Fast interlude: Do you know that there’s really a third shade within the Virtually Lipstick household? Yeah, I didn’t both, nevertheless it’s referred to as Pink Honey, and I found it whereas testing and penning this evaluation…after which instantly fell in love. The shade, which initially launched in 2015 as a limited-edition hue in assist of the Breast Most cancers Analysis Basis, hit the market completely in 2023. Nice information for me, as a result of I are likely to gravitate towards rosy shades that lean extra nude quite than a real pink, and Pink Honey occurs to be simply that. My lips are already a tender pink shade, so I like to reinforce that hue versus punching it as much as brighter ranges.
All this to say, I in all probability wasn’t the very best particular person to put in writing this evaluation (figuring out I don’t put on lipstick nor attain for brown and/or berry shades), however I’m glad I did as a result of I rediscovered my love for the Virtually Lipstick components. It’s tremendous buildable (within the photograph above I’m carrying three layers of Nude Honey), stays shiny for hours (or no less than by way of a number of workplace drinks: morning oat milk latte and lunchtime Eating regimen Coke), and is available in a modern, silver tube that’s so slim it may simply match into any bag, for any event.

When evaluating Nude Honey to the 2 different Virtually Lipstick shades, it’s undoubtedly darker and deeper than Pink Honey (duh), however eerily just like Black Honey. The distinction, on my lips, is that Nude Honey leans extra brick pink than Black Honey’s berry. Each are nice… simply not my shade choice. I’m going to have to stay with Pink Honey. I’m now obsessed!
