Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey | Sheer + Lightweight Moisturizing Lipstick

I don’t care what anyone says—this is the perfect lip color for EVERYONE. It’s honestly like magic. Somehow it seems to conform to your individual skin tone and becomes the perfect shade for YOU. Both of my sisters have tried mine, and it looks different on each of them, yet absolutely gorgeous on all of us. On my olive skin tone, it is incredibly flattering and gives me that perfect sheer wash of color without looking heavy or overdone. The formula is lightweight and feels more like a lip balm than a traditional lipstick, but you still get that beautiful hint of color. And can we talk about the packaging? The container itself is gorgeous—flat-out GORGEOUS. It so perfect and so much more for a tinted lip balm. This is one of those products that just WORKS. Pure magic. Need it. Want it. Obsessed with it. **BUY IT.**

Very nice tinted lip balm. Goes on smoothly, doesn't dry lips as many products do. The black honey color is really a nice subtle tint- true to the samples shown. Over the years most tints & shades have inevitably turned darker than advertised. So this has been a very unexpected and pleasant surprise. Highly recommend

Beautiful neutral light reddish-brown color lipstick that is flattering, moisturizing and can be worn sheer or layered for a more saturated color. Keep in mind it is a balm consistency so it won’t have the color saturation or staying power as a traditional lipstick but is an “almost lipstick” and a favorite.

Love this classic shade and the smooth application. Quality makes all the difference and I love this as a daily wear.

Ok, so after seeing all of the hype around the Clinique Black Honey and how it would look good on any skin tone I decided to finally purchase it. On the color/look: I'm the type of person who almost never wears makeup, aside from an occasional lippie. Normally lip colors look far too bold to wear without any other makeup; though this shade Black Honey is great with or without other makeup! It has a nice sheer look upon first application and is buildable to enhance and bolden the color if desired. Really feels like a "your lips but better" look. On the smell: So, it is stated in the description that it has no fragrance. I think this is important to mention as I dont see too many other reviews on the smell. Immediately upon application I was surprised at it strangely smelling like CRAYONS. I'm not sure why but it smells a bit of like old or cheap drugstore lipstick? Or like the cheap lipstick you get in little kid makeup kits. Like a waxy crayon smell, which stays throughout the whole time of wear. It's luckily not super strong of a smell, though it's definitely a bit off-putting to me. On the application: Glides on quite smoothly, as stated before it starts off somewhat sheer and is buildable for more full coverage. Although it starts off sheer it definitely has nice pigmentation immediately. On the feel: Although advertised as a "moisturizing lip balm," to me personally yes, it feels smooth, but not moisturizing such as something like a chapstick. It feels light, though I can still feel it on top of my lips; sitting on top rather than settling into them. When rubbing my lips together the lip balm starts to feel a bit gritty. Though even with that slight gritty feeling, the color still looks good and undisturbed, not blotchy. It does not feel sticky at all, which is great! Though obviously if you're somewhere windy and you hair flies into your face, your hair will stick to the lip balm. On the value for money: Overall at $25 I think the value for money is decent, though I feel it should be a bit cheaper; Although the color is great, it truly to me feels kindof more like a drugstore product. As such I feel its a bit on the pricey side, also considering how in my opinion there is a lot nicer feeling products at this price point. HOWEVER, you do get a great amount of product, which for me should last a very long time even with frequent wear. So if you do like the product/color I believe that it is worth at least the one time purchase! Overall, I would recommend anyone interested in the Clinique Black Honey to at least give it a one time purchase to try it out! 7.5/10 ★

I like to put a swipe of this over other lipsticks. It’s so pretty. The texture is soft and smooth. It applies light with one swipe and can be darker by adding more color. It’s very moisturizing, too.

Had to order this after hearing all the rave reviews. Color is beautiful but it doesn't stay on at all! Had to reapply 4 times in day to maintain the color. My Revlon colorstay lasts all day. The matching liner is good.

The black honey shade is amazing! I wanted to try it for so long, and I’m glad I finally did. I can wear it for a night out or swipe a little on to give my lips some color on days I do natural makeup. I do wish it were a bit more balm-y as I find myself putting lip gloss on top for hydration. It isn’t moisturizing or hydrating in my opinion. But because of this, I feel like the color lasts for a while since it kind of stains my lips.

Amazing color.

It's always great when a product turns up quickly and is exactly what you expected. Love this product.

Excellent rapport qualité prix. Moins cher qu’en boutique et j’adore la couleur ! Je recommande

¡El mejor bálsamo que he comprado! La textura es suave, el color es increíble y la hidratación es muy buena. He batallado muchísimo buscando bálsamos que no resequen más los labios y no había dado con uno tan bueno como este y que además te deje un color súper lindo. Diría que es el mejor que he probado y el único que seguiré comprando. Definitivamente he quedado tan encantada con este producto que encargué otro para ya. Eso sí, el color no dura mucho, pero puedes retocar las veces que quieras ❣️.

I was expecting more. The product has a unpleasant taste and the color accumulates in the lip lines. It's not even hydrating.
