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.

Such a lovely, sheer reddish plum. Perfect colour, a seeming slightly intense version of the natural lip tone. Halfway between a gloss and lipstick in intensity. Great for lipstick phobics like...

I bought this because it seemed like a "must have"; not true at all for me anyway. Just a plain old lip gloss. Nothing special at all. I returned it.

HG. First review I wrote on this was a bad one - but I put waaaaaaaaay too much on... it's a matter of sweeping it on one stroke on top and bottom... and you have a natural Liv Tyler-esque...

This product scared me at first at how dark it was. It goes on very sheer and light. It isn't sticky at all and provides a very nice color.

Not only is this a gorgeous shade, but it has quite a cult following. It's a favorite of Sofia Coppola, and it's famously the shade/product used on Liv Tyler in "Lord of the Rings." Sheer and...

I love this stuff. I've gone through 2 of them already! Like everyone else says, it looks natural at first, but you can build it up if you want to. I usually wear it every day under another lip...

This lip color is great It goes on very light but you build up the coverage. So you can give it a quick swipe for an everyday tint, and then lay it on thick for evenings when you want something...

While this is an okay product, I don't think it's really anything special. It's so sheer that it feels like a lightly tinted lipbalm, and not even a really moisturizing one. It's a nice universally...

This was one of my first clinique purcheses back in the 80's. I wore that lipstick down, loved it. I was happy to see it back in the thin metal tube. I still love the sheer berry stain it creates...

I really like this lipstick. Probably because it's not very lipsticky. It's more balm to me than lipstick, but I prefer balm, so I'm happy. When I showed this to my mom, she laughed and said she...

This is a gorgeous berry colored stain, and will suit most people (it's quite neutral). But it doesn't last (I need to reapply at least 5-6x per day). And it's so drying!! My lips got chapped...

I like the way it feels - very comfortable - but no lasting power at all. It dries my lips after a while a bit. I am not that fond of the colour...it's pretty boring on me. I like the gloss on it....
