Clinique Almost Lipstick Swatches

These sheer wash/gloss hybrids are extraordinarily difficult to swatch, but I’ve given them a go due to requests (yes, Miss Trimperley!). They are actually supposed to work in harmony with your natural lip colour, hence their transparency so I imagine the shades will look slightly different on everyone and there is not one true format colour. There are eight in the set (I only have five) and they launch nationwide (at House of Fraser now) in February at £16 each as part of the Almost Spring range.

    Lol! I’ve just taken my photos of these this morning… arm swatch fail!

    Wow you wrote the names on your arm. Many thanks for the swatches.

    Sorry about the goosebumps, hope you were wearing a vest.

  4. Hmm, launch in February? You might want to tell the Clinique counter, house of Fraser at Westfield that as I bought Spicy Honey there yesterday. It’s very pretty on, but I might need Chic Honey too…

    Oh Trimperley I’ve done lip swatches if thats any use to you, but the post won’t be up for a week ish…

  6. These look lovely. I own the Black Honey one and honestly, I never knew Clinique had all these shades as well. Shy Honey looks to be the best suited for me according to your swatch. Maybe I’ll get that for my birthday!

  7. Chic Honey looks good – even with goosebumps!

    Ohhh these are a lot sheerer on me, can’t get them to swatch AT ALL well. x

    Having found some testers I’m a bit underwhelmed. They are very sheer, well done getting such good swatches.
