description

Transparent pigment merges with the unique, natural tone of your lips to create something wonderful and yours alone. Clinique's cult classic Black Honey is more than lipstick. It's a phenomenon. This iconic shade is famous for its chameleon-like ability to flatter all skin tones yet look different on everyone. The secret is its perfect blend of blue, red, and yellow pigments in a creamy, sheer base that melts into lips, playing up their natural color. Don't be fooled by the way Black Honey Clinique Lipstick looks in the tube. Transparent pigment glides on a sheer, glossy slip of lightweight color. Allergy tested. 100% fragrance free.

Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is a little stickier than I like my lip products, but it’s really not that sticky, I’m just sensitive to that kind of thing. The color’s perfect on me,...

I've been coveting this for a while after reading SOOOO many positive reviews. I don't like heavy lipstick, in fact, I am mostly a balm girl. I don't like heavy or sticky, but my lips always feel...

This is a wonderful lipstick! The shade is super sheer and looks great, whether for day or night. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is because I wish it lasted a bit longer once applied. But...

When I first applied this, I was a bit disappointed....but a few minutes later I was amazed at how moist and healthy my lips looked. It seems it takes a while for the color to settle on the lips....

If you want to splurge on a beautiful sheer lip color, this is it. Not one of a kind though. Will not repurchase.

This stuff leaves a nice wash of sheer color on the lips. It's hard to define the color, its a dark kind of berry... but not to dark. I like this, but I wouldn't buy it again because I could find...

It gave my lips a nice, sheer wash of color so that they were a "my lips but better" shade. It lasted a pretty good while, and when it did fade, my lips were stained a light, berry color. However,...
