I'm NC30 in Studio Fix (powder) and I absolutely loved Russian Red - it's a matte, yeah, but it's not too bad in terms of dryness. I also picked up Redwood, which is a glaze formula - smoother, and nicer to apply - which is slightly darker and is more brown. Russian Red is very straight blue-red.
As far as other colours, I've tried Hug Me, and on my fairly pigmented lips, it didn't show nearly well as I hoped
I'm going to try Honeylove next, I'll let you know how that goes!
(I do have some other recommendations, but they're all LE!)
HTH!
