This is a gorgeous lip color. Its kind of a brownish pink with the slightest touch of red...still light and sheer. I was a little fooled by the package because it showed the product as being this light pinkish-nude and when you open the tube it is like a deep plum BUT....it goes on sheer and tastes great! I also like the fact that it is one-handed, so you can hold a mirror in one hand and open the lipstick with the other and not fumble around with a cap! I've never tried Clinique's Black Honey lipstick, but for some reason this reminds me of it. I don't think its quite as sheer as the Black Honey, though. Ok, well, all in all this is a great lipstick as far as color, taste, and the convenience of the packaging, this lipstick is a winner!!! :)
