Almost Lipstick?


Have you ever looked at a lipstick and thought 'uh oh, that's way to scary looking for me to pull off?'

If no, then you're a bloody lucky girl, if yes then the initial first look of Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey will have you popping the cap back on quicker than you can say drag queen lookalike'. 



But wait before decide against it completely, because Clinique's Almost Lipstick (£17.50) is exactly that, almost a lipstick.  

It's much more of a tinted balm, in a very flattering universal red shade.  I've literally been wearing this everyday since I bought it, and it hasn't let me down yet.  I've also had people commenting on how healthy I look, and I do think it's attributed to the slick of perfect sheer colour this gives off.  

I've found it can be applied in three stages; once for a subtle little payoff of colour, twice for a more noticeable sheen, and a third time for more of a just bitten, darker colour. 



It's a brilliant handbag essential, as the packaging is compact, and also application is quick and easy.  It is both moisturising and non-sticky so the payoff is quite a natural one in terms of wear day-to-day, however as I mentioned it can be layered up for a bit of a more noticeable look. 

There is no stain left over from the product once it's worn down, as I possibly thought there would be and I did find that I had to reapply more often than I probably would have normally done but the moisturising gun element stays for a long while after the colour has rubbed off. 

Have you used anything from the Clinique Almost Lipstick range?
