ILIA A Fine Romance Multi-Stick ($34.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with subtle, cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-sheer color coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage, which made it one of the more pigmented shades within the range (for those who need or desire higher coverage).
The texture was lightweight, smooth, and moderately emollient but had to be warmed up slightly before really yielding color, so I preferred to apply with fingertips as a result. The product applied evenly to my cheeks and blended out with ease as the more gel-like consistency ensured it spread out well without lifting up base products. It never fully dried down, so while it lasted for seven hours before starting to fade, it wasn't transfer-proof--something to keep in mind.
As a lip product, it had more medium coverage--applied directly from the tube, which was the easiest way to get an even layer of product--and sat fairly well on my lips; it stayed on for two and a half hours and felt non-drying.
