Revlon Gentlemen Prefer Pink, Blushing Mauve, Sassy Mauve Super Lustrous Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Gentlemen Prefer Pink
Revlon Gentlemen Prefer Pink Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a brighter, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a soft, frosted finish. It had buildable coverage from medium to semi-opaque that glided on easily over my lips without tugging as the texture was lightweight, emollient (but not slippery), and easy to work with. The color went on evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip texture. It lasted well for four hours and felt lightly moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview
$8.49/0.15 oz. - $56.60 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "lightweight color and moisturizing shine" with "buildable color payoff" and a "gliding, smooth application." It's a good formula for those who like medium, buildable coverage with a smooth, balmy consistency that glides across lips easily but doesn't feel too slippery while worn.
They're comfortable to wear with light hydration but tend to wear a shorter length of time--anywhere from two to four hours with a couple of shades reaching a little beyond four hours. What I like most about the formula is the finish: it's luminous and more smoothing, so it's kinder to lips with imperfection or prone to dryness/flaking. The formula has slip but doesn't have any heaviness or slickness that makes it prone to getting into lip lines.

Blushing Mauve
Revlon Blushing Mauve Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a soft, medium-dark pink with moderate, warm undertones and fine pink and gold pearl throughout. It had buildable coverage from medium to semi-opaque (two to three layers). The texture was lightweight, emollient without being too slippery, and thin without feeling clingy. It applied evenly, though there was a very small amount of product that sank into my deeper lip line that I could see in the close-up photo but not in person. It wore well for four hours and was lightly hydrating over time.

PPermanent. $8.49.
Sassy Mauve
Revlon Sassy Mauve Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had a faint sheen that gave it a more luminous finish without being overly emollient or slippery to wear. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and comfortable to apply and to wear as the color went on evenly in a single layer. It had medium, buildable coverage (up to semi-opaque with two layers) that stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Both Sassy Mauve and Blushing Mauve are absolutely lovely looking applied! Only catch is, as someone who used to wear many a Revlon lipstick, I remember them as always causing some chapping of my lips. At least the more frosted formulas did. I may give Sassy Mauve a try since at $8-9, it won’t be a terrible loss if it fails my lips. I’m still looking more towards getting Bobbi Brown In a Jam instead, though.
The mauves do look good!
Ooh I remember owning sassy mauve about 7-8 years ago and I was so impressed with the formula. It was a little too opaque for my taste at that time but this one seems a little glossier. Wonder if they have changed the formula over the years.
Blushing Mauve and Sassy Mauve are beautiful pink shades that I think my daughter in law would love.
Ooh, I do like Gentlemen Prefer Pink. 😀 These are all nice shades.
