‘Captain America: Brave New World’ outperforms MCU classic at the box office… but somehow it could still bomb

A WOMAN has caused outrage in the beauty community after announcing she found the perfect dupe of Clinique’s Black Honey lip balm.
Ash, from the UK, took to social media to film her shopping trip in Boots and came across the lip product.
She said: “Apparently these lip butters from Seventeen Cosmetics are meant to be a dupe of the Clinique Black Honey ones.
“They are £4, and they’ve got this in the shade, Deep Honey, which does actually look like it.”
Clinique’s Black Honey product has been a cult-favourite since it was released in 1971.
It delivers a sheer slip of transparent pigment that works with the natural tone of your lips to create a customised shade to complement any skin tone.
The colour has a mix of purple, brown and red tones that seamlessly blend into everyone’s lips, so, was the dupe just as good?
Ash revealed that the colour looked pretty much identical to the designer version despite the £20.50 price difference.
The lip balm costs just £4 and Ash said it was super hydrating and easy to apply, just like Clinique’s £24.50 version.
She added: “I feel like this is such an incredible dupe for £4.
“I love the consistency, it does feel like a lip balm, it feels really, really hydrating.
“I feel like it has that pigment that went absolutely viral.
“If you want an affordable alternative for the Clinique Black Honey Lip Balm, then I would definitely go try this one out.”
The clips soon went viral with over 400k views on her TikTok account @makeupbyash.x.
People were quick to comment, and while many thanked Ash for showcasing the affordable dupe, many were annoyed she had revealed their secret.
One person wrote: “I’ve been gatekeeping them for a couple of months now I’m obsessed and now they are gonna sell like mad.”

RONNIE Vint has brutally snubbed his Love Island co-stars and claimed he ‘wasn’t there to make friends’.
Ronnie’s outburst comes after he and girlfriend Harriett Blackmore were dumped from the All Stars villa just 24 hours before the final.
The pair were picked to go by a group of returning islanders, yet Ronnie isn’t bothered by his former co-stars turning on him.
Speaking hours after the couple were shown the door, Ronnie has even admitted he speaks to just FOUR guys from last summer’s Love Island, which he first appeared on.
Ronnie told Love Island’s Morning After podcast: “For me, you meet these people on the show, are they really going to be your mates after?
“I probably speak to four people from my series, boy-wise.”
Ronnie did described the twist, which saw the ex islanders each pick to dump one couple from the least popular three, as “brutal”.
However, Harriett is more bothered about the girls turning on them than Ronnie is with his guy ‘friends’ doing the dirty.
Harriett also said on the podcast: “Some of them voted us the most strongest couple. So it’s like, okay then. To do that is just weird to me.
“I think the girls are who I struggle with the most. Especially Tina and Samie. I just thought they were my really good friends.
“It just awkward, isn’t it?”
Fans were left stunned on Sunday night when Ronnie and Harriett were dumped just hours from the final.
Eleven 2025 islanders returned to the villa in South Africa and were told to kick out either Ronnie and Harriett, Sammy Root and Elma Pazar, or Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame.
Ronnie told the boys it was a “sore” way to go and he and Harriett were left raging at many of the reasonings given by their ex co-stars.
Most of the dumped contestants cited the fact Harriett and Ronnie split weeks after leaving the villa last summer as the main reason for kicking them out – something that the couple rejected as a valid reason.
Fans were also furious with the decision to kick the couple out, with one writing on social media that the Love Island app “needed a Harriet and Ronnie were robbed button”.
There are now five remaining couples in the villa.
They are Luca Bish and Grace Jackson, Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard, Catherine and Omar, Elma and Sammy as well as Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman.
This year’s winning couple will be crowned in a nail-biting final TONIGHT.
