Pucker Up: The Perfect Shade For Just-Bitten Lips

Beauty writers, including myself, are guilty of over-using certain phrases when talking about products. Imagine how many pinky-red lipsticks are described as giving a "just-bitten lip look."

However, there's one that really, truly creates a gorgeous flush on lips. It's Clinique lipstick in Black Honey.

This isn't a new color. It's actually been a best seller for years. I'd go so far as to say it's a "cult classic" (yes, that's another over-used beauty term). What is new is that Black Honey now comes in a dual-ended stick -- one side is a sheer lipstick and the other is a gloss.

You may be questioning my judgement from looking at the above photo here. The color does look black. But, swipe it on like I did for this picture, and you'll see how the hue transforms into this juicy, translucent deep cherry.
