For months I've been lusting over my 'Whirl' lipliner. So naturally, when I discovered that it was going to be introduced into a limited edition matte lipstick range I was ecstatic.

Whirl is described as a dirty rose shade - uniting both pink and brown together. As you would have seen in my MAC lipstick collection I tend to lean towards the pink/nude shades...so this lipstick was a little out there for me. But alas, I love it!

As whirl is a matte it's got such better staying power than the usual run-of-the-mill creamy lipsticks. I'd say it lasts up to 5 hours. I wore this to a market (that was just for food, honestly..heaven really is a place on earth) and after eating copious amounts of food it only faded in the centre. I reapplied it in the centre and I was good to go!

I'd also like to add that it isn't overly drying which is noice. For a matte lipstick it's a bit creamy so it glides on without tugging at the lips. I always apply the lipliner first so I can perfect my lip shape and then add the lipstick on top.

Overall I really am happy I purchased this lipstick. Despite already owning the lipliner it was a good decision buying the lipstick. Can't wait till autumn hits again and I can wear this day-to-day.
