Q: What is the finish of this lipstick?
submitted by TargetBunny - 3 years ago
A: We are so glad that you asked! Clinique Almost Lipstick Black Honey is not a gloss, not quite a lipstick with more of a balm-like consistency, giving lips a satiny shine. The more subtle shine makes it so versatile to dress up or dress down, making it the perfect companion no matter what your adventure! The warm berry shade compliments all skin tones, and this fan favourite formula can be layered for intensity. We can't wait for you to try it!

Q: How long can I expect this product to stay on?
submitted by Flygirl MN - 9 months ago
A: Thanks so much for asking! Almost Lipstick, not quite a lipstick, not quite a gloss, features a balm-like texture and transparent pigment that glides on sheer with a glossy slip of lightweight colour. The application technique of this versatile formula influences the look and wear- it may be worn alone or with other lip colours and, if preferred, you can easily extend the wear by filling in your lip area with a lip liner prior to application. Take a look at Quickliner for Lips shades Neutrally and Lipblush for some universally flattering options. Enjoy!

Q: Does it have expiration date?
submitted by Nat - 1 year ago
A: Some products include a Period After Opening (PAO) number (which shows a number followed by “M”) that indicates the number of months within which an opened product should be used or replaced. Once a product is opened and used, its integrity can be affected by such things as exposure to environmental conditions or from contact with the user’s skin. If a product is not fully used following that time frame, we suggest replacing it in order to assure product integrity.

Plump Lips
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey is a sheer, flattering lip color that strikes the perfect balance between a balm and a lipstick. Its lightweight, moisturizing formula glides on smoothly and delivers a soft, natural tint that enhances your lips' natural hue without feeling heavy or sticky. Nude Honey is a universally appealing shade—subtle, warm, and ideal for everyday wear, offering a "your lips but better" look. While not long-lasting, it's easy to reapply and leaves lips feeling hydrated and comfortable. It's a go-to choice for those who prefer effortless, understated beauty. Packaging is perfect for travel. Smooth finish and lasting pigment.

I thought it was too good to be true
This really does compliment my natural skin tone and lip shade so naturally without making me feel like a clown. The price is more approachable than I anticipated as well. I ended up getting the original black honey but came back to get the pink honey because I liked the original so much.

Great pigmentation
It's a great product just not my color, the pigmentation is good and so is the texture and it lasts pretty much throughout the day. Easy to open packaging and not much of a scent.

The texture is lightweight and smooth
I really like this lipstick! The texture is lightweight and smooth, it feels more like a balm than a traditional lipstick. The color is sheer but buildable, giving a natural look that's perfect for everyday wear. The packaging is sleek and elegant, and while the durability isn't super long-lasting, it's easy to reapply without feeling heavy.

Perfect for moisturizing and hint of color
I'm not a fan of the goopiness and color transfer that most lipstick has, but I look washed out without any color on my lips, so this is a nice in-between. It feels like chapstick, and keeps my lips soft, but adds just enough color for an easy low maintenance look. Black Honey is my favorite, on my light/neutral skin tone. I recently bought the new Nude Honey in the hopes it might also be a good match, but it's not quite enough color for me and looks like I'm wearing nothing. (see comparison picture) The Black Honey adds some color, but not too much, and matches just about everything. It's easy to keep in my bag and swipe on as needed throughout the day. One downside: If you go to an event that has a metal detector or a theme park and have this in your bag, they'll flag you every time, thinking it's a vape or something! LOL

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey is a sheer, warm nude that adds a soft, natural tint to the lips. The texture feels smooth and balmy, giving a comfortable, hydrating wear. It's versatile for everyday use, though you'll need touch-ups since the color is light and buildable.

perfect fall lipstick!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] great color for fall! I was hesitant at first, because it leans more on the brown side rather than red. my all time favorite lipstick is black honey, so I was super excited to try this one. it does not glide on as easily as black honey right out of the package, however i'm sure that it will glide fine after a few uses. you can build up the pigment with each swipe which I love! and it pairs really well with the lip oil!

Lip balm with color
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I liked the packaging it's sleek and feels like a balm with a subtle touch of color. You can easily build the color and doesn't feel heavy it's a good option for a no makeup makeup routine.
