Can you help me find a specific lipstick shade?

I know that the doyennes of Style & Beauty know everything, please would you take pity on a clueless amateur?

My favourite lipstick is getting low, but I can't remember where I got it from. I've tried searching the shade name and looking at pictures online, but haven't found it (yet). The case has no branding on it, the shade label says 'Romance' but the rest is unreadable (except Made in USA).
As is probably obvious I don't frequent nice beauty counters and tend to buy makeup in Superdrug/Boots or supermarkets so it definitely won't be a high-end brand. It is probably at least 3 years old, more likely to be 5 or more.

The case is square(ish), slightly wider at the midpoint. It is a purple-brown kind of colour with a slight shimmer (the case). The metal bit inside is silver. Other than the label on the base, there are no other marks or branding.

Does anyone recognise the brand?

It's hard to find a dupe as I can't find any picture of it on the lips or watches. I did look at Maybelline Touch of Spice?

Or Maybelline Almond Pink.

L'oreal color Riche lipstick Velvet Rose? Tender Pink?

Hmm, getting a decent picture is surprisingly difficult. The photo looks more pinky red than it is really.
I have dark brown hair with some grey, dark brown eyes and am winter colouring. I have a bold red lipstick (from House of Colour) which does suit me, but I was looking for a more 'nicer than natural' pinky colour. A little bit deeper than my natural lip colour, but not obviously artificial, if that makes sense. I think the Maybelline Almond Pink is the closest, thank you.

I bought a lovely pink lipstick a few days ago. L'oréal color Riche in Rosewood. 133. It's lovely and glossy unlike the Maybelline ones, and it's a dark pink pretty much like yours.

Oooh, thanks MistyRose, the Rosewood Nonchalent on the ebay page looks good.
Thanks everyone.

I love it. So easy to wear and they smell just like the old Lancome lipsticks.

There is a brand of lipsticks called "Pure Romance", these are in rounded square shaped cases. However, I think that you would have mentioned the shape of the tip when new if you had bought one of these. Just Google "lipstick pure romance". 😊😋
