Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick ~ Mauve it Over 003, Review + Swatches!

Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks are famously known for having a wide variety of shades and different finishes. This one, mauve it over, is of matte finish. The name is quite on spot, because the color is mauve, but just that it's prettier than mauve. It's like a perfect nude-purplish lip color. I really like the packaging of these lipsticks, since there are no edges to it. Which I don't really like, cause then you have to think even when putting the lid back on the lipstick, like the Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks. Also, on the top of the lid there is a transparent part, from which you can see the shade of the lipstick without having to open it, which of course adds to the convenience.
From the top:

The lipstick is 4.2 g which is actually more than the average lip products which is mostly 3.5 g. All the pictures are taken in indoor lighting.

Even though the lipstick is matte, the texture is extremely creamy, and butter soft. The finish is perfectly matte. The lipstick is scentless, so it's a great option for people who are sensitive to smell. I feel it also moisturizes my lips, regardless of being matte, because of The lasting power is great. It lasts me around 5-7 hours without any touch-ups.
I absolutely love this shade, because it's very wearable. And you can also match it with a smokey eye look. Especially if you're tired of doing nude lips, like me.
Here is the swatch (picture taken in indoor lighting):

I bought this from Lahore Hyperstar for Rs. 1400. It is also available at http://www.ulta.com/ and most drugstores for $6-8 depending on where you buy it from.
The color has bluish undertones, so this color would most probably suit people with cooler undertones more as compared to people with warm undertones.
You may like it:
1) If you like matte finishes
2) If you have cool undertones
3) If you are sensitive to scented lipsticks
You might not like it if:
1) You have warm undertones
2) You like cream finishes
Overall, I really like this lipstick. Especially cause it's a type of color I can wear on a daily basis. As well as with a smokey eye look. And I love matte lipsticks, so it's a great lipstick for me.
