I ummed and ahhed about whether to get this colour, but it has just arrived and it is really lovely. I haven't tested the mixer yet but the colour is more beautifaul than in the pictures. I was expecting a racy hot pink, this is a slightly more sophisticated colour and raspberry is a good description of it, the pearlised shimmer is very subtle, it's not a sparkly finish like I thought it would be, I really like it. I saw one person (who had not seen the mixer) suggest that only a 13 year girl would go for this shade, that comment almost put me off but I am glad I ordered it anyway. If you love pink and want an alternative to the very pale pink that is widely available, this is a great option. The glass bowl is very heavy but comes with a handle, you may need to order an additional metal bowl if lifting heavy things are an issue for you.
