Clinique's Black Honey is only $15 during Ulta's Lipstick Week sale
In the six months I've been working here, I've sung the praises of Clinique's Black Honey lipstick so many times that my coworkers must think I'm an undercover Clinique spokesperson (I'm not, but feel free to give me a call if you're reading this, Clinique).

43 Products For Self-Professed "Budget Queens"
Maybelline Lifter Glaze Oil Balm to give you an oh-so-smooth, moisturizing shine and fuller lip look, thanks to its hydrating oil blend and hyaluronic acid. Bonus: reviewers claim that the "Acai Glaze" shade is a perfect match for the $25 internet-beloved Clinique Black Honey "universal" shade that has taken the beauty world by storm! A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips, like the $45 Crest White Strips. This will get results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. A 3-in-1 charging cord to juice up your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. (It's giving witchcraft??) This just solved all your "welp, everything's dying and there's only one outlet in this car/on this flight/in this teensy hotel room" problems for good. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream your skin will be SO happy to soak up — this is formulated with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil to help hydrate, tighten, and gently exfoliate your skin so effectively that you should be able to see early results in two weeks. Reviewers especially love how affordable this is compared to creams that often cost three times this $12 price tag (or more)! A set of sophisticated cylindrical wineglasses to rival Crate & Barrel's, and to elevate your Friday wine-cheese-and-Netflix nights so instantaneously that you'll feel like an extra in one of those Shows About Rich Families Who Fight All The Time. A curl-defining brush designed for all curl types with ridges on the side to help evenly divide hair and gentle, strategically-placed bristles for more defined, frizz-free curls. Reviewers compare this to the $30 EdgeLift version! A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding (*without* the $30 Olaplex price tag). All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. A delightfully affordable instant foot peeling spray for anyone ready to go full YEEHAW!! on a pedicure, without the big salon price tag. This not only helps gently remove dead skin, but moisturizes dry and cracked heels, so you'll really get some refreshing bang for your buck. A limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality. Lip care that will also taste like you're perpetually eating a s'more for less than $5?? My friends, life is good. A cult-favorite Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball reviewers compare to the pricey Sol de Janeiro version. 👀☀️ This is from TikTok-famous small business brand Kuumba Made, known for its luxury scents at ridiculously affordable prices, so you know they're on their game — reviewers especially love how ~beachy~ and long-lasting this sweet but elevated fragrance feels and how nicely it plays with other scents! Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will be your holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes when your summer schedule is throwing you for a loop. This lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference — one that a lot of reviewers compare to the $33 Becca version. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal countless TikTokers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse to show the humidity who's boss. This is designed for all hair types to give you satisfyingly hydrated, volumized, frizz-free curls at a FRACTION of the price of its competitors. A set of biodegradable ultra-soft face towels inspired by the much pricier Clean Skin Club version — a lot of folks with sensitive skin and acne *swear* by these, particularly because it helps prevent exposing their skin to bacteria that may collect in ordinary reusable towels. A clothes-saving "spray and go" enzyme-based laundry stain remover — all you will have to do is spray the offending spot, rub it into the fabric, and leave it in your hamper until the next wash. It'll get the stain out during the washer cycle with NO other effort from you, and works on everything from discolored dried sweat to oil stains to grass stains to mud. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's $90 Santal 33 version, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it. If you're in the market for a signature scent for your space this fall, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend. L'Oreal Paris Faux Brow that will fill in brows with such a natural, hair-like formula that it's the ultimate in "no makeup makeup" for your brows. Reviewers also appreciate that it's super user-friendly and comes at a much lower price point than its competitors! A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~! An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running — especially since it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the usual $68 version. This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat. A set of golden bracelets that will give ~quiet luxury~ vibes at "I want to pay rent this month" prices. Reviewers especially love these mix-and-match sets because they look like expensive versions from Cartier — the middle one is giving the $8,000 "Juste Un Clou" and the studded one is giving the $6,000 "Love Bracelet!" An easy-to-apply one-hour (!!) self-tanner so much cheaper and more effective than its competitors (like the $46 St. Tropez) that your medicine cabinet will laugh at the old versions you used. This vegan blend is easy for beginners to use without streaking or uneven patches, and although the tan is instant, the fade is nice