Maybelline Color Whisper Lip Balms (REVIEW)

So recently I ran into Meijer to get some printer ink and naturally I ended up roaming the beauty aisles. I ran across the display for these little babies, and decided to grab a natural pink shade. Now, I don't normally love tinted lip balms. If I want a color on my lips I generally go for an opaque lipstick. Even knowing this I have tried a few other drugstore lip balm type products, including the Lo'real Color Riche balms, and was never extremely impressed. That all stops now.

These are the Maybelline Color Whisper lip balms. After trying these and wearing them for just one day, I went back and purchased three more. Yeah, I have a problem.


This first color is "Pin Up Peach". I had to go to three stores to get this shade (I repeat, I have a problem). It's a beautiful, neutral peach shade that could go with just about any makeup look. I can already tell it's going to be my go-to daily color.




This one is "Pink Possibilites". It's a beautiful light candy pink type color. It's definitely more warm toned than cool toned and will be great in the summer.





This is my first purchase, "Rose of Attraction". It's a gorgeous pinky rose shade, much more pink than I was expecting, but it's still a beautiful shade that adds a nice amount of color without being overpowering.




The fourth and final one that I purchased is "Mad for Magenta". It's a purplish pink color that will be perfect for spring and summer. I've been obsessed with wearing plum toned lipsticks all fall and winter so this will be a great warm weather alternative. 



Here are all of them swatched!

 Overall this is a beautiful product. They give off a sheer, but pigmented color, that's true to to the color that you see in the tube. They're not nearly as pigmented as the Revlon Lip Butters, but they're also significantly more moisturizing. They're perfect for adding a bit of color to the face when I can't be bothered to take the time to apply a real lipstick.

They're also really cheap, from 5-7 dollars. I highly recommend that everyone give these a shot.


I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I know I'm spending my Saturday night watching college basketball then snuggling up with my computer and a cup of hot cocoa. I know, I lead an exciting life. :) Talk to all you gorgeous people soon!
