Lustful
Milani Lustful Color Fetish Shine Lipstick ($8.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a muted, peachy coral with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had medium color coverage in a single layer, which applied fairly evenly and smoothly across my lips, but there was a touch of product that settled into my deeper lip lines that was noticeable after an hour of wear.
The consistency felt lightweight, thin but quite emollient and balm-like as it felt like it melted against the warmth of my lips. It lasted for two hours and felt lightly hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview
$8.99/0.1 oz. - $89.90 Per Ounce
It's supposed to have "sheer to medium coverage" with an "ultra-moisturizing" formula that is a cross between a lip balm and a lipstick. The formula was very emollient, lightweight, and had the feeling that it melted against the warmth of my lips during application. The coverage ranged from medium to semi-opaque more than they were ever sheer, though.
Most shades applied evenly and weren't prone to emphasizing lip lines or lip texture but a few shades were less flattering applied as they caught on imperfections. They were comfortable to apply and to wear, but they were more lightly hydrating while on but didn't feel like they were adding long-term hydration (even after wearing the formula back-to-back).
They lasted between two and three hours, so they were shorter-wearing than average, but easy to reapply. The formula had a sweet, fruity scent and slightly sweet taste.

Tied Up
Milani Tied Up Color Fetish Shine Lipstick ($8.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium brown with moderate, warm undertones that leaned a little red paired with a luminous sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single pass, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without settling noticeably into my lip lines.
The texture felt smooth and emollient with a high amount of slip, so the two-hour wear time was unsurprising, but I felt like this made my lips look smoother and better than they actually were in reality, so it was a flattering formula to have on.

Lingerie
Milani Lingerie Color Fetish Shine Lipstick ($8.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff in a single layer, which was more intensity than marketed, that applied fairly evenly across my lips.
The consistency was lightweight, thin, and very emollient with a lot of glide–definitely felt more like a lipstick-lip-balm hybrid–that wasn’t the most forgiving of imperfections. It wore well for two and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.
