PROS: The shade is beautiful and unique. I haven't really encountered a great dupe for it. It's a buildable color so you can wear it sheer or really opaque. It's long wearing and leaves a good fuschia-purple stain when it fades. This is (supposedly) locally available here in the Philippines (they just restocked it last year).

CONS: If your lips are pigmented like mine, this could come off as a bit dark for regular wear. It's also pricey.

VERDICT: 

I will definitely repurchase!

TIP: If you have pigmented lips like me, or you just feel like it's too dark to wear (at a certain moment), grab a pink (deeper and darker the better) gloss to lighten it up. Sometimes I wear any dark pink lipstick (under it) to do the job. :)
