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 - 11 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.

Crayon?
It's very sheer, compliments the natural lip color... However.... It smells and tastes like a crayon. Do not recommend.

Do not order online!
The size in the ad is not the same size they send you. They send a smaller size and then make the return process difficult. As usual, you can't speak to a human to get assistance. If you want this lipstick that badly, go to the store and get the correct size. I had already tried it on before noticing the difference between what they sent and the ad, so I'm stuck with it now.

Smells Waxy
I like the color and feel but I just picked this up today and it smells waxy like chapstick, or maybe like old lipstick.

Natural and Flattering
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This shade is perfect if you're going for a soft, barely-there nude — very natural and flattering. The creamy texture feels smooth and moisturizing on my lips, without being too heavy or greasy. I love how it enhances my natural lip color instead of masking it. The finish isn't super long-lasting though; I need to reapply after eating or drinking. Overall, it's a comfy, everyday lipstick that's great for minimal makeup days.

I'm glad this product is still around after all these years!
I remember this lipstick back in the day when it came in a pot...loved the color but not the packaging it came in. It's just a smooth lipstick, not too much color...just enough when you don't want to get all dolled up.

Really good product to build off and as a daily lip balm
This product overall is great, it stains your lips pretty well, you can layer it, and never feels like too much. I think it's great tor anyone starting out at makeup. I do think the cap could be more secure tho, just be sure to roll the lip balm all the way down before closing it so if it does come off, your bag won't be stained

My new lip color staple!
I rarely have found a lip color that I truly love, so I was pleasantly surprised that this one delivers on the hype. The shade does compliment my skin tone. It feels light and smooth on my lips. It's a keeper!

Moisturizing and great color!
Love this product! I don't always want a lot of lip color like lipstick, but want the moisturization. This is a step up from chapstick because it does add some tint, but you can control how much tint by just doing a swipe or adding on more layers for more color. And it lasts a long time as well. My new go-to!

Pretty impressed
I honestly was skeptical when I opened it but then immediately impressed! It goes on so smooth, the color is flattering, and the most important part is that it does not dry out my lips! Now I just need to get the black honey!

So much better than the pink honey!
I'm a big fan of the original black honey and wear it every day. When I found out there was a nude one now, I just had to try it. Now I have two options depending on my mood. I still have the pink honey, but I seldom wear it because of how light it is.

My holy grail. Worth every penny
I have a double lip line and have never been able to get into lipsticks because they make me look like a clown. But the nude honey is absolutely perfect. It is sheer but buildable. Looks SO natural, like my lips but better. I would buy this product 100x over.

It sounded so good!
I took a chance. I liked the color. An hour later it faded to almost nothing. Not worth it to me. I returned it.
