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.

The color is gorgeous but this stuff does not last on my lips for more than an hour or two - and that's assuming I don't eat or drink anything! For the price I think it's not worth it.

I recieved this little beauty in a swap, and am so glad I did! A perfect MLBB lipstick that feels great on and is easy to vamp up with a few extra swipes. Love!

This is a really pretty color. It gives my lips a nice berry tint. It also feels comfortable like a balm and gives a nice sheen. The only thing I don't like is it's lack of staying power. Other...
