Best texture
I love matte lipstick & partly for its staying power. This has good staying power but it's not as impressive as I had hoped or expected from KA's wonderful line. The "moisturizing" aspect is a tip-off & serves to make the texture smooth like a thick balm but with high pigmentation. It's build-able, too. If you're looking for good coverage with moisture, this is IT.
Bloodroses looks nearly black in the tube but for me is the prefect blend of plum & wine. I can make it look goth-y or dab it with my finger & it looks like a lovely stain.
On star off for for average longevity.

Vampy!
This is the vampy shade to end all others. A little darker than its blush counterpart, in a very warm oxblood. Just about perfect for any complexion. Goes on smoothly with no hitching or dragging. I haven't worn it for long yet, so not sure about wear time or transfer yet.
