Aren’t “Dupes” supposed to be the cheaper version of? How is Dior a dupe? 🙄

[@agataloca]

@@tonysopranosduck416 No, a dupe is either short for "duplicate" or used w/ the word's actual definition -- that one could be tricked to believe it's the same, as in exact matches of something. Pricing has got nothing to do w/ it. Check f ex temptalia's extensive dupe section.

I'm 41 and Black Honey was the first non drugstore lip product for the majority of girls in my high school, me included. The Almost Lipstick in Black Honey and the ubiquitous green pressed powder compact was in many girls' purses because a trip to the Clinique counter at the mall was a 15th/16th bday gift for most of us.

Black Honey is what Liv Tyler wore as Arwen in the Lord of the Rings series! I had a tube a long time ago and due to its resurgence in popularity, I have been trying to get my hands on it again.

Black Honey is the only lipstick I have repurchased multiple times. It has been in my collection since I started wearing makeup and I always made sure to purchase a backup before opening a new tube. My lips are more of a deep pigment and it was difficult to dip my toe into lipstick when I wanted something easy, light, for everyday use and this was on product. Especially when at the time I was living on a humid, summer all the time, island; I didn't want something I was worried about smudging with sweat.

They were $5 back then. Also Revlon Blackberry is iconic. My sister wore it in her wedding in 1998 but it was around long before then. I have a few of those in my bag as well. It's amazing what remains iconic. Thank you, Matilda.

My grandma gave me a sample of this when I first started getting interested in wearing lipstick as a teen. My mom noticed it and asked what I was wearing and I showed her the sample tube.

[@bobbies1562]

I have both a pot and a tube of Clinique Black Honey. Not sure what the hype is about, because I never loved the shade or the formulas. I always found Clinique's glosses in general to be too sticky for my taste, and they used to give Black Honey away with purchase all the time. I just don't get it. Can someone enlighten me, please? Prescriptives formulas were a different story: perfect in every way.

[@littlewingedzebra]

Burt's Bees lip shimmer in *plum* is closer to red dahlia and black honey, and Revlon's rum raisin is relatively close. what I desperately miss was the best (and even better, texture-wise) dupe, Revlon's lip butter in fig jam. I wish they'd bring those back!

[@matildaonvideo]

Interesting, thanks for sharing! 👍 I hadn't seen those shades in my dupes research. Someone else mentioned Fig Jam, it sounded lovely! x

[@auroragonzalez23]

Rum raisin is so good

[@cubbylevi1764]

I’ve worn Burt’s Bees fig for so many years, but the most recent formulations in the various colored tubes are different. They made it a bit more matte and more red. 😣 I’m going to try plum. I have lip butter in fig jam but it’s quite dark and more opaque. How I wish they’d bring back lip butters. I loved pink truffle, but the current pink truffle has little similarity and hardly shows on the lips. I also have the Revlon shine rum raisin and it’s got more pink. I loved this video. So many options. Love chubby sticks and plan to get richest raisin next.

[@LightingJedi]

I had the original black honey in the early 90’s used it to the end .. then fashion changed & it was abandoned in my drawer. I can’t believe it’s made such a huge comeback after decades .. 💋 I think the secret of its appeal is it suits all skin colours and all natural lip pigmentations .. effortlessly glides on & enhances your natural beauty

[@brandiefraser8822]

Clinique Richer Raisin is definitely a gorgeous alternative if you must have the actual Black Honey shade. I wasn’t a fan of the Nivea formula but the Burt Bees is a good drugstore option. I also heard the Dr Pepper Lipsmackers was a dupe too. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've heard people rave about black honey for years and haven't tried it myself. I HAVE tried the Nivea Blackberry and LOVE IT! And, after watching your review I think the fact that it is less brown it would suit my completion better. Sooo soothing on the lips... it's even replaced my Fresh Sugar Tint (I know it's a different colour) Poppy as my current go to lip.

I've bought black honey recently and i FELL in love. I have read many negative reviews about it not lasting long, not coloring people's lips well etc. But honestly, it works like a charm for me. I have never been able to wear a lipstick before because i never liked the way they looked on me so lip balms were always my go-to. Black honey is my favorite one so far. I am using it literally every day if i have to go out. It makes me feel so natural, it looks natural but it doesn't make me look like i didn't put any thought into my looks like some other lip balms, and it lasts just fine. %100 recommended if you like the natural look!

[@inui5488]

I have black honey and I love it. My most favorite look on the lips is when they are slightly tinted with a red/berry/mauve color..I just adore the look of it.

Love to see that list on your blog updated if you find more. I actually just picked up one of the elf dupes for black honey the other day myself, the lip oil core in ecstatic. I found it leaned more berry, not enough red to get a really close look for black honey and not very flattering on me but I enjoyed the formula. It’s very sheer and comfortable. One of those lipsticks that you don’t mind reapplying even if it doesn’t last all day because of the feel. As always lovely video, always a pleasure to see your clean informative edits and lovely swatches. the overlays of the names on the swatches is so helpful for a recap at the end!

