After hearing amazing things about this Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, I was so dying to try it I snapped it up right away when I saw it in a GWP. Ultimately, however, I was disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, the formula was wonderful. The Almost Lipstick was more like a lip stain in a stick. It was buttery in texture and glided on beautifully, and although it was pigmented, the color was more of a thin veil than a glossy finish. The problem was the color Black Honey itself. It just didn't work out for me and turned a violet color on my lips. If you've seen one of those costumed drama wherein a victim had been poisoned and her lips turned a violet color, totally fake, of course, but whatever, that was what I looked like. No thanks.

I thought I was the only person who looked terrible in Black Honey! I gave it to my mom.
Hi vesperbeauty,
Not at all! I had really high hopes for it too! And neither my mom or my sister are into lipsticks so mine is still sitting there in my drawer :(
