WHILE Clinique’s beauty buys are always raved about, they’re not the most affordable.
Luckily, a beauty influencer has found a dupe for one of the make-up brand’s most popular lippies.

TikTok user Debbie (beautyglowgirl) shared a perfect dupe for Clinique’s Black Honey Almost Lipstick, usually priced at £21.
Taking her followers on a trip to Boots, she picked up the ELF Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the shade Ecstatic.
“This £6 product in Boots is a viral dupe for the Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique,” Debbie said.
She then showed viewers how the two shades blended together seamlessly.
On one side of her lips she used the ELF product, and on the other used the Clinique lippy.
The beauty blogger gave her verdict and told fans the shades were “exactly the same.”
This means customers could save £15 by purchasing the ELF lip shine instead of the more expensive offering from Clinique.
However, the £6 shade is now sold out in loads of stores as fans rush to get their hands on it.
Viewers shared their frustrations in the replies that the product was out of stock.
One TikTok user commented: “Went to the Boots and Superdrug in my town and the girlies sold this out.”
Another who was also disappointed not to be able to pick up the product said: “Same.”
Someone else suggested another lipstick by the same brand which also worked as a lookalike.
They wrote: “Nope ELF black Cherry lipstick is the dupe. It’s sold out.”

Boots rave about both of the items on their website that are often sold out due to their popularity.
Describing the Clinique lipstick, they state: “Our transparent pigment merges with the unique, natural tone of your lips to create something yours alone. Sheer, glossy, lightweight.
“Black Honey is a Clinique classic. Not quite lipstick, not quite gloss—its texture is more like a balm you can easily layer.”

Talking about the cheaper rival, they say it is “infused with vitamin E” and add: “The hydrating core will surely make your heart skip a beat!”
ELF’s range is also entirely cruelty free and vegan.