My mom always had black honey on when I was growing up, and it was the first lipstick I ever wore. I love it for looks that I don’t really want a lot of lip color for, and I love that I can build it for a more dramatic effect.

[@AwakingOceanborn]

I’m so happy I watched this video. I’ve always wanted Black Honey but this type of “berry-adjacent” (I’m sorry I’m terrible with colours) stained sheer lipsticks always look fuchsia on me and this particular one is outrageously prized in my country (for being a tiny thin bullet of sheer colour I mean) so I just didn’t dare. I made do dabbing a smidge of opaque matte vampy lipstick like Velvet Midnight on and then sometimes using some lip balm on top, looks very nice yes, but sometimes I don’t want to fuss so much. I honestly had no idea that Lisa Eldridge Painterly, which I own and adore and doesn’t go fuchsia bright on me would swatch so similarly, it isn’t the same magical effect when the bullet looks almost black, and I still want one that has more purple because why not look like I’ve been eating poisonous berries if I can, but I’m so glad! … I might also have just put an order for thr VBB Bisou stain.

i’m have very fair skin and don’t wear super heavy make up just bold ish eyeliner, but OMG i found the last one hidden in the back of the rack in the biggest ‘boots’ store in my area and it was so worth it!!! It’s helped me dive into bolder lip shades with its build ability that really suit me and it has such a lovely consistency

[@matildaonvideo]

What a find! So satisfying scooping up the last product on a display 👏 x

I remember black honey from reading Allure and Glamour UK magazines I saved my pocket money for. I would always beg my mom for a tube but she always said it looked too vampy (in the tube) and it was just a lip balm haha. Not worth the money ($$$ in the Philippines) now I think my closest dupe is Revlon glass shine in toasting glasses which looks like a taupe brown berry. Loved this video Matilda!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you for sharing your Black Honey history Yola 😄🖤 I loved collecting magazines when I was young too... I probably saw this shade without realising! x

[@user-hj3sj2bc1r]

This video is very well done, your voice is so relaxing too!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! Really appreciate that ☺️ x

[@valentinaspadini5506]

The blackhoney dupe I usually wear is Apivita Lip Care Chestnut. It's not mauvey/rosey enough to be considered a proper blackhoney dupe, it's a warm browney lip balm, but I love it so much that I can almost forget blackhoney.

[@JennLeeFoster]

I’ve been wearing black honey for at least 25 years. I love it.

[@sray1144]

You’re the best person to do that kind of video! I stopped myself from buying the Dior lip glow in mahogany during the Sephora sale but you make it very hard to resist any longer! Might be a gift from me to me for Christmas…

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! This was so fun to make 😄🖤 I'll be working on part two (maybe three)! x

[@ceribrown5798]

I adore Black Honey and have been using it for over 20 years - but as of last year I’m committed to only buying cruelty free brands so really excited to try Bobbi Brown’s Blackberry xxx

[@matildaonvideo]

More Bobbi Brown suggestions coming in the next video on this theme Ceri! 😉💄 x

[@heidiq2777]

I've been using Black Honey since the 80's, but am always looking for a similar color thats more moisturizing for my dry lips ( the Almost Lipstick has none!) So far the ELF cosmetics color mentioned has my vote, but I look forward to trying the Dior Mahogany.

[@matildaonvideo]

Good luck on your similar colour search Heidi! I'll be back with more suggestions in the new year 😄👍 x

[@skeletrix_]

New subscriber! I have pale skin with undertones just off of cool olive and finding lipsticks without a white base is the base of my existence. Sheer berries and chocolates suit me much better and I am so excited to dive into your other content!

[@euclioestsenexsum]

I always love Matilda's recommendations since I love makeup but I'm not always keen on makeup that can come across as quite heavy. Definitely found some of my favourites through her. ♥

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Tianna, so nice to hear that! ☺️ x

[@kit7647]

The Fuller Fig chubby stick from Clinique has been my go-to for years. Beautiful color. Love that this unique shade is getting popular again.

[@matildaonvideo]

Love that colour too Kit! ☺️ x

[@roxypicasso66]

i really appreciate the wide price range of the dupes.. it’s nice to see dior and burt’s bees in the same video LOL

[@matildaonvideo]

Gotta love having high/low balm options! 🖤🍯 x

[@michmash7888]

Here are some black honey look-Similars from the NYX butter glosses lineup…they are affordable and are really soothing on the lips! I am quite pale and very cool-toned, so Cranberry Pie (BL641) gives me the best beautiful black-honey feel. If your coloring is more neutral, Rocky Road (BLG39) or the bolder Devil’s Food Cake (BL622) might be better choices. (I still wear them , but it depends on the rest of my look.). I enjoy them all!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you for the suggestions! ☺️ x

Me, who has half of these : Hmmm maybe Mom had a point when she said I had the same colour. Wonderful video as always, Matilda, these videos are keeping me safe during Mid-week !!!

