If you went online at almost any point over the last couple of years, you’ll probably have spotted doing the rounds as the must-have makeup product to have in your beauty bag. The shade was lauded for being universally flattering, as well as for its semi-sheer finish that was perfect for creating a not-too-done look.

The lippy might have been around for decades, but after a TikTok went viral for sharing that it was used by Troian Bellisario in Pretty Little Liars, Julia Roberts in Stepmom, and Zooey Deschanel in New Girl, it was given a new lease of life. And now, fans of the shade can snap it up in a Limited-Edition Pop™ Lip + Cheek Oil, , at Boots.

The new oil version is a two-in-one product that gives you a dewy, sheer wash of colour in the iconic Black Honey shade, and can be used on both your cheeks and your lips for a cohesive look. It has a lightweight oil-based formula enriched with safflower oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil and castor oil which not only hydrates, but nourishes your lips and skin as you wear it.

It’s silky texture blends effortlessly with either your fingers or a brush and sinks straight into your skin, giving a natural-looking wash of colour. It has a tapered applicator that allows you to slick it straight onto your lips for an ultra-glossy finish without the sticky feeling, or you can dab it directly onto your cheeks and blend out for a subtle flush of colour with a soft, dewy effect.
