Primark Beauty fans say lip balms are a 'NARS dupe' for a fraction of the price

Shoppers are going crazy for Primark’s new tinted lip balms - with some saying they look like a take on a much more expensive brand. Beauty fans have taken to social media to rave about the new make-up bag necessity with some heralding them as NARS dupes.

The balms, made with jojoba oil and vitamin E, come in a range of colours from pinks to a cherry red. And the best thing is they are retailing for just £2.50 compared to pricier alternatives on the shelves at around £20.

Posting on Primark Beauty’s Instagram page today, fan @jmcsnowball said: “Need all of these,” while @toughie84 said: “omg, NARS dupes.” Others were already planning their shopping trip to their nearest store, with one saying they were "running" to snap one up.

Primark beauty itself posted: "We can't pick a favourite." The packaging has a similar design to that of the NARS Afterglow lip balms, which retail at around £24.
