Maybelline Color Whispers Review

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.

I managed to purchase my Lip stick second hand so I could get an idea of what it's like before buying this product.

This lipstick comes in this see through packaging with whisper down the side. It looks quite cool. I take the lid off to find this lipstick inside it's metal casing. It's easy to wind up and wind down.

The colour I chose was Orange Attitude. I think from the name I was expecting a colour that's bright and bold with a bit of attitude. The texture of it in its tube is quite soft. It has a soft sweet scent to it. When applied to my lips it feels kind of greasy. The colour I got was an opaque orange. Lightly tinted orange.

My results were opaque orange lips. Was definitely a whisper of colour. Lacked a bit of Orange attitude though. Definitely wouldn't go out and buy a full priced one. I am lucky to have tried this one though. Colour didn't stay on my lips either. Bit of a let down. Was expecting a bright orange that packed it's punch.

I was a huge fan of the colour sensational lippies, so I thought I would give this a go. I like the packaging - the see through tube and whisper written down emphasise that they are lighter colours.

They have that same sweet smell that reminds me of play-doh a little. It doesn't bother me when its on. The formula is really smooth, I think it would be fine to wear if you had quite dry lips because it feels really moisturising. I chose Lust for Blush, it looked like more of a mauvey pink, but on it is quite washed out. It's quite shiny/wet looking. I think it's more of a gloss look on. The wear time was about an hour for me, which is probably about the same as a gloss if you aren't eating, drinking etc.

I don't think I would purchase these again, because to me it is quite expensive for what just looks like a lip gloss when on the lips. I will stick with the Sensational ones, which I love.

I purchased one of these on sale in shade #10 'Bare to be Bold'.

The formula is nice and hydrating but I find it goes on patchy. The colour is not very pigmented at all. I did gather this product would only be a sheer colour but this is barely there at all.

I think some of the other shades could be better, looking at swatches I appear to have purchased a particularly sheer one.

If you are looking for a sheer lightly pigmented light weight gloss then this might suit you but it wasn't for me. I actually wound up adding it to my daughters 'play' makeup kit :)

Very sheer coverage. Doesn't add much colour, but gives a nice shine. Doesn't really feel very smooth on my lips.

These are so patchy on my lips! I know they aren't supposed to be a matte finish or anything but they just highlighted the lines in my lips so much. I also found the gloss finish quite sticky and they didn't last more than 2 hours even without eating.

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.

Im not a huge fan of these, i felt like it definitely lived up to the whisper and gave you a small amount of colour to your lips. these feel like a lip balm and has a similar consistency to one, i do however like that it feels weightless and doesn't feel heavy on your lips at all. These are perfect if you want a tinted lip balm though.

I love super pigmented, bright lipstick. This is not one of those! It's title really is true, you only get a whisper of colour! If that was what I wanted I would've purchased a lipgloss instead. I do not recommend buying this product as it has hardly any colour payoff and feels sticky when applied.
