Of all the qualities a first-rate lip balm should possess, long-lasting hydration is a must. You don’t want to keep going through chapstick just to find the right balance between moisture and a vibrant tint. If you’ve been searching high and low for the right lip balm, don’t worry, we have you covered. CoverGirl features a lip balm that combines total moisture with a dash of color — and this $6 Amazon‘s Choice pick is getting a ton of love for being the perfect Clinique Black Honey alternative.

“Worth the hype as a lookalike for Clinique Black Honey,” wrote one shopper. “I wore that back in the day, so I thought it was worth a try. It really is similar and very easy to wear. I don’t wear makeup anymore at all, so a quick swipe of this balm and I have a bit of color, which is all I want.”

Not only is it a great affordable option for a pricier cult-fave, you’re going to love the way your lips look and feel thanks to CoverGirl’s Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm.

What are shoppers saying about this lip balm? Take a look at some of the glowing five-star reviews.

One shopper said this lip balm moisturizers their lips for up to “4-5 hours.” Another shopper said this tinted balm “goes on smooth and lasts for hours.”

Another wrote in their review that they bought this as a Black Honey alternative but stayed for the pigmentation. “Let me just say, I am a Chapstick fanatic. I have a tube of Burt’s Bees on me at all times, however, this has been my new go-to. The pigment of the Bliss You Berry is gorgeous,. The texture is between a lipstick and a Chapstick, making it glide on and stay on for long periods of time. It’s a fraction of the price as its high-end counterpart, Clinique Black Honey. Cannot recommend this enough!”

Lastly, one shopper noted, “Tinted lip balms are my preference now as I get older. This one is a decent, and not slippery, moisturizer. It also has good, but not overbearing, color. The color can be intensified by applying more.”
