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

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.

This formula, color payoff, and longevity is perfect! I’ve always been more of a lipgloss girl but I wanted something more long lasting as I started my first office job. I layer this on top of a lip stain and it provides a perfect smooth, glossy finish, and feels as moisturizing as a lip balm. The smoothness lasts for most of my work day, with minimal reapplication needed, and my lips keep their wash of light pink. Highly recommend, this product is now part of my everyday routine!

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.

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 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.

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!

This is literally the best lip product I’ve ever gotten! My lips are soft and smooth, the color is perfect, my lips don’t blend in with my skin anymore! lol This will be the only lip product I use from now on

Gorgeous, elegant color, eye catching shine but not glossy, smooth, moisturizing, easy application. I love this sheer but deep colored formula. Why oh why can’t it last longer?!

Très jolie couleur et bonne texture je recommande

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

¡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 ❣️.

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

Love this colour .
