CLINIQUE Vs 17 BOOTS

October 30, 2024

 

So,I may have just found us a dupe for the Clinique Black Honey Almost lipstick. 
I haven’t done one of these types of posts in years! In fact my whole blog started with me trying to find an Estée Lauder double wear dupe and 10 years later here we are! 
So today I’m bringing back a dupe find. This time it’s for he Clinique Black Honey Almost lipstick. 
This usually retails at £24.50 and 7 are sold globally every minute. It’s a brand cult favourite and I’m a little bit of a fan. (Saying that I do prefer the pink honey version but that’s beside the point!!!)
After trying this I was desperate to find a cheaper alternative as I do tend to get through a lot of lipsticks and it’s a bit spenny! 
So I haven’t bought Boots 17 makeup in years. But I stumbled across the stand and thought I would take a look. The product that I found was from the brands Tinted lip butter in the shade Deep Honey. It probably was the similar packaging and the name that made me take a second look.
It’s £3.50 which is a steal. I picked one up to try it out and thought as I have the Clinique original that I would do a side by side comparison.
Looking at the products together the Clinique one does look more impressive. The Clinique packaging (even if it does feel a little flimsy nowadays than what I remember) looks the part. The 17 version just looks the part from the lid upwards. The white base really lets it down here.
I do always say it’s what’s inside that counts and this rule is the same for these products. 


The 17 version is definitely worth a try if you are on a budget. Even though the finish isn’t quite the same. It feels comfortable on the lips and I found it to be longer lasting on my lips than the more expensive Clinique version.

Don’t be put off by the shade different! You really can’t tell when it’s swatched!

I’ve done a little side by side picture so you can see for yourself the colour difference.
I would definitely purchase the 17 version again and I’m now on the look out for the Pink Honey dupe. 

Until next time
