Clinique's Limited-Edition Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is the brand's cult sheer lip colour in a crystal-coated silver case for the 2026 holiday season. It costs $29 at clinique.com in the US, where it went on sale by 5 October 2026. The bullet inside is the same shade 06 Black Honey that Clinique sells year-round.

Updated 13 October 2026: in stock at clinique.com (US). Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Clinique's holiday 2026 lineup also includes the Clinique 24 Days of Clinique Advent Calendar 2026. The Clinique Holiday 2026 Gift Sets cost $18 to $150 at clinique.com (US).

When Did the Clinique Limited-Edition Black Honey Almost Lipstick Launch?

Clinique hasn't announced an official release date. The product page first appeared on Clinique's US store on 5 October 2026 and was in stock when we checked on 13 October 2026. BeautyVelle covered the launch as part of Clinique's 2026 Christmas season releases and called it "Black Honey Diamond". Clinique's own name for it is "Limited-Edition Almost Lipstick in Black Honey".

Price

The limited edition costs $29 (US) at clinique.com. It shouldn't be confused with Clinique's permanent Almost Lipstick in Black Honey in the regular silver tube, which is listed at $25 on clinique.com. The two contain the same shade and formula. Clinique hasn't published UK, Canadian or European pricing for the limited edition.

Shade

There is one shade, 06 Black Honey. Clinique says it is "famous for its chameleon-like ability to flatter all skin tones yet look different on everyone." Clinique also states on its product imagery that Black Honey is the "#1 lip color shade in the US," citing Circana U.S. Prestige Beauty data for the 12 months ending June 2023.

Clinique's images include:

• the crystal case and box,
• a swatch card captioned "Looks incredible (and different) on everyone,"
• the shade swatched on three different skin tones,
• a model applying the lipstick.

The Black Honey shade appears across several other Clinique products this season:

• the Black Honey Collection Makeup Set ($99),
• the Black Honey Trio ($30),
• Color Rich Nail Polish in Black Honey ($18),
• High Impact High-Fi Full Volume Mascara in Black Honey ($30).

Both versions use the same Black Honey shade and formula. The limited edition changes only the case and box.

Where to Buy

• US: Clinique ($29). We did not find it at Ulta Beauty or Nordstrom.
• UK: Not yet confirmed. Clinique UK lists only the regular Black Honey Almost Lipstick.
• Canada: Not yet confirmed.
• Europe: Not yet confirmed.
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 13 October 2026: in stock at clinique.com (US). Not found at Ulta Beauty or Nordstrom. Not listed on Clinique UK.

What Makes the Limited-Edition Black Honey Almost Lipstick Different?

• It puts Clinique's permanent Black Honey shade and formula in a crystal-coated case that the brand describes as "designed to dazzle."
• It comes in a deep magenta floral "Limited Edition" box, while the permanent version comes in a regular silver tube.
• It is $29, compared with $25 for the permanent Almost Lipstick in Black Honey.

Formula and Packaging

• Almost Lipstick formula: According to Clinique, the formula is 95% conditioning ingredients. Its base includes castor seed oil, candelilla wax and carnauba wax. The brand says it is made without fragrance, parabens or phthalates. Clinique's launch copy, as quoted by BeautyVelle, describes the texture as "not quite lipstick, not quite gloss," closer to a layerable balm that gives a sheer, glossy slip of colour.
• Packaging: The bullet sits in a crystal-coated silver case and comes in a magenta floral box.

How to Wear It

Clinique says the formula is forgiving enough to apply without a mirror. For a deeper shade, the brand suggests adding more swipes. It can be worn alone or under or over other Clinique lip colours.
