Sangria

Sangria is the color of blueberry stains, a matte blue-toned plummy purple.

The finish of this lipstick is matte, but the formula is incredibly moisturizing and smooth. It is hands-down the best formula for a matte lipstick that I've ever tried. It does fade a bit throughout the day, but honestly it is more of a settling down than a fading. It will stain your lips if you let it, which I think is an absolutely gorgeous look. Once it does this settling down it won't smudge or transfer, but the lipstick is certainly not smudge proof or transfer proof when you first put it on.

A while back I had wanted a Boots lipstick called New Black, and I wasn't able to get myself a tube but this one seems to be similar. If you own New Black, please let me know how similar they are, or at least seem to be.
