If you're like me...

Then all you wear everyday is chapstick. In fact I have a tube of cherry chapstick in every singe one of my purses so I'm never without it. Well sometimes when I need to dress up, I need a little more than chapstick so I have some color. I tried the Cover Girl lipstains that Drew Barrymore wears in the ads and they didn't measure up. After a few other varied attempts I remember something I got in a Clinique bonus buy a few years back. So I promptly went online to see which department store Clinique counter would get me the best bonus buy. A few hours later I found myself at Nordstrom trying to find something else to add up to $25 so I could get my Trina Turk for Clinique bonus buy bag.

Back to the reason for the purchase - Clinique has an almost lipstick that is basically an ultra moisturizing tinted chapstick. The color is black honey. It sounds dark, but it goes on with a touch of color without being overpowering. Plenty of reviews bash the color saying it's too dark, but I find that it works great in the winter when my skin is pale, in the summer when my skin is tan and every other time in between.
