*Teak Rose* is a creamy deep rose with mauve & brown hints to it, a non-shimmery color that can do wonders for people with cool and neutral complexions. Unfortunately, not the case with me :( This particular shade looks beautiful like a deep YLBB in the tube, but the mauve undertones come up richly upon application, at least on me. I'm very warm-toned (redhead, brown eyes, fair/light skin w/ yellow undertones) and often have this problem with lipsticks that seem to be YLBB shades (same happened with *Smokey Rose*). On the other hand, *Rosewine* turned out to be what I was expecting from *Teak Rose*, a true creamy warm rose :)
UPDATE 08/26/2009: Well, I was experimenting with this lipstick and several lipliners and finally made it work for me :) If I apply (softly) a redish-brown lipliner (I used Rimmel's 1000 Kisses in Spice) and than follow with the lipstick and blend well, the result is a beautiful earthy rose, so creamy and rich. I'm now giving it 4 points and not 5 because I can't wear it on its own, but with this trick I'm totally loving the new color, so perfect for fall/winter! continued >>

On me this is a dark neutral woody pink (if that makes sense). Looks best if I wear it over lipbalm to the get MLBB look. All the usual good qualities of Revlon lippies, and I would rebuy it if I found it on sale.

I've only wore this once before today, but I think this is a lovely shade for Spring and I will be choosing it often! It's a ripe, opaque coral-pink...not a warm shade but not a cool either. I wouldn't call this bright against my light/med. olive skin, but it's certainly not a muted shade; like I said, it's a very RIPE color! I think Super Lustrous lipsticks are among the best available since being reformulated a couple years ago; love the rich formula, love the secure click when closing the tube. They wear beautifully, are wonderfully pigmented, and apply so smoothly. I wore this today with BE Bare Skin Glimmer and Retro Liner on my eyes, along with Alima's Antique Rose blush. I added a little Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Champagne on my lower lip for a touch of light. Very pleased with this!

I got this packaged with Glossy Rose at Big Lots for 1.99. When I first put it on (with the gloss) it seemed to be a bright pink (i hate pink!), but I blotted it down and it was pretty nice. Good for an everyday going-to-work casual look. It's still a little on the bright side, but it makes my teeth look whiter, so yay! I'm a warm PPP, by the way, so it's probably just the contrast between my pale pale skin and the color that makes it seem so bright.
Wow, I love this! I got it in an ebay batch, and tossed it in a drawer and forgot about it. Finally I pulled it out and put it on, and lo! it's the exact cross between pink and red that I've been looking for - a hard color to describe, a kind of rosy-brownish-red neutral. Love! I also love the texture - not too matte and not too creamy. With a neutral eye, it's THE most perfect office look for me - just dressed up enough.

I bought this because it looked good in the ads in a magazine. It's a medium rosy shade on me, and can be a bit overwhelming (too dark) unless I blot it a couple of times. It wears well, doesn't dry out my lips, and is a nice color for me.
Well originally I had tried it on my hand. It looked nice..then I got it home and tried it on my lips and oh no!! Wrong-0!! Not for me...will be sending this one home to mom..she loves all shades of pink.
This shade was not the most flattering on scandinavian PPP skin me. I thought it looked very natural YLBB color in the tube but when applied...it was too pink. I would not call it very strong pink but enough to make my easily reddening nose to look even more pink. I look like I am freezing when I am wearing this rosey pink shade. Id need more warm tones there. This works in combination with some other color. However I love the texture. It is weightless enough and not too creamy.
