Maybelline Color Whispers Review

Maybelline Color Whispers Review

I’ve really been on a beauty kick lately and as I mentioned in this post, I recently picked up these two lovely lip colors. I might seem like a Maybelline pusher, but I promise I don’t work for them- I just really love their products!

The Maybelline Color Whispers are lightweight, while still providing a great pigmentation. They glide on very smoothly and evenly, like applying lip balm, and layer well. With just a few swipes, I had a nice stain on my lips and with a few more swipes the color was rich and nearly opaque. They are moisturizing enough that I don’t feel the need to constantly apply chapstick on top of the color and they have a bit of shine, but not too much (I prefer a matte or slightly glossy color- anything more just looks ridiculous on me!).

I found that the color wore off after a couple of hours; however, Berry Ready faded nicely, so even when it wore off, my lips just looked slightly stained. I love lipsticks in the red color family: as you can see below, Berry Ready is a berry color with pink undertones while Who Wore it Red-er is a pinky red color (it’s not a true red). I bought these on sale at my local CVS, so I paid about $6 for each, which I feel is a pretty good price.

    The shades are lovely! Have you tried the lip butters by Revlon? If so, which of the two do you like better?

      I have one lip butter- it’s called Fig Jam, but honestly, it’s so close to my natural lip color so I don’t really wear it that often. I’ve been meaning to pick up another color from that line so I can do a true comparison. One thing I did notice is that the color whispers felt more lightweight than the lip butters. Have you tried both? IF so, I would love to hear your thoughts too!

  2. These colors are lovely. I don’t really have a favorite brand of lipstick or color or that matter. I’m typically very noncommittal when it comes to makeup/beauty products unless it is something that absolutely amazes me.

      Thank you Tracy. I didn’t use to be so into lipstick, but in the past few weeks I’ve found myself putting it on more and more!

      Yes, it’s amazing how much color it has considering how lightweight it feels!
