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.

Doesn't Live Up to the Hype
black honey is extremely hyped up. i decided to buy nude honey & for the price i cant say that its worth it. nude honey looks like i ate spaghetti & it stained my lips, it looks nothing like the online swatches, its extremely unflatteting, i also had a friend try it & we are very different skin tones, it didnt show up on her lips at all. its also pretty oily & comes off by blinking. i could not recommend at all.
Only okay
I had high hopes for this "almost lipstick" and bought into the hype that it would be wonderful. It is only okay, slightly thicker than a traditional gloss, not as thick as traditional lipstick. The color on the lips is completely different than the product in the tube, slightly darker than nude but not much. It does impart a shine but little color. I purchased this lipstick during a sale, otherwise it is pretty pricey for what you get.
Beautiful product
As someone who prefers lipgloss over lipstick, I did like this almost-lipstick option. It's a beautiful sheer color that isn't matte or drying but gives a subtle glossy finish.
Not a fan
I'm not sure what the big deal is about this product except that it's made by clinique. Expensive, very sheer, dries quickly. Not very moisturizing.
Love it!!
Light yet faintly colorful. Not a bold color, just what I wanted! Great moisturized lipstick.
