Maybellline Color Whisper Coral Tease (Limited Edition) - Swatch and Review




The long weekend gave me plenty of time to relax and catch up on my blog. My sister even nagged me for blogging and tells me I should spend time with my kids on my day off. I was like watchu tryna say girl and why you be all up in my business? I don't go around and tell her what she should be doing with her kids. Hmm...wait, I did tell her she should take them out to play at the park sometimes because she always keep them at home. She replied that she doesn't want to cause they might catch germs and get sick. Ok, I guess we're even, LOL...Aya family! I swear my younger siblings talk to me like they are my parents. Well, enough of that family business...They can be annoying but you still gotta love them.

I had to stop by Walgreens the other day to pick up some mayo and as usual I'm always checking out the beauty isle for new beauty products. I saw some new limited edition Color Whisper. Didn't think I needed them but when I saw Coral Tease, I felt like I should give it a try.

Packaging
  • Sleek and slim lipstick tube with a semi-transparent cover. 
  • Net weight is .11 oz or 3 g

Product
  • Coral Tease isn't really something I would describe as a coral but I can see how the warm red color would contribute to it. I would describe the shade as a coppery warm red with fine bronze and copper shimmers/glitters. 
  • I don't really feel the glitters when I'm wearing the lipstick but I do feel its grittiness during application.
  • The shade is semi-transparent yet still yield a fairly good color payoff. 
  • The formula doesn't feel as slick as the other shades I've tried, probably because of the glitters. The application is not quite even but that's not very noticeable unless you stare really closely at it.
  • I found it to be somewhat hydrating and comfortable but certainly not drying.
  • I get about 3 hours of wear with this shade before it starts fading.  
  • It has a subtle sweet artificial scent. I didn't find it offensive but that's subjective.

Final Thought

Lasting power is average. Formula and pigmentation is fairly good. I don't really like the grittiness of the glitters when I'm applying it, otherwise I don't really feel them when I'm wearing it. I definitely prefer these Color Whispers sans shimmers. However, if you like the shade, I think it's worth a try. It would be a nice one for summer and fall.

Rating: 8/10

Price:$7.49

  1. The color looks good on you, but I prefer lighter or brighter color for summer (:

    1. I don't have a particular preference as to what to wear as the seasons change but I unintentionally tend to wear warmer colors in the summer and cooler colors in the winter.

  2. very pretty shade on you. I haven't tried the Maybelline whisper line lippies. They look pretty moisturizing as well. May have to check them out.

    1. Overall I do like them but they are on the sheer side so if you like to have some color, you should pick a darker color because what you see in the tube is 3 times lighter on the skin.

  3. That is a very pretty color on you! Wherever did they get coral for the name?

    1. IDK. You should see the display picture. The model was supposedly wearing this shade and it looks nothing like it in person.

  4. That's such a pretty fall color! But I agree, it's not really a coral--it looks more like a brick red shade to me.

    Is that the blue Prestige eyeliner you reviewed the other day? Looks very pretty with the brick lippie, and not quite as retro I think!

    1. Yes, I'm wearing the Prestige eyeliner on here. I layered it with a darker navy blue. Works better that way.

  5. What an interesting coral shade, it has a golden sheen that I haven't seen in many of my lip products. Muted but yet bright, I hope these come to singapore!

  6. This looks great on you...then again, most lip glosses, stains and lipsticks look nice on you. Love your eye look too.
