Review: Maybelline Color Whisper in A Plum Prospect
Hi, beauties! Here’s a quick review on a very hyped-up product: the Maybelline Color Whisper lipstick. I got the color A Plum Prospect and it’s very lovely. Balm-type lipsticks are very popular right now. Out of all the ones I’ve tried, this one has the thinnest consistency. It’s very smooth and comfortable to wear. Almost as balm-y as the Maybelline Baby Lips. A Plum Prospect isn’t opaque but it builds up nicely. It does settle a bit into my lip lines (as you can see in the lip swatch) but other than that, I think the formula is great. Also, the packaging for the Color Whispers is really adorable. I’m not sure if I would purchase other shades because I have many balm-y lipsticks and I prefer the more opaque ones (like the Revlon Lip Butters) but if I see a really unique color then I will definitely repurchase.
Do you have any favorite Color Whisper shades? Share them below! And I hope you all have a nice weekend!

23rd Feb 2013 - 2:17 pmIt looks very intimidating in the packaging, but I'm glad to see it's so wearable. I might have to pick one of these up! xxx

23rd Feb 2013 - 6:02 pmI really didn't like these, they were way too sheer for me :/
The shades I chose were the light pinks and they didn't show up at all.

23rd Feb 2013 - 11:01 pmThese do look a lot like the Revlon Lip Butters – with those I found some shades more transparent than others too. I like these kinds of products for daytime as they are just so easy to wear.

24th Feb 2013 - 11:11 amKind of meh about this. You probably know that I'm huge on pigmentation and I'm not huge on the slippery feel that this looks like it would have. But I'm probably wrong and will most likely love it when I go swatch it π
The packaging is very cute though!

24th Feb 2013 - 1:19 pmLovely colour π it looks great on you!
Not quite sure I'll be trying these as I prefer something with a bit more pigmentation in it xx
