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.

What a sucker I am. After reading all the fabulous reviews of this product, I just had to try it for myself. So I paid too much on Ebay and went for it. Color? What color? I may as well just wear...

Love the texture, but it's too sheer & dark. Looks to dark to be gloss, too sheer to really show up. A shame, because I really wanted this to work!

Clinique is definitely not discontinuing this color - it's their #1 seller! Just wanted to put that rumor to rest.

I love this lipstick. It's a really pretty raisin red tint that is perfect for any occasion. It's not too bold for everyday wear, and it's not too sheer for going out. This looks great whether i'm...

Now that I'm in love with this the rumor at the Clinique counter is that this shade will be discontinued. The color is intimidating at first glance, but once applied it is a nice sheer berry color....
