I’m a sucker for black lip balms, so Finding Ferdinand has been stalking me on social media. In one of their ads they do a big comparison against Clinique’s Black Honey, noting that the temperature of the two is totally different. Black Honey is supposedly more brown and warmer, whereas Finding Ferdinand’s is a cooler, redder tone.
My mom got me the Finding Ferdinand balm for my birthday (thank you mom!) so I’ve been trying it — I really like it. I need to do a side by side comparison against Black Honey and a few other tinted lip balms I’ve got, but this one is one of my favorite new lippies.
(If I do update our older post on tinted lip balms, what else would you want to see in the mix? DiorAddict, NARS Afterglow, Black Honey… it feels like there are new ones every day. Just while looking this one up Amazon recommended this Honest Beauty balm that looks great.)
I will note that one swipe of it is a lot darker than Black Honey (as much as it can while still being a balm!) — but on me it’s kind of a perfect deep everyday reddish burgundy, so I’m not mad about it. The moisture level is OK — it could be a bit more moisturizing, but it isn’t drying like some of the balms are. All in all, I recommend!
The lip balm is under $20 at Amazon; for some reason it’s a bit more through the brand’s website.
