Lipstick comes in matte black packaging with gunmetal accents inside, that had nice weight to it, and definitely looks luxurious, yet simple and elegant. It is rectangular, so it doesn’t roll around. This is not a big deal to me, but I know some people prefer this type of packaging.

An affair is described as a deep plum satin matte color. I find it to be rich deep berry/wine, with mostly matte finish. It only has some shine in natural direct sunlight.

It is a gorgeous color. I was looking for a wine color to match some of my fall clothes, and this was it! It is on a darker side, but I think it can match various skin tones.

It goes on smooth, not patchy at all, and it’s very pigmented. I find it a bit drying on the lips, although they advertise it as a moisturizing matte lipstick. Still, it is less drying than some liquid matte lipsticks I have tried.

The color lasts long on the lips, but transfers a bit. I like the nice stains that it leaves. I didn’t experience any feathering, even without a primer or lip liner.
