Clinique is one of those classic, higher-end department store makeup brands that you may be surprised to find on Amazon. Yet, not only can you indeed find a wide selection of the brand’s offerings on the big A — you can find it at unbeatable deal prices. A top purchase for HuffPost readers this Black Friday, Clinique’s Pop Plush creamy lip gloss is a super-hydrating, famously not sticky, buildable lip product that you’ll grab for every time.
Whether you’re getting it for yourself or as a stocking stuffer for a makeup lover in your life, you can still grab a tube in all 10 shades for its Black Friday price, a giant 30% off — the lowest price it’s been in weeks. Usually going for $25, a tube is currently just $17.50, saving you close to $10 for what reviewers call “the best lip balm/gloss I have ever used.”
It looks like a regular lip gloss, but it’s formulated with skin-care ingredients.
While the product offers long-lasting shine, it also offers some serious skin-care benefits. This is mainly due to hyaluronic acid in the formula, which, according to the Cleveland Clinic, is “very good at retaining water” and “helps skin stretch and reduces skin wrinkles and lines.” It’s also made with aloe, avocado and shea butters, for conditioning, hydration and protection. “This is a beautiful product that even looks good on the lips of older women,” reviewer Zoe said. “It softens the color of any lipstick underneath this, and also softens lip lines and wrinkles.”
Many reviewers speak to how the gloss keeps their lips from drying out and chapping, better than other products they’ve tested — whether they’re “talking all day” at work, or going out on the town at night.
“...I’ve tried so many glosses, lip balms, vaseline, coco butter, coconut oil, everything but nothing worked. I put this on my lips and instantly noticed the difference,” one wrote. “It’s light, has a wonderful tint, and feels like it will last. I will be giving this to whoever, friend or foe because it lifted my mood.”
Another reviewer, a man who initially felt sheepish for using a lip gloss, noted this product “helped immensely” with peeling lips, calling it “the one product I found that actually works.”
“I apply this in the vehicle before I go in anywhere, no more peeling skin,” they wrote. “It is not sticky or waxy like a lot of balm. It goes on smooth and it’s not thick. It really moisturizes your lips; you can’t even tell you have it on.”
Coming in 10 shades, ranging from neutrals to vibrant hues, the gloss offers a buildable color that looks great alone or layered on other lipsticks and liners.
Users love the hourglass-shaped doe foot applicator for effortless application, ensuring their lips are evenly coated in the product. Senior Shopping Writer Lourdes Avila Uribe particularly loves the brand’s beloved Black Honey shade (which also comes in stick form, which is also currently on sale.)
“I can confirm that this hue really does look good on everyone — my sister spent decades stealing mine and now my wife swipes it on occasion,” she said. “Sometimes I wear it on its own for a sheer, glossy burst of color and other times I layer it over the Black Honey balm for a more saturated, dramatic look. It has just the right amount of slickness and leaves my lips looking dewy and plump, but doesn’t feel overly sticky or smudgy.”
And unlike other glosses, reviewers report you won’t have to constantly reapply.
Not only does this gloss offer high shine, skin care benefits and great color — users say it lasts “much longer than you’d expect,” like, four or five hours.
“...The real surprise? It actually stays on,” another happy customer said. “I wore it through coffee, lunch, and way too much talking — and it still looked fresh. No weird stickiness, no constant reapplying. Just smooth, comfortable wear that lasts.”
Many say they appreciate how they don’t need to reapply the gloss while wearing it, making it a great, low-maintenance option for everyday use. Others who don’t frequently wear makeup, or don’t like wearing a lot of makeup, agree that it fits in seamlessly to a more natural look and won’t “overpower” your face or make you feel “too ‘done up.’”

“Finally found the lip gloss I’ve been searching for! The color is absolute perfection — not too dark, not too light, just that ideal flattering shade that works for everyday wear and a night out. But the real surprise? It actually stays on. I wore it through coffee, lunch, and way too much talking — and it still looked fresh. No weird stickiness, no constant reapplying. Just smooth, comfortable wear that lasts. If you’ve been on the hunt for a gloss that nails both color and staying power, this one is it. Total must-have for your bag!” — Customer
“I’m obsessed with the Clinique Pop Plush Creamy Lip Gloss! I love it so much that I have it on auto-delivery every two months. It keeps my lips hydrated, soft, and beautifully shiny without feeling sticky. The blend of hyaluronic acid, avocado, aloe, and shea butter truly makes a difference. It has a creamy, lightweight texture that’s perfect for everyday wear. My lips love it — and so do I!” — Amarely seoane
“Love it the best lipgloss I ever bought. I will continue to buy this from now on perfect color. It is the best Clinic always does. Make a wonderful product. I’m so glad this is available on Amazon. Woo hoo.!!!!” — Carlos C.

A steroid-free miracle product for eczema-prone skin (30% off list price)
I highly recommend this French cream to anyone with problematic skin, as it has certainly saved me in a pinch when I had an eczema breakout and no prescription cream on hand. Advertising itself as a restorative barrier cream, it makes sense that the Avène Cicalfate acts as a shielding and isolating layer to compromised skin. And, according to the brand, the formula also works by improving the conditions that are optimal for damaged skin to recover by employing protein-rich postbiotics and a copper-zinc-sulfate complex. This richly textured and incredibly hydrating cream also has 45 potential uses, from razor burn, to diaper rash to scrapes and post-surgical scarring and much more. Get it for 30% off.
The ever-popular and rapidly selling Crest 3D Whitestrips (35% off list price)
There's a reason these things absolutely fly off the shelves every time they're on sale: they really can work. So well, in fact, they have 4.6 stars from close to 99,000 customers. All you have to do is peel off two strips and apply them for 45 minutes once a day, and Crest says you can see a difference of up to 20 shades whiter in about three weeks. This kit comes with 44 Professional Effects Whitestrips — enough for 22 days of treatments — and two one-hour Express Whitening treatments. Get it for 35% off.
A drugstore formula that evens skin tone and corrects dark spots (25% off list price)
In as little as two weeks, the Eucerin Radiant Tone serum claims to visibly fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation and brighten dull-looking skin using an ingredient called Thiamidol. The hydrating formula also promises to prevent new sun damage from forming by using an ingredient called licocalchone, an antioxidant that can neutralize free radical damage responsible for causing premature skin aging. Get it for 25% off.
A multi-balm stick containing collagen and PDRN (37% off list price)
This all-in-one multi-balm by Korean-founded brand Kahi can be used all over the face, on the neck, under the eyes and even on the lips. The plumping and dewy formula has a natural fermented jeju oil base that's meant to deeply nourish skin and uniquely contains salmon-derived collagen to target things like volume loss. Get it for 37% off.
One of my absolute favorite daytime moisturizers filled with ceramides (20% off list price)
I have been using the CeraVe daily lotion as my go-to day facial moisturizer (though it can be used for both the face and body) for several years now and for a few different reasons. In my opinion, it's the ideal mid-weight texture that soaks completely into the skin and layers seamlessly over my other daytime skin care products, without any kind of contradictions. Something about the slight velvet finish that this lotion leaves behind serves as the perfect base for makeup to layer on top of — no pilling or unsightly foundation separating. Plus, the fact that I can procure a value-sized bottle of this for less than $20 keeps me coming back time and time again, but now that it's on sale for 25% off, I'll be grabbing several. Get it for 20% off.
