Honey Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm - Sheer Hydrating Lipstick for All Skin Tones - Moisturizing Lip Color, Nourishing Lip Balm with a Hint of Natural Black Cherry Tint

I splurged and bought the $25.00 original version of this lipstick a while back, and I do love it. But this "Two for $9.99" copycat is nearly indistinguishable from that fancy name brand version. See my photo and decide for yourself. The $4.50 copycat on the right is slightly more brownish and has a somewhat slicker texture than the $25.00 version on the left, which has a slightly drier texture, but somehow seems a little sheerer. None of that matters at all: put them on and they look exactly the same. Shine, texture, and color are the same. Staying power is the same. Both look great on all my friends who have tried them. Me - I will gladly save myself $41.00 and stick with this "twofer" copycat. In fact, I have just shopped around Amazon a bit and found a "2 for $7.98" deal from another seller. My guess is, that one will be exactly the same, too.

I got these because I was told they were a dupe for the Clinique black honey lipstick. I will say the color is great and very similar. It doesn't last overly long so if you're big on that you will have to reapply during the day. Personally I don't care about that. The tubing that the lipstick comes in feels light and cheap, but other than that I have no complaints. Again I got it for the dupe so I'm willing to overlook somethings for the savings.

Okay SO. A super honest review from a BH die hard....The things I like: I do enjoy this balm. It glides on smoothly and gives "corporate goth" vibes, which is totally my vibe. The hue makes your teeth look whiter just like Black Honey, and the price is great. Also, I love that I don't have to worry about losing this because it was a 2pack.Things I don't love: Personally I feel like this balm has way too much pigment. At least twice as much, so I can't apply too much of it or it just looks like a plum lip. I wouldn't call it buildable if you want that balmy look. The formula is also thinner so it's not super moisturizing imo. It's also more blackberry than what warm black honey tone. To make it a dupe, I apply a coral nude balm first, and put a little of this on top.I still like it, I still use it. But it could be improved if it's supposed to be a dupe.

This is BY FAR the most perfect dupe for the overpriced product we are all looking for a perfect dupe for. It is slightly less oily, a tiny bit more matte than The One, but the color is the closest I’ve ever come. I’ve tried at least six other dupes all of which were far too brown. I have cool tone coloring and my lips are naturally a kind of purple tone, which changes lot of lipsticks I try.I find the color to be enough in one swipe, and buildable to a similar degree as The One. I’ve included two pics. One with my naked lips with zero makeup, and one with a single swipe of this dupe.

I bought the pink and black two pack, and they have both become my new everyday lip products! The pink is a perfect "my lips but better" shade, the black is an extremely flattering berry color. The initial application wearable off pretty quickly, but the black in particular leaves behind a very flattering stain with no patchiness. Only minor nitpick is that I wish the tubes had a shade name or identifier on them, since they're both identical and I like to keep them both in my bag

I have used and loved the Clinique black honey since it first came out a million years ago. This is the best dupe you could possibly find in terms of texture, shine and concentration of pigment. In terms of color, this formula has a slightly less-red, more plum hue, that I think is an improvement as it makes it makes for a more natural lip hue. I've always been the no-makeup makeup type, and this lip stuff (not a lipstick, also not a gloss or a tint) is the best way to achieve very natural, flushed, plump lip. Also, it lasts quite a while on my lips, and when it wears off, it does so in a way that doesn't make it look like paint is flaking off your lips. Very moisturizing as well. I have bought multiples. It's the stuff you want in every bag, one for the office, one at your boyfriend's place, etc.

This is a near perfect dupe for Clinique's Black Honey. It doesn't feel quite the same, with a more slick consistency both going on and when on the lips. It doesn't last an incredibly long time, but that is true of the Black Honey as well, so it isn't really a negative as much as an observation. I feel like the color is nearly identical - this seems a bit darker on first application, looking more like Black Honey would look with a layered application. However, overall if you like Black Honey and want to have several of them scattered around your home and work, this is a great, less expensive option to get a very similar look.

Finally gave in to all the hype and I see why it’s so popular. Super cheap and it matches my skin tone exactly as I’m sure it does for everyone. It’s just enough to add a little color and some without looking like lipstick or being obvious. Definitely my new go to.
