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 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.
I have 4 different shades, "oh la lilac", "lust for blush" "who wore it reder", and "mad for magenta". It says there is supposed to be pure pigment but unfortunatly the color pigment in all 4 that I have is next to none, the who wore it reder has to be the most pigmented one but is still barely next to anything. I like how they go on, theyre smooth and creamy just like a lip balm and when I just want a hit of color but more moisture I will grab these. It was really disappointing in these as they advertise some really nice colours throughout the range but then once buying them the colour pay off is not worth the price, I was lucky as I picked all mine up really cheap or given to me but I would not pay full price for them.
So overall if you are looking for a lipbalm type of lippy with very little color pay off then these are for you as they do go on nicely and smooth but the color in them is very minimal, sometimes personally I do like that so I will continue to use them but would very pay the price that they are.
I definitely wouldn't consider these lipsticks pigmented. They are very sheer and creamy and do not stay on the lips for a long time at all.
My favourite colour is 'lust for blush' it is a really nice 'my lips but better' colour and is one of those lippies that is great to throw on when you are wanting a minimal makeup look with just a hint of glossy colour.
These do feel really nice and moisturising on, but you do have to reapply quite regularly as the colour doesn't stay or leave any sort of stain on the lips.
I really like these. I'm reading a lot of "they're not very pigmented", etc, but they are called Colour "whispers". They're kinda like a soft tinted, shimmery balm. I bought one out of curiosity in an orangey red shade called coral tease, I was so impressed I went back for more colours the next day. They feel soft and smooth, no dryness or cracking, just a lovely balmy texture and a subtle wash of colour. You can build it up a little or just one sweep and rub your lips together for a natural looking tint. I really like them. My lips don't feel dry and the colour actually has decent longevity. It's not going to last if you're eating and drinking, but it's pretty good. It doesn't claim to be a long lasting colour, sp you can't fault it there. I'll be buying more
Tips: For a richer colour with more gloss, rub it back and forth a couple of times over each lip. For a subtler look, apply one to one lip and rub together. One coat also lasts longer because it's less wet.
I have a couple of these as the colour range is impressive! As a newbie to lipstick in general, I liked the soft tones that the range offered. These don't really make much of a difference as they aren't highly pigmented which was nice for me to use while getting used to wearing lipstick initially. Creamy and wears decently but the colour does fade away very quickly depending on which colour you have. The packaging is really cute and easy to cart around in your favourite handbag. Price also means I don't feel guilty when splurging
I love this ! I use it everyday for a light colour (daily makeup) They feel silky to apply and dont dry my lips.!
I have this lipstick in two shades, oh la lilac and also a nude. These are super easy to wear, the colour is sheer but still noticeable. I love the lilac one it is a pretty purple, nothing super bright but still stands out without being super dramatic. I think these are perfect for day wear.
They also feel really moisterising, they remind me a lot of the revlon lip butter ones. Or even of a highly tinted balm. The tube is nice, the colour of the tube is similar to the colour of the lipstick. The colour doesn't last too long, but it's easy to reapply and it doesn't bleed everywhere outside of my lips.
Tips: I got mine when Countdown had a mothers day special for $10. I know Maybelline go on sale all the time so keep an eye out for better prices.
It wasn't as pigmented as I expected and initially I was a little disappointed but it's now my favourite "everyday" lippy, I don't often wear lipstick so it's nice to add a soft hint of colour without it being over the top. Love the silky feeling it gives my lips as well.
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.
