‘So glad these are back’ beauty buffs rejoice as ‘gorgeous’ Primark lip balm returns to shelves in THREE new shades
BEAUTY buffs are rejoicing over the return of Primark’s cult-loved tinted lip balms.
The PS… Tinted Lip Balm costs just £2.50 and is now available in three “gorgeous” shades.
The retail giant’s social media team took to Instagram to announce the return – and shoppers were nearly in tears of joy.
“I love these,” Dee Hannah beamed.
“I’m glad they are back so I can buy my favourites as back ups.”
“I’m so glad these are back,” Mariam Budaly echoed.
“I bought one last year and it’s one of my faves from Primark.
“I wish they would bring back the pencil lipsticks they had in store over six years ago.”
Ally Gofton revealed that she’s “already stocked up” on the cult-loved balms.
The three new shades are Cherry, a deep red, Natural, a beige hue and Pink, a Barbie-esque shade.
“Less than a lipstick, more than a lip balm,” Primark bosses said.
“You can’t really go wrong with our PS… Tinted Lip Balm.
“Designed to offer the best of both worlds with a slick of pretty colour and a dose of moisture for a rosy and nourished pout.
“This product is perfect for slipping into a bag for easy, throughout-the-day touch-ups (no mirror required).
“Even the packaging is pretty perfect.
“This tinted balm is housed in a sleek, pink twist-up tube, so we’re sure you’ll have people admiring it each time you pull this little beauty out!”
Best beauty dupes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard.
“A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.
“While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.
“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for – and, trust me, they’re the ones you want.”
REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact.
REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties – although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of.
REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day.
REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar – unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder’s 60 options.
REAL: Glossier Boy Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s a whole Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.

The product has a similar formula to a lipstick, making it easy to apply and ensuring no mess.
Beauty buffs described the formula as “underrated” and demanded Primark’s beauty team never ditch the product again.
“The natural one is absolutely THE BEST,” one shopper quipped.
“Please, leave them FOREVER.”