[@matildaonvideo]

At least you're consistent Nuzhat! 😄🖤 x

[@pwallace5359]

I have always loved that sort of black honey color. Back in high school 1988 my Mom used to buy me an Avon lip product named Slick Tints. They were thin and balmy and had beautiful deep colors very similar to back honey. This was before back honey even came out but my Mom loved them. I have bought so many similar products through the years.

[@annamacm4063]

I would occasionally buy black honey back in the late 80s, but it actually looks a bit too brown against my cool and rosy complexion .. The lipstick that did the perfect job for me back then was Max Factor’s Transparent Burgundy. I dabbed it on and it was the perfect just-bitten MLBB. It’s been discontinued for years and I’ve never been able to find a shade as perfect… The quest continues…

[@matildaonvideo]

Ooh I love the sound of that colour Anna! Why do our 'perfect' shades always end up being discontinued 😭 x

[@teadivamuse]

Texture-wise, Surratt Lipslique is close to BH. I prefer Surratt as it lasts a bit longer and bit more pigmented. Pecadille and Au Courant have a similar vibe but my favorite shade is the lighter Eglantine, described as a berry beige.

[@matildaonvideo]

Ooh thank you for sharing, that formula sounds lovely! 😍 x

[@areyns67]

I love Clinique lip sticks! This has been a staple in my make up cabinet since it first came out. I don't allow myself to run out of this HG product. I'm so glad you did this video since I love this color and now have other options. Gonna have to get the Bobby Brown one now.

[@swilliams9511]

Great video! How does Black Honey look on deeper skin tones? Or melanated lips? I’m interested

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! Sorry for the very late reply here - I'm not a makeup artist so I can't speak for women of colour and their experience with this product, but I've seen photos where it still creates a bit of a boost on melanated lips! I'm sure you'll find other wonderful creators wearing Black Honey on different skin tones 🖤🍯 x

[@lorischroed]

My all time favorite lipstick. I have been wearing this for over 20 years and always have three tubes. One for my vanity , one for my purse and one in my vanity drawer as a back up. I had no idea there was a shortage! I have a tiny lipstick brush that I use to get down into the tube to get every last bit left when it's worn down. And it truly looks good on every skin tone.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thanks for sharing Lori! Love hearing that you always have a trio of Black Honey on hand 😄🖤 x

[@Sea_witch_]

I remember having out of nowhere (probably snatched it from my mom's box of ex-balms) a mint-green thin case lip balm that was a true black honey tone, it was the most beautiful sheer color for 17-20 year old me, i kept it for that long, took it everywhere, it even looked gorgeous post-crying lol. I never knew the name or brand, it had none, even the smell was like honey. I miss it, it got lost on a punk concert back then.

[@cristinar1320]

I love Black Honey but hate that it's not cruelty free so finding a good dupe was important but difficult!! I do really like Honest beauty tinted balm in plum drop.

[@matildaonvideo]

The Glossier, Undone Beauty and Lisa Eldridge options in this video are cruelty-free 💄 I'll have to check out that Honest Beauty shade, thank you! x

[@miea34]

Your colour descriptions are so good, like you point out the differences i can see but can't name!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you so much Nia! I always try my best to come up with different ways to describe shades ☺️🖤 x

[@krystallights1325]

Fun fact: this is the color Liv Tyler wore in the Lord of the rings movies! That's why this color got viral on TikTok!

[@teeeuhhhh]

I literally came here to say this. 🤣

[@roz6663]

While it's not a balm but a gloss, I've realised that the Pixi Beauty Lip Lift Max in the shade Sheer Rose matches Black Honey quite well. I just swatched it on my hand after watching this and it's a good match IMO. Plus it has a minty scent and isn't sticky like some glosses are.

Eeeek I clicked so fast on this! One of my all-time favorite lipsticks, thank goodness I still have a ton left in my tube right now. It’s probably one of the only lipsticks I’ve completely used up and repurchased multiple times!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Natalie! Glad you're a big Black Honey fan 🖤🍯 x

[@Jess-od5bo]

A sheer lipstick I bought recently which I think has some similarities (though may be slightly more purple) is the Origins sheer lipstick in Night Bloom. It’s a new favourite of mine

[@MariaSolvesProblems]

I love this video! I tried the Clinique one loving the shade but couldn’t get on board with the formula (it looked patchy on my and felt too waxy). So I’ve been searching for the other family members 😆 I will add to the list the lip tint/oil from the Uoma By Sharon C line (the Walmart one) in the shade ‘Miss Chief’. 🥰

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Maria! Appreciate the suggestion, I'd been interested to try more from UOMA ☺️👍 x