and gradual. A Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint reviewers compare to Charlotte Tilbury's $35 Pillow Talk and Nars' $22 Velvet Lip Glide. This one gets bonus points for the softness of the matte color, how buildable and long-lasting it is, and how it doesn't crack or leave skin feeling dry. A pair of pretty pastel wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like the $399 AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes (and a much cheaper alternative to the viral $26 Blinc version). This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey $40 Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser will remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and will leave skin moisturized after use. A set of Victoria's Secret–inspired seamless "invisible" underwear so soft and stretchy your butt will want to *sing* when you slide them on. This is a true holy grail underwear that doesn't show, doesn't ride up, and somehow manages to look cute all at the same time. Dr Teal's "Hawaiian Bliss" Epsom salt magnesium soak, a ~limited edition~ blend of red sea salt, papaya, and hibiscus, reviewers are so in love with that a ton of them are buying extra bags (or literally hoarding them) before the brand runs out. One reviewer went so far as to call it "heaven in a bag!" A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag so easy to use that all you have to do is stick your clothes inside, zip up the bag, roll the bag, and watch all the excess air get squished out of them until your clothes magically shrink. BOOM, suddenly everything fits in one carry-on and you've saved a chunk of change! A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one? E.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint, the $5 answer to the beloved $26 Benetint that will do just as brilliant a job, despite costing five times less. This flush of pigment for your lips and cheeks is perfect for those lightweight, "no makeup makeup" looks that will be especially key on days when the sun is showing no mercy. Oxo's compact Cold Brew Rapid Brewer to make cheap, delicious cold brew in FIVE MINUTES (!!) with results so quick and delicious that reviewers love it more than their beloved Aeropresses (and even call it "Aeropress 2.0"). Not only is it faster than comparable models, but it's cheaper, entirely portable, and doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯 You're going to be swimming in a RIVER of delicious, affordable cold brew with this gizmo. Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage. Those summer days when the sweat has your roots drooping like a sad flower are OVER. A set of super affordable hydrocolloid nose pore patches (compare to the $16 Mighty Patch equivalent) that will make you go "boy HOWDY" when you see how much gunk collects on them overnight. Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance! A pair of high-waisted "Secretsculpt" biker shorts with some real booty-lifting action (AND NO FRONT SEAM!!) that will have you admiring your reflection in shop windows all summer long. Psst — reviewers compare these to the WAY more expensive $64 Lululemon Align shorts, and these come in a whopping 11 colors!! An affordable sleeveless exercise romper you will be SO glad you bought on days when the sun is trying to bake you like cookie dough. These are medium-compressive, soft, breezy, and SUPER easy to throw on when your brain is too fried to match a top and a bottom in the heat. Bonus — these are comparable to Aerie, Abercrombie, and Hollister versions that can go for three times this price! A Lululemon-inspired mini wristlet wallet set that looks just like their $50 version, and also easily holds cash, cards, and lip balms, so you don't have to deal with the whole muss and fuss of a purse if you're going on a walk around the neighborhood. Plus, you know what they say — keep your friends close and your beloved lippies closer. An Anthropologie-inspired reversible quilted throw blanket you can get in all kinds of fun, lively prints that will startle your boring couch into having a personality, or give your bed a *much* needed reset after a rainy, dreary spring. L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist so darn phenomenal at its job that one reviewer calls it "hairspray for your face," and several compare it to the $34 One/Size setting spray at triple the price. This ultra-fine formula will spray on lightly and leave a natural finish, but just one spray is designed to LOCK IN your look for 36 hours. An effortlessly chic, surprisingly roomy woven straw summer purse designed to look like $100+ woven purses from Staud or Revolve that are taking this year by storm. A set of lightweight, oh-so-dainty ruffled pajamas inspired by the $89 Piyama version. Revievers are in loooove with this set for summer, saying the fabric is so high quality that it feels like linen. If you're looking for breezy warm weather loungewear, this adorable set fits the bill! A multipurpose blush stick reviewers compare to the $18 Pixi Beauty version — this version may be cheaper, but it's also easily buildable, blendable, and perfect for that light, dewy, "kissed by a happy pink cloud" look. An air fryer cheat sheet that will basically pay for itself on the first use — you can magnetize this right to your fridge and know precisely how to cook meats, veggies, and frozen food to perfection, helping eliminate food waste and save your budget from takeout. A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses for anyone who needs to stock up on a few "these look like Ray-Bans, but I won't cry into my Baja Blast if I accidentally leave them in the Taco Bell parking lot" pairs this year. These are especially handy because you can match the subtle prints to whatever 'fit you're wearing!

