging and shades - overall a lovely tinted balm, but don't go expecting great pigmentation or hydration.

Lust for Blush

I only have this in one shade, Lust for Blush, and I'm not planning on purchasing more shades. That being said, I don't actively dislike this product, I just think it's not particularly amazing.

The actual shade is beautiful - a perfect neutral pinky-nude that doesn't wash me out/look too Barbie-pink like many shades do. It's got decent pigmentation; it goes on fairly sheer with one swipe, but can definitely be built up to a higher opacity.

The formula is very smooth and lightweight feeling, and does glide on nicely. Although it's not drying in and of itself, I personally don't find it to be actually moisturising either, so I still wear a lipbalm underneath.

It doesn't have an offensive or really strong smell - it's slightly sweet and lollyish if I think about it, but it really isn't something that I notice if I'm applying it. It doesn't have a taste either, which is something I really appreciate.

The thing that lets this product down, in my opinion, is the lasting power. Obviously it doesn't claim to be super long-lasting, and I'm fine with that, but in reality it only lasts about an hour, if that, before it's faded mostly away. (It doesn't hold up to eating/drinking at all, but I don't really expect most lip products to do that, so it doesn't bother me.) That's why, even though I like this particular shade, and the formula is comfortable to wear, I won't be purchasing other shades, and I probably won't repurchase this shade once I've run out.

Overall: I don't hate this any way, but the lack of lasting power means I don't really recommend this to most people.

Tips: Like with any lip product, exfoliate and moisturise your lips before applying to get the best looking result. xx

Basically a Tinted Lip Balm

I only purchased one of these wee guys (in the shade Petal Rebel) - And the reason I stopped at one was because I was so disappointed. Even though I realise they are not mean to be highly pigmented the colour pay off was about a zero, and even as a balm to be honest I didn't find it all that moisturising. The shade Petal Rebel was such a pretty colour in the tube but it definitely did not translate.

The packaging I adore - it is really really pretty - But I don't want to pay $20 for just a pretty package. All in all I was pretty disappointed with the colour whispers, and I will not be repurchasing.

Not amazing

These are an average products overall! They go on more like a coloured lip gloss - so its difficult to get nice precise lines as you can with a lipstick. The colour payoff is relatively average - it goes on a nice colour but doesn't last very long at all. I find it completely wears off with about an hour. However, the texture is really nice and creamy - its good if you have dry lips. Probably wouldn't buy again as I prefer a really good colour payoff that lasts a long time.

Great for wearing at work

I have two shades in the Maybelline Color Whispers, Petal Rebel and Oh La Lilac. While these are not super pigmented they give just enough colour to show that I'm wearing something. I also like that they feel almost like a lip balm and don't dry out my lips. My favourite shade is the Oh La Lilac which is the perfect shade of lilac for us pale girls and I wear this a lot at work when I want a more subtle shade on my lips. I have found that Petal Rebel gives a lot less colour but looks amazing layered over top of my Nars Bolero lip pencil. The staying power of this is pretty limited, especially as soon as you take a drink of water. But they are easy enough to apply and since they don't have as much colour you don't have to be as precise with your lines. I keep mine on my desk and give myself a few top ups throughout the day (often without a mirror). While they may not be for everyone I love my Oh La Lilac and would definitely buy the shade again.

Pretty lippie but not long lasting

I bought one of these recently from farmers, a pale pink shade. It is definitely not a long lasting lipstick, it comes off very easily so if you ate or drunk anything it would come off straight away.

As some other reviewers have said, it is quite a creamy consistency and would be good if you have dry lips.

Colours are pretty but long staying lipsticks are so popular at the moment so I don't think this range will last very long.

Not a fan

I grabbed this in the shade Lust For Blush when Countdown were having their cosmetic sale a few months a go - scored it for $5, bargain! I'm so happy I didn't pay full price for it or even any more than $5, it's so not worth it in my opinion. It's not very pigmented, I think my Maybelline Baby Lips balm had more colour, it isn't overly hydrating, I don't find it that comfortable to wear either as it sits funny on the lips - settles into lines, clings to dry spots and wears off within half an hour. I would suggest people reach for a tinted balm over this.

Sadly disappointed

I bought a bright pink on sale at Countdown, like I seen somebody else mention - I am glad I didn't pay full price. I think I got it for $10, used it once and have put it in the makeup cabinet to look pretty as that's about all it seemed good for. Not very pigmented, barely any color and didn't go on very nicely. I get more color/coverage from some lip balms. Sadly disappointed and wouldn't buy anymore.
