Primark fans 'obsessed' with £2.50 NARS 'dupe' of tinted lip balm worth £26

Beauty fans have been flocking to Primark stores for a new range of tinted lip balms bearing a similarity to an iconic brand - but over £20 cheaper.

The budget fast fashion chain recently took to TikTok to share its new PS...Tinted Lip Balm which is available in four different shades. Priced at £2.50, the lip balm is available in pink, red, nude and cherry shades.

While the retailer is well known for its affordable selection of clothing and accessories, it has been upping its beauty game recently. Not only are the products budget friendly, they are also said to be similar to pricier brands.

Which is exactly why it should come as no surprise that the new tinted lip balms have also been hailed as a 'dupe', with most shoppers claiming it is similar to the NARS bestselling Afterglow Lip Balm.

The cult favourite's lip balms are currently sold for £26 on the NARS website, while they are £24 on LOOKFANTASTIC and £25 from Boots. That means Primark shoppers who snap up this tinted lip balm 'dupe' are saving anywhere between £21.50 and £23.50.

Designed to give you the best of both a lipstick and lip balm, Primark's PS...Tinted Lip Balms feature a sleek, twist-up packaging that make it identical to the pricier brand's beauty buy.

The main difference that we could find between the two brands, was that the iconic Nars version is available in eight different shades. Meanwhile, Primark's PS...Tinted Lip Balm is only available in four.

Primark recently unveiled its Nars tinted lip balm 'dupe' in a TikTok video that was simply captioned: "Make-up bag must-have. #primarkmakeup #tintedlipbalm."

The clip, which has since been viewed over 259,000 times, quickly garnered attention from beauty fans who could not wait to get their hands on them.

One shopper raved: "Nars dupes! We need swatches please."

A second agreed: "Literal nars dupe."

A third exclaimed: "NEED THESE ON MY FACE LIKE YESTERDAY."

And a fourth impressed shopper wrote: "I just got one of them today and I'm obsessed!!"

While a fifth added: "Omg I want the first one."

Nars wasn't the only designer brand that Primark's tinted lip balms were compared to, as other shoppers mentioned that they looked similar to lip balms sold from Dior and Clinique.

Primark shoppers can find the £2.50 PS...Tinted Lip Balms in-stores now. Stock may vary from store to store.
