Clinique\u2019s Black Honey<\/a> is a cult classic in the beauty world – and for good reason.<\/p>\n

With a buttery formula and subtle wash of colour that looked like your lips but better, it’s been loved through the 70’s and even a recent viral wave.<\/p>\n

But while Black Honey might be a bit of a splurge at \u00a325, shoppers insist they\u2019ve found the ‘perfect dupe’ for less than a fiver at Boots<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The 17. Tinted Lip Butter Deep Honey <\/a>is \u00a34 and also has a buttery formula that\u2019s vegan, cruelty-free and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin. <\/p>\n

Boasting a balm\u2011meets\u2011colour finish, this affordable lip butter <\/a>leaves your pout feeling plump while adding a subtle splash of colour that’s perfect for everyday wear.<\/p>\n

Because who doesn’t love a lippy that feels like a balm? Comfort and colour in one? Sign us up.<\/p>\n

Better still, the 17. lipstick<\/a> is packed with jojoba seed oil to keep your lips hydrated and soft all day, as well as synthetic beeswax, which is a plant-derived alternative that mimics the protective benefits of natural beeswax to lock in moisture.<\/p>\n

And if we know anything about 17.<\/a>, an impressive budget brand at Boots, it’s that everything they put out on their shelves is absolute affordable gold.<\/p>\n

Shoppers seem to agree, too, with hoards of users leaving five-star reviews online for the purse-friendly ‘dupe’, raving of how it’s very similar to Clinique\u2019s Black Honey, only \u00a320 cheaper.<\/p>\n

TikTok reviewers say this pinker 17.Tinted Lip Butter is a dead ringer for the Clinique Almost Lipstick inPink Honey (Picture: Boots)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018This is very slightly less pigmented than black honey, but it is more hydrated and feels lighter on the lips,\u2019 one impressed reviewer wrote. \u2018It is an excellent product and a perfect dupe – save yourself some money!\u2019<\/p>\n

Another added: \u2018I have the original black honey from Clinique, but this one <\/a>is better. It is really smooth to apply and creamy.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Really love it, almost identical to the Clinique Black Honey Lipstick but much more hydrating.’ Raved a third,.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s an affordable dupe that delivers way beyond expectations. Super nourishing on the lips, and best of all, it doesn\u2019t bleed or feather. Gorgeous worn alone for a soft, juicy look, or layered as a sheer topper over lipstick for extra dimension. Total hidden gem!\u2019<\/p>\n

For just four quid, there’s very little not to love about this lippy.<\/p>\n
