As for the product itself, Black Honey is just as impressive as the world’s reaction to it. In the tube, the product gives off an incredibly deep, almost-blackberry hue. However, when swiped onto the lips, it applies as a sheer and incredibly buildable, lighter berry shade. The formula itself feels nourishing and hydrating, proving its ‘almost lipstick’ name by emulating the feel of a tinted lip balm. When I tell her how many people I’ve talked to came to the brand and continue to stick with the brand, Lauder says it reminds her of her journey with the company.
It’s so upsetting that no cruelty-free brand has managed to do a truly good waterproof mascara. The industry cannot catch up fast enough for me. It being such a basic makeup product just makes it a tad more frustrating. I will write down all these brands and keep the list in my bag and on my desk.

Picking up traction back in August, Black Honey swiftly began to sell out from Clinique stores and their stockists around the world, continuing to sell out with every restock, even today. With the likes of Clinique ambassador and Game Of Thrones alum, Emilia Clarke, singing its praises, there’s no wonder why the world has become obsessed with getting their hands on juicy hue. Lynn Foster is a 25-year-old pharmacist in New Jersey who just wants her face to look like her own face, but, you know, better.
However, they sell in mainland China, which unfortunately refutes this statement. Therefore, they cannot be considered cruelty-free. For a cruelty-free alternative to their “dermatologist-tested” eye makeup, give SheaMoisture’s products a try!
Its thick mascara wand and formula are very similar to Dior’s. For a cruelty-free alternative to their unique eyeshadows, I would recommend the cruelty-free Lancome makeup brand Illamasqua, which sells equally deluxe eyeshadows. Like L’Oreal, Estée Lauder also owns several other brands which are subject to this same policy.
