Most Helpful Critical Review
Love the lipstick, not the color
I really like the consistency of this lipstick. It's not too heavy & not sticky like lipgloss tends to be. I only wish there were more colors available. I didn't think this shade worked well with my skin tone.

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.
I would totally buy this again
Birthday Mom loved it as a bday present
Yes

An everyday must have!
It gives off subtle "it girl" vibes, with the perfect hint of color and smooth formula, it always leaves me feeling my best!
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
