One of Clinique's newest additions is the line of Almost Lipstick's,
they offer glossy, non-staining light coverage with a shine finish and a dose of moisture.
They come sleekly packaged in chrome slim long line silver packaging
that feels as luxurious as it looks!

Lovely Honey appears to be a deep plum shade in bullet form
yet applied it is a light brown shade with a slight pink tone.
It looks extremely natural on the lips 
and slots nicely into the my lips but better category.  


As earlier mentioned these are not aimed to be pigmented
but their purpose is to deliver a hint of a tint with a glossy finish.
Basically these are very much tinted lip balms but without all the fuss or mess.
I find potted lip balms to bleed and be a nuisance to apply but as these are in lip stick form
they are super easy to apply and with precision too!
They feel light and comfortable to wear non - sticky and hydrating.
Some shades are of course more pigmented than others but generally speaking they
don't deliver a massive dose of colour so you may want to layer it over another lip shade.
In terms of wear I achieved around 2 hours before the gloss and hint of colour faded.


If you like tinted lip balm type products but wish they were more controllable,
this is a product you should investigate as it ticks every box!
It is also lovely for those days you want to achieve a polished look with minimal effort
such as hot balmy days in the summer when full on lipstick just feels a little too much!

** On a side note I have had a few requests about the Black Honey range,
I shall hopefully pick those up this week so keep your eyes peeled!**
