Almost Lipstick

This product is gorgeous and hydrating. It is also buildable and you can achieve a bolder color with several layers if that is what you want. I find it to be a great “everyday wear” lip color. I was intimidated by how dark it looked at first, but it does not transfer on dark. It is very flattering.

I really like this tinted lip balm. I got the black honey, and it has a nice subtle color that just provides a healthy look while moisturizing the lips. I would say it would be universally flattering no matter your skin tone. It also uses plant based waxes for structure (candelilla and carnauba) instead of beeswax which is good for sensitive lips and those who are allergic to propolis/beeswax products. The color lasts awhile too without needing to constantly reapply, but will eventually wear off with eating and as the day goes on.

I have used this product for many years in the shade of Black Honey. It is a high quality product which may cost a bit more but is so worth it. It does go on sale from time to time and is available in GWP (gift with purchase) travel sizes. The color is beautiful, stays put, is moisturizing, and goes with everything. It's now available in Pink and Nude Honey. While I prefer the Black Honey shade, the other colors are really nice as well.

Love this so much I gave it as a gift and they loved it. The color changes to suit any person's lip color. It can go from a deep predish-purple to a soft pink gloss. Leaves my lips feeling moisturized and the perfect amount of color.

My friend who is brunette said this color looks good on everyone. I doubted her since I am blonde, fair skin and blue eyed. It really did look good in me as well. Fairly moisturizing and stays in pretty well.

Beautiful shade of sheer darker burgundy on my lips when applied. Lovely with gloss. As always Clinique is a high quality product. Stays on my lips for quite a long time and doesn't dry my lips out with a nice texture. I will buy this product again because the price was in line with other products of this quality. Very satisfied.

Black honey. This is an absolutely beautiful shade. It’s worth all of the hype. I never really wore lipstick or lipgloss before despite strong efforts to do so, but I am in love with this product. It has a great feel on the lips, the packaging is really convenient and sleek but mostly I love the tint that it adds. Because it isn’t a full coverage lipstick you don’t have to worry about the color getting everywhere so I find it very unintimidating to reapply throughout the day. It doesn’t often pill up like some lipsticks do, ans the shape of the tube is great, not too bulky, makes applying easy. Again, I just fell in love with the color! I felt like it enhanced the color of my lips, so it looks fairly natural, and because of that it wears off very gracefully. I like to buy it on Amazon because I feel like it goes on sale more often than other beauty stores. But I definitely recommend the product. It looks really nice with a gloss also to add that moisture boost. Originally, I just got a couple travel sizes back in October but im already through that tube. So anytime this goes on sale, I’m gonna buy it. If you can get a full tube for $15 or less, it’s definitely worth a try. This packaging is also kind of underrated because it’s great. It fits in the purse well and I don’t have to worry about the top flying off. I feel like it protects the product really well too. Super easy to use.

I’ve been obsessed with this lip color since Lord of the Rings (the original) came out. In all this time, it has never failed me. A true neutral color, this barely there berry has been stunning on both cool and warm toned friends. The formula is moisturizing and surprisingly durable (4/5 hours) for how sheer the color is. Note that this is NOT a one application and done type product, it’s more of a bridge between chapstick and lip stick. It’s perfect for no makeup, makeup or a toned down vamp look. Also one tube lasts forever, so it’s worth the price.
