I’m 66 years old. I first bought Black Honey when I was 18. Back then it came in a little green glass pot and you had to apply it with fingers. I thought I was so chic for buying Clinique makeup. 😅 It’s a beautiful, earthy red, an almost universal shade. I’m glad Clinique has kept it in their product line.

[@danica4542]

I worked for Clinique for 4 years as a PC. Every mall and store that I worked I got to meet women that have used Clinique for years. They all absolutely loved Black Honey.

[@carols.4252]

I’m in my 60’s. This was OUR version of a nude lip in the seventies and eighties. Today it would be considered more red than nude. But it was sheer and an earthy tone and even the natural girls wore it. It was not the violets and browns we wore to dress up. No one wore pastel pinks or beiges then. Those were shades our older aunts wore in the sixties. Now comparable products a dime a dozen. The Nivea tinted balm in Blackberry is another product in this category. The Almost Lipsticks ( back then there was more than one shade) and the Lancôme Le Stylo were considered so cool and innovative because they were slim tubes you could imagine sliding into your jeans pocket. This was not our mothers’ clunky chunky bulky tubes.

[@melissabridge5687]

I had a slim silver cased, stick by channel when I was 15 or 16. Saved my money to bye it. It was a sheer plum violet color in silver tube. Everyone had it. I'm now 55😍

[@kidrn4u]

I went to an all-girls high school back in the early 90’s in Manila, Philippines and make up was absolutely forbidden. But this was the shade we used to give us a hint of color and perk up the face.

I’ve been trying to dupe this for literally decades…Clinique has tried discontinuing it several times over the years! I’m glad the younger folks are bringing it back in fashion! A few dupes (or dupe adjacent) in my collection: Revlon’s Shine lipstick in Rum Raisin is very, very close (Black Cherry might be close depending on your natural lip color) NYX Butter Gloss in Rocky Road (Cranberry Pie and Devil’s Food cake are close but a little less brown) Burt’s Bees Fig Lip Shimmer (very, very similar color, but has some shimmer. I like it a lot, actually.) Discontinued, but if you still have it around: Revlon Lip Butter in Fig Jam (very, very close) and Wet and Wild Balm Stain in Truffle in Paradise (applied with a light hand/blotted) Clearly, I have plenty of Black Honey-esque products for now (plus a slightly used tube of the real stuff)…but if I see some of these other ones around (especially if they go on sale!) I might just have to get back ups for my back ups. LOL.

I just bought a mini size of Clinique Black Honey. I definitely agree it’s quite stiff compared to a lip balm and doesn’t melt. And the pigment definitely sticks to the dry parts and crevices of the lips. BUT the color on me is unlike any I’ve ever seen. My complexion pulls out warm and cool tones so even “neutrals” tend to lean one way or another… so for this color to not lean super red or super brown or super purple on me is astonishing. It’s just a really balanced natural color. I just need to make sure I exfoliate and moisturize before I put it on. Which is kind of fussy, but the color is unlike anything I’ve tried.

I've been a longtime fan of black honey. It's been my favorite "nude" lipstick for 25+ years. Seeing the Burt's Bees lip balm reminded me of the old Bonne Belle Dr. Pepper lip balm, which had a similar tone as black honey. That was my go-to for years as well and I know several women who were very sad when it was discontinued.

i got some Bonne Bell Dr Pepper recently on Amazon. Actually they call it lip smacker (without the Bonne Bell part) but it’s the identical item i’ve used since the 70s

[@mindygooding9458]

The Dr. Pepper lip smacker was the only one that left a little color on your lips. I remember I had one of the big sized ones.

i really like this review i have the same stance on the product in that i really am not a fan of the texture it creates on my lips so i was glad to see somebody who prefers a smoother looking lip product.

I love the colors you sampled. It’s the only lip colors I really use. Thank you. This was a wonderful enjoyable video.

Another possible dupe to try is Mineral Fusion Sheer Moisture Lip Tint in the shade Adorn. Nice brownish red and a very moisturizing formula. Cruelty free as well!

Hehe I bought black Cherry as a dupe and I love it 🥰

[@JLeigh75309]

I've never loved opaque lip products - I loved that old clinique formula!

[@bums009]

This was SUCH a helpful video, thank you. I remember hearing about clinique black honey in the early 2000s when I first started getting into makeup, but I never bought it. Could never afford it when I was younger and my mother was never into makeup. I did try it out at a makeup counter once, I liked it but I couldn't justify the price. I've watched dupe videos about black honey before but I never felt like they got the shade and tone right, you did such a good job with that, I will be referring back to this video the next time I shop for a lip lol.

Red dahlia is my favorite lip balm ever ! The color is so nice and unique

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I used to love the Lip Smackers Dr. Pepper lip balm- until they changed the formula. It has barely any pigment now.

[@kpope7007]

Hi Amanda! This is Susan’s mom (from Forest Hill). Your video just popped up on my feed. I’ll be watching more!

[@AmandaZ]

Hi!! Thank you so much 😊 hope you guys are doing well

[@Alex-gu2ws]

Clinique Black Honey today only lasts for about 5 minutes, and it’s not cheap either. I like your video.

[@emmamarzim7131]

You look so much like Cara Delevingne! Thanks for the video, it was super helpful :)
