 We all love a bright, bold lipstick - something that can perk up even the most basic look and a simple outfit. On some days, all we need is a red lipstick to spruce up a look. Of course, the perfect icing on the cake would be something that is affordable, with a good formula and pigment. And yes, a lipstick that doesn't transfer and lasts long.
