Clinique Almost Lipstick (Nude Honey)

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.

This is a lip color that has caused a buzz from Clinique! When I bought the mascara, I got a mini size to try it out (^^) It looks dark, but when you apply it, it's surprisingly light and has a natural berry color! It's a lip color that seems easy to wear on a daily basis.

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.

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.

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.
