Spotted: Black Honey

I don't usually wear a lot of make up - usually just concealer, eye shadow, liner and mascara. I stay away from my face and RARELY touch my lips. On the rare occasion I do put on lipstick, it's a one-and-done thing and when it wears off, it doesn't make a return for weeks or months.

All that changed this week. For I discovered possibly the greatest lipstick ever.
Clinique's Black Honey is possibly the greatest almost lipstick I've ever seen. It's this purple black stain that goes on to become the prettiest, sheerest color - on ANYONE. I love that it's not as heavy as a lipstick and doesn't require me to put on lip liner, and it doesn't suffer the sticky fate of lip gloss (which I hate.)

Apparently this stuff has been around forever and is Clinique's most popular color, and I understand why. So if you haven't tried it yet, go out and get you some.

P.S. I also started wearing Clinique's Almost Makeup foundation to help even out my recently uneven skin tone. These are the joys you have to look forward to as you start getting older - le sigh.
