End of last year (2016), I visited my local MAC. While looking around, I kept staring at this makeup artist. The lipstick looked so good on her. It didn't hurt she's pretty.

This is MAC Matte Lipstick in Whirl. Since I did a thorough review of MAC Matte Lipstick in Derriere, I will base this on that.

Ingredients:

Here's a closer look at the packaging.

Here's a closer look at the color. The website describes it as "dirty rose." I have to agree.

Here's a swatch of the lip color on my hand.

Here's how the lipstick looks on me.

Here's an overall look. I have Make Up For Ever Lustrous Shadow Palette on the eyes.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's a slight scent while using. I just sniffed the product and it smells like vanilla to me. It's a typical MAC lipstick scent. Secondly, I like the packaging. It stands out with the bullet-style top. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of firm plastic packaging. The top is also sturdy. It makes a clicking noise when I open/close the top. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. It's also small enough to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. Third, the consistency is creamy. It glides on and does not tug on the lips. With that said, it's easy to apply. There are times I have difficulties applying lipstick on my lips. I didn't with this product. It was easy to outline and color the remaining. Fourth, the color is gorgeous! I have to agree the description is on point. It does look like dirty rose on me. It's a great everyday color, as well as, all year round. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. I wouldn't say it's the most pigmented but it is close. Lastly, it lasted until I ate. I have a tendency to wipe my mouth after I eat. For that reason, it doesn't last that long on me. It's extremely comfortable and not drying at all. I did not see any white residue in the center of the lips. Out of all the MAC lipsticks I own, I have to say this is my favorite color so far.

Would repurchase: Yes!
