Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in 3 Iconic Shades Black Honey, Pink, and Nude Honey | Sheer + Lightweight

I love this stuff. Probably one of the only lip colors I’ve ever repurchased. They aren’t kidding when they say it looks good on everyone. It’s smooth, moisturizing and not at all thick. There is no scent. It’s a little pricey but if you get a sale it’s not too bad. My only complaint is that it doesn’t stay on longer. However no mirror needed for reapplying.

I love this stuff. It feels like a high-end lip balm but leaves a really pretty, sheer wash of color that seems to match my natural lip tone perfectly. It goes on smooth and doesn't cling to dry spots, so I can apply it in the car without even checking a mirror. It has a soft sheen that is not too glossy or sticky. I usually swipe it on once for a subtle look or a few times if I want a bit more color. Plus, the slim silver tube is tiny and fits into any bag. It is a great choice if you want something easy that makes you look put together.

I have strawberry blonde hair, green eyes, and a warm complexion. Most lipsticks look clownish on me, but as I age my lips tend to be dry and pale. I bought the new Nude Honey and it was PERFECT. My lips look moist but not glossy and they have a very natural look of color that you wouldn’t call lipstick but brightens my face. At $25 it is a bit expensive, but cheaper than buying a lot of lipsticks I may wear once then throw away because the shade is all wrong. I don’t notice a fragrance or taste. This will become my “go to” daily wear. Now, I think I’ll try Black Honey for dressier affairs when I want more color in the evening. Buy this, girls. It’s everything it says it is.

I was a little nervous that this would be super dark withe the name Black Honey, but no...it is gorgeous! I can see why this is a #1 seller for Clinique. Goes on smooth, stays that way and doesn't dry out. Little bit of shine, but not overly shiny. Give it a try. You'll love it.

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 ★

Nice light tinted lip balm! Love the buildable color. Love the way my lips feel with it on. No smell. It’s expensive so I watch for an Amazon deal!

Like the feel and color . Smooth and full coverage. Have to reapply, not long lasting.

If you're like me and you can't stand lip makeup that's too bold or feels sticky... I can't recommend this product enough. It's so subtle that it looks natural. It's moisturizing yet also doesn't leave a particular feeling on the lips. Really, it feels like I didn't put anything on but still enhances the feel and look of my lips. 10/10 will only ever use Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey.

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

It's neither a lipstick nor a lipstick balm...

Love this colour .

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

I could use this forever and not need any other lip product. I put a little bit and it gives a pinkish color. I add more and it gives a darker warmer color. Just perfect.
