Testers in make up shops are still AWOL. Please help me find a cheap velvety matte mauve lippy like Revlon Colorburst Sultry 225

[flashbac]

It has to be something I can pick up easily in my local Boots or Superdrug. Nothing shiny or shimmery as those finishes make me look ill!

Is this the right stuff OP? It says it's a balm rather than a lippy but the rest is the same and it's only a fiver or so (assuming it's not fake, but the reviews all look OK)

Or if you want to get it from a physical shop, MAC Twig looks very similar - how big is your Boots store?

That's the one. The coverage is great and not balm-like at all. The trouble is that it has been discontinued and online stock is running out so I need to look for alternatives. MAC is a bit over my budget (I'm not working at the moment). I went out today to try and match something from maybelline, loreal or one of those brands but still no testers in the aisles!