Just $1? Yes, this universally flattering lipstick is only a buck
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals . There's nothing we love more than a universally flattering lipstick that looks good on all skin tones. And when it's budget-friendly? That's a win-win! Over 33,000 Amazon shoppers have found a lipstick that checks those boxes and more. Enter Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick, which can be yours for a mere $1. Yes, you read that right — this top-selling lippie is just a buck. While there are 22 colors to choose from, shoppers seem to love Dark Pink Frost the most, saying it enhances their natural lip color. "Got them for my group of girls to wear for [a] performance and this color looks good on everyone. Good deal for the price," raved one. Plus, the color is buildable, so you can reapply as needed until you get the coverage you crave. This popular lipstick is also infused with vitamins A & E, macadamia nut oil and aloe vera, making it super hydrating. The formula is also cruelty-free, so you can feel good about your purchase. You can't even get a candy bar for a buck these days, so we'd say this is a far yummier purchase. One reviewer called it a "natural subtle shade," before adding, "I have been looking for a replacement of the Covergirl lipstick shades that disappeared years ago, and this has been perfect. It's a mauve pink that's natural, very moisturizing and blends well with many makeup looks. I have an olive complexion and this shade is flattering." Others were surprised by how high-quality lipstick is despite its price. "For such a low-priced lipstick, this was a surprisingly good quality lipstick. Such a beautiful color and nice soft consistency of actual lipstick," wrote one shocked shopper. "You don't have to pay a lot of money to get a quality lip product. The color is beautiful and goes on as smoothly as my more expensive brands. I could not be happier," added a third customer. Some shoppers noted they had some issues with the lid. "It's great for a bit of color and helping dry lips. I have them everywhere and use them often. Not a fan of the plastic cover shape, but it works," noted one. Another said, "Lid does not stay on well, so it's not good for traveling unless you tape the top on. Good value for the price. Soft and moisturizing." While we're on the subject of universally flattering lipsticks, Clinique Black Honey might be the most iconic — but it certainly isn't anywhere near just a buck. Still, you can find affordable versions of the wildly popular color, like this one: Amazon E.l.f. Sheer Slick Lipstick, Black Cherry "I truly can't say enough good things about E.l.f. products, and this sheer lip stain is no exception," writes Yahoo Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini. "It's highly ranked by Redditors for its Black-Honey-esque qualities (similar texture and staying power, and a near-identical hue) and I would even go as far as to say it surpasses the original." $5 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $5 at Ulta Beauty If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course.

