So glad I ordered - IVY rocks!
My eyes are green in the center with a blue ring on the outside. One of my eyes is a prosthetic, recently fitted after my eye stopped working and was removed; it was injured many years ago and didn't look exactly like the right one. My prosthetic is so good no one can tell. Since I haven't worn eye ...

Beware Contact Lens Wearers
This is a great product. I love the intensity, ease of use and long-lasting wear. However, as a contact lens wearer, it took me some time to figure out what was wrong with my eyes. My vision was blurry and contact lenses cloudy to the point where I could barely see. As I wear the regular quickliner,...

Beautiful color but maybe just for pictures
I wanted to love this, i use clinique skincare and decided to give their makeup a try so i picked this up one day. The color is absolutely beautiful, its exactly what i wanted but wearinf it all day was horrible. I get its not a lipstick but if i take two sips from a water bottle, the majority of the color is gone. When i would apply some more to make up for that, it just got kinda clumpy and weird. I guess if you just wipe off competely and reapply completely it could work but i dont have time for that throughout my day. This would probably work well for a photo shoot or some kind of short term situation where you arent eating or drinking at all
Not at all like black honey texture
The pink honey version of this product was terrible. The color would not build up and was not noticeable as wearing any color. The wand was dry. My lips were dry and sticky 5 minutes later. If I couod give zero stars to the pink version I would. The black honey had an altogether different texture and was buildable - but too dark for me. This will go back to Ulta.
zShoes no pigment on my lips and emphasizes lines
I have the Almost Lipstick in black honey and love it, but pink honey doesn't show up on my lips except to highlight the lines on my lips. The texture felt different too. I am returning this immediately.
I love this Mascara, worthy!!
I love everything of this Mascara, the volume is amazing, and very natural, one of the best thing quite easy to remove, and does not let me looking like a Raccoon.
Big pass
I really dont know the hype of this . It has bearly any color it's not long lasting what so ever it gives a tiny tint to the lips i would rather save my money nothing impressive! I'll rather use a chap stick with a tint

- Q
Can a very fair skinned redhead with cool undertones wear the black honey shade or would it be too dark?
- Asked by Catherine
- Official Answer By Clinique USWhen it comes to Black Honey, one of the reasons it’s so iconic is that it’s designed to be universally flattering. The sheer formula adapts to your natural lip tone with the perfect blend of pigment to create your perfect shade. It's often a great place to start with its soft, buildable, and subtle wash of berry-like color! If you prefer a true neutral, check out Nude Honey. It gives the lips an enhanced nude tone without being too deep or too light.Was this answer helpful to you
