Affordable Mother’s Day gift? This Clinique Almost Lipstick is the balm
New York Post

If you didn’t know, Mother’s Day is on the horizon, and yours deserves something from you beyond a foot rub. This Mother’s Day, skip the over-complicated gift sets and give her something she will use every single day and only costs you $25. Meet the Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm.

My friend gave this to me as a hostess gift, and I instantly fell in love. As someone who carries Chapstick everywhere I go, this quickly became my new favorite obsession. It’s the kind of product you reach for on the go. It also lasts longer than flowers!

Because it applies sheer, there are no harsh lines to worry about and no need for precision. It’s the kind of product she can swipe on while walking out the door or sitting in the car, instantly making her lips look naturally better without the fuss of a traditional lipstick.

Not quite lipstick and not quite gloss, this cult-favorite formula feels more like a tinted lip balm you can layer. The emollient-rich sheer color glides on smoothly, delivering a soft-shine finish that enhances your lips without feeling heavy or sticky.

Comes in three shades: Black Honey Almost Lipstick, Nude Honey Almost Lipstick, Pink Honey Almost Lipstick. Note, Nude Honey Almost Lipstick does not arrive before Christmas, but the other two will.
