    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.

    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.

    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 still keep this shade in my makeup arsenal both for sentimental and its perpetually flattering look no matter how tanned or “winter shade” my skin gets.

    Like many previous commentators I wore Black Honey initially in the 1970s.
    My newer more glamorous version is Givenchy Rouge Interdit Vinyl in Noir Revelator. It’s a beautiful formula for dry lips and much closer to the colour and texture of the original Clinique Black Honey💜❤️🖤

    My favorite dupe for the black honey color but with a better texture and moisturization is Lanolips balm in Spice, it's excellent!

    Another good sheer lip product somewhat similar in shade that I love is the Revlon Kiss balms in Berry Burst. It's more sheer than the Elf but it gives that really nice hint of dark berry. And it's very moisturizing on the lips.

    Clinique’s Black Honey lipstick was my first “fancy” (i.e not drug store) make up purchase, back in the mid nineties. I loved it then. I still love it. I think it looks good on EVERYBODY! I would definitely recommend it to every young lady starting out with makeup.

    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.

  • @michmash7888

    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.

It feels so moisturizing on the lips and you can build it to a pretty nice color. I wanted to add that Pacifica has a lip balm called Sugared Fig that is very similar to BB's RD. I have this one as well. It smells super delicious and the ingredients are probably better. Surprised to find it on Ulta for only $5.00!
