THANKS to TikTok, it seems some of our favourite products are permanently sold out. 

Thankfully one savvy shopper has found the perfect dupe for the viral Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick.

In one of her recent videos, the dupe hunter shares her latest find – the e.l.f. Hydrating Core Lip Shine. 

She claims it’s the perfect dupe for the popular Clinique lipstick – and it’ll save you £!5.

Although not all were convinced, with one commenting: “It’s really not a dupe. I’ve been wearing Black Honey for 20 years & the Elf one feels & behaves nothing like it.” 

Another said: “ope ELF black Cherry lipstick is the dupe. It’s sold out.” 

The savvy shopper replied: “That’s also a dupe but it’s sold out…as you can see in the video where I use this on one side and black honey on the other this is also the same!”
