Almost Lipstick

I really like this tinted lip balm. I got the black honey, and it has a nice subtle color that just provides a healthy look while moisturizing the lips. I would say it would be universally flattering no matter your skin tone. It also uses plant based waxes for structure (candelilla and carnauba) instead of beeswax which is good for sensitive lips and those who are allergic to propolis/beeswax products. The color lasts awhile too without needing to constantly reapply, but will eventually wear off with eating and as the day goes on.

I have used this product for many years in the shade of Black Honey. It is a high quality product which may cost a bit more but is so worth it. It does go on sale from time to time and is available in GWP (gift with purchase) travel sizes. The color is beautiful, stays put, is moisturizing, and goes with everything. It's now available in Pink and Nude Honey. While I prefer the Black Honey shade, the other colors are really nice as well.

Beautiful shade of sheer darker burgundy on my lips when applied. Lovely with gloss. As always Clinique is a high quality product. Stays on my lips for quite a long time and doesn't dry my lips out with a nice texture. I will buy this product again because the price was in line with other products of this quality. Very satisfied.

I’m new to this product but honestly feel like I’m late to a really great party! This stuff is amazing. Perfect subtle color with a very moisturizing feel. Not sticky or gooey, just a hydrating nice feel. I’m an old so passed the stage of being bothered with lip liner and this is perfect for mature women. It doesn’t settle in wisdom creases or those “wth is wrong with you” lines around the lips we worked years to achieve. It’s just really nice. And for the young folks still waking up two hours early to do makeup, this stuff is really beautiful.

The color is great. It is buildable. The formula is moisturizing and looks fantastic on literally everyone. However, the color wears off quickly and so you are constantly needing to reapply. I prefer more of a stain or something with a little more durability.

I’ve been obsessed with this lip color since Lord of the Rings (the original) came out. In all this time, it has never failed me. A true neutral color, this barely there berry has been stunning on both cool and warm toned friends. The formula is moisturizing and surprisingly durable (4/5 hours) for how sheer the color is. Note that this is NOT a one application and done type product, it’s more of a bridge between chapstick and lip stick. It’s perfect for no makeup, makeup or a toned down vamp look. Also one tube lasts forever, so it’s worth the price.

I really like the look and feel of this lip balm. It doesn't feel gummy or pill up overtime. You can control the depth of color with the number of layers. So one application is not super dark but a nice warm color. If I want a more dramatic color experience go with 2-3 applications. It is more red and not a deep plum color but overall really nice.

I am a senior citizen, lots of wrinkles. I have very thin lips so lipstick is always a problem for me, I usually stick to a Chapstick because lipstick brings too much attention to my very thin lips. BUT this lipstick works perfectly, it seems to add luster and accentuate my normal lip color. I received compliments yesterday while out by several family members, saying 'something about you has changed, you look prettier', etc. It was this fab lipstick. Love the applicator, this lipstick goes on smoothly and lasts for hours (even while eating). thank you!

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...

Good quality, nice mascara but lip not my favorite colour for myself. I liked the feel and stay of the lip just not my colour

The shade “Black Honey” looks a bit dark in the tube, but once applied, it gives the most natural and flattering tint that suits every skin tone. It feels super smooth and hydrating, like a lip balm, but with the perfect hint of color that makes lips look healthy and polished. I love that it’s lightweight, not sticky at all, and easy to reapply. It has definitely become my go-to for everyday wear — simple, elegant, and timeless.

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.
