I *LOVE* this color pink! Definitely one of my all-time favorites: it's pretty, light, but has a gentle "pop" that is unmistakable as lipstick (vs a gloss or tinted balm). My one complaint is that it comes off pretty easily--not long-lasting/doesn't wear well over time. It's brilliant when you first put it on, but because it *is* hydrating (not at all dry, which sometimes pastels can be), it comes off easily when sipping from a cup or straw, or eating. It isn't as high-shine as a gloss--so it isn't overly sticky or gooey (yay!), and I like that it is smooth and hydrating, but I wish it had a longer wear time because I go through one lipstick pretty quickly. I don't believe Maybelline makes these any more, and I *do* think that the "whispers" branding was touting something akin to a gloss or subtle balm, which also don't wear well over time. This lipstick pretty much lives up to expectation, over all.
