It’s been called the “black turtleneck” of lipsticks
I keep thinking that there will be a point when I stop using Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, and then it doesn’t happen. I buy other lipsticks all the time: I test them on my hand, and eventually on my lips using those little beauty-counter Q-tips, and I tell myself that I have, finally, moved on … but I always come back to that mysterious little silver tube that has kicked around the bottom of every handbag I’ve ever owned.
What even is black honey? And why does it look good on everyone? I remember someone telling me when it launched that it was meant to be the “black turtleneck” of lipsticks, but the meaning of that garment has evolved and the formula of the lipstick has not. It stains the lip a shade or two darker than nothing, it’s not waxy, and when it fades you’re never left in that weird, half-on phase that can lead to the impression that you’re a little bit drunk.
So now I just accept that Black Honey c’est moi: I buy endless tubes and stick them in all my purses, coat pockets, medicine cabinets, and desk drawers. Black honey is perfect — why mess with that?
