This beautiful, wonderful "almost lipstick in ruby melt by Clinique" is a very sheer beautiful red that can be darker depending on how much you apply.It feels very comfortable on the lips, more glossy than lipstick-ey, but it is not heavy or sticky.This gloss leaves a small trace of mintiness on lips that is very nice.Black Honey is a wonderful color also.This is a great product, worth the price. When i run out, i will definitely be running back to the filenes counter!
