Swatch & Review: Milani Cosmetics Lipstick in (15) Royal Ruby

Milani Lipstick in Royal Ruby

I thought it was pure red but, to me, it's a really strong, saturated pink. lol. I could just be colour blind. In any case, I'll be wearing this all summer. It's close enough to the current neon and brights trend without being dated.  I noted several things about this colour:

1. It bleeds. You absolutely have to use a lipliner.
2. It doesn't hold up very well over lip balm and it doesn't fade well either. You just have to reove and reapply.
3. It is pretty moisturizing. I give it a 4/5. 
4. I got about 4 good hours out of this colour. 
5. Royal Ruby must be reapplied after eating. 
6. Ignoring my freckled lips, for the average person, it is very opaque.
7. It is unique. There aren't many out there like it. 

Overall Rating - 4/5