Shoppers Say This $5 Perfume ‘Smells Just Like' the Discontinued Bath & Body Works Pink Chiffon Perfume
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. Pretty much any beauty fan who grew up in the late '90s and early 2000s has a soft spot for at least one Bath & Body Works fragrance. And for fans of Pink Chiffon — a fruity, floral scent comprised of sparkling red pear, jasmine petals, tiare flower, vanilla orchid, and the titular chiffon musk — the hunt for a replacement has been on since roughly 2012, when the retailer discontinued the scent. More from SheKnows Shoppers Say This $5 Glossy Lipstick Is a 'Great Substitute for Clinique Black Honey' Today's Top Deals Joanna Gaines' New Hearth & Hand Spring Collection Dropped at Target & Prices Start at $3 Think Spring! Target Just Added Tons of Gorgeous New Patio Items Target Is Having a Can't-Miss Spring Sandal Sale for Circle Members Luckily, scent sleuths have discovered to Bodycology's Sweet Love Fragrance Mist, saying the sparkling red pear, sweet strawberry, and warm musk body mist 'smells just like' the beloved discontinued fragrance. 'If you are a lover of Pink Chiffon by Bath and Body Works… this is the EXACT match,' one reviewer shared. 'Pink Chiffon was my high school fragrance… When I found out they discontinued it, I was SO upset. I went to the store one day and this bottle caught my eye. Nostalgia hit me.' Buy Now $5 What makes this $5 body mist such a fan favorite — beyond the obvious scent similarities — is how wearable it is. The fragrance strikes that sweet (and slightly floral) balance without being overwhelming. One shopper with a self-proclaimed 'VERY sensitive' nose confirmed that Sweet Love is light enough to layer, even with the matching body wash: 'Even after using both the wash and spray together, it's still a sweet floral light fragrance.' While it leans on decadent fruity-floral notes like red pear and strawberry, shoppers say Sweet Love isn't too sugary. A warm base of musk gives it a more grounded finish, making it an easy pick for daily wear. 'Almost like roses and cotton candy,' one customer wrote, 'but in the best way.' The spring-time body fragrance's formula is also free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and aluminum — so it's a solid option for those avoiding harsher ingredients. Bonus: it's vegan and cruelty-free, which one reviewer pointed out makes it 'an awesome price in comparison to BBW body sprays and body washes.' As another shopper summed it up, 'I'd say it's almost bang on! Will definitely be getting more once I run out!' So, for those still mourning the loss of Pink Chiffon — or for anyone who's feeling nostalgic for softer, sweet floral scents — why not give Bodycology's $5 Sweet Love Fragrance Mist a shot?

Revlon's silky, universally flattering Rum Raisin lip balm is just $9
Back in the '90s, Revlon's Rum Raisin lipstick was my jam. The shade was sophisticated yet cool, earthy yet fierce, sexy without trying too hard. The universally flattering lippie had an army of fans, and we wore our pretty pouts with everything from flannel shirts to little black dresses. When I heard that the iconic shade had made a comeback in balm form, I snapped it up. I haven't gone without Revlon Rum Raisin Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balm since it arrived, and I don't plan to — especially since it's just $9. In December, Revlon reintroduced Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balm in five returning shades and added five newbies, each in a fresh white case. Better yet, as the brand explains, the balm is now 40% more hydrating. Hyaluronic acid, aloe and a bit of rose quartz are responsible for the boost. The hues were chosen to flatter a wide variety of skin tones, but the hottest shade of the bunch is Rum Raisin. The nourishing tinted balm is a subtle, shiny take on its vampy cult-classic sister lipstick. The viral star is having a serious moment on TikTok too. One fan noted: "Everyone I see use this color looks absolutely beautiful wearing it." After testing it, they added: "Wow. It is very pigmented and absolutely beautiful. I definitely see that shine, that glassy finish. ... I need to go back and get more colors. ... It's super hydrating on the lips." The reviews are still rolling in, but this lip balm is catching on. Some shoppers even say it reminds them of Clinique's iconic Black Honey. "This is a beautiful lipstick balm hybrid. Nice color payoff, super shiny, no smell or taste," said one fan. "Very comfortable on my lips and does feel nourishing. Loving the Rum Raisin color, a red-plum-brown. Compares to Clinique Black Honey... but [Revlon's] Rum Raisin is better in my opinion because the color payoff is faster to achieve and more shiny and just feels so much more nourishing on my lips." Another five-star beauty buff wrote, "It's very hydrating. The color is deep, yet it's light on the lips. It sort of hugs your lips ... doesn't feel as though it's going to come off quickly. It has a classy, elegant shine. I'm a huge fan." "Super hydrating and glossy," said a third. "I got the Rum Raisin. It looks shiny with good pigmentation on colored skin. Super recommended product for all skin tones. It's just beautiful, balmy and shiny on my brown skin." This even-handed reviewer called it the "best everyday lipstick" but saw room for improvement with staying power: "This lipstick just glides on my lips beautifully, does not accentuate dry patches or lines. The color will disappear after eating, so touch-ups are required during the day; it does not last super long." The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
