Milani Bing Cherry Lipstick

Try Out a Subdued Red!

Milani Bing Cherry Lipstick ($4.99 for 0.13 oz.) is a subdued cherry red--it's like a sheer cherry red but it's actually opaque on lips. There's still the brightness of a cherry red, but I think this is a much tamer way to wear one if full-on cherry...
