What it is
A hot topic on social media! #CliniqueBlackHoney, which has been viewed over 250 million times on TikTok, has finally arrived in Japan. When you apply this dark red like black pomegranate to your lips, it blends with any skin tone and lip color for a personalized sheer finish. More than a lip gloss, but less than a lipstick. This chameleon-like "Black Honey" has a honey-like melting texture, brings out a natural flush of color, and changes its impression depending on who wears it. The emollient formula provides smooth care for your lips.
Ingredients
How to use
Apply color directly to clean, bare lips using a lip brush.

I saw the holiday limited edition in store and fell in love with the packaging at first sight. The silver glitter is so sparkly that just looking at it makes me feel happy. It looks like a tinted lipstick, but it seems to contain 95% skin conditioning ingredients. It's so beautiful that I wish the case was refillable so I could use it forever.
I bought this for BEAUTY DAY 2025. I was unsure which shade to choose, but I ended up choosing Black Honey. It doesn't feel like you've put on any makeup at all, and the color is more subdued than I expected. When I look in the mirror, my lips appear a little darker, brightening my complexion. I like that it doesn't leave my lips feeling sticky or slimy. I'm hoping it will protect my lips from the dry winter weather.
I usually mainly use tinted lipsticks, and this one is just as easy to use. It starts out matte, but when you apply it over and over, it gives off a nice shine and can be used casually. It's become my favorite lipstick. It has a light feel, so even the rich color of Black Honey doesn't make my lips look too adult, even though I have a fairly childish face. Maybe because it came in a gift set, the packaging is different from usual.
It really does color beautifully! If you're looking for lipstick, this is the best! I've run out of it in Korea and want to buy it again. I'll definitely buy it again!!
I had been using the Black Honey gloss until now, but I saw a great deal on a set on Suzykirei, so I decided to buy the lipstick. It has a smooth application like lip balm, and the thin shape makes it easy to apply.
