The Spring Season: Warmer Pinks Lipstick Wrap-up

Guerlain Garance (06) Rouge G Lipstick ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is this mix of coral and pink with a hint of beige/nude. It's not quite a coral, but it's not a true pink... and it's muted by an almost pinky-nude shade. I wasn't even sure if this was better classified as a...
