Honestly, when I was writing my comment about it on here I wanted to describe it as a mocha color! When I was taking swatch pics yesterday, I HAD to pull out "Pander Me" and compare because that's what "Whirl" reminded me of - which is what made me think of "Persistence," since my first thoughts on that one were that it was a darker version of PM. I really wanted some mauve in the color, but I really don't see any of it on me, lol. I'm flexible about the colors I wear, yet I still feel disappointed. I know.
And the worst part is there is the slightest orange in it on me lolol. Pink > Orange for me all day, everyday. That seems to be the case. It makes me wonder how the liner and lipstick would pair, lolol.
