If you could only travel with one or two of your favorite beauty products, what would you choose? Zooey Deschanel crafted a genius workaround to that question so she’ll never be without any of her faves, including the Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey.
The actress showed fans how she made an adorable mini makeup palette on Instagram. With the help of her makeup artist, Zaheer Sukhnandan, Deschanel boiled it down to her must-have products so she never has to live without any of them.
“I like to travel, and I want everything to be really small because I hate carrying stuff,” she joked in the clip. She managed to pack nearly 20 formulas into the travel-friendly palette, but very few lippies — aside from Clinique Black Honey.

Unsurprisingly, Deschanel is a major fan of the iconic lip balm — it’s one of the most popular lip products in the world because of its impeccable ability to leave behind the perfect touch of color that universally works for all skin tones. If you were to dig in your mom, grandma, aunt or even best friend’s purse, you’d most likely find a tube of Black Honey.

The hue is definitely what keeps people loyal to the balm, but it also helps that the formula itself is rich, buttery, yet totally weightless. A single swipe wraps your pout in a nourishing hug and leaves behind a subtle sheen for a just-bitten finish.
This lip balm has been around since 1971, and over 11,000 Amazon shoppers have given it their five-star seal of approval. “I’ve been obsessed with this lip color since Lord of the Rings (the original) came out,” one happy customer writes. “In all this time, it has never failed me. A true neutral color, this barely there berry has been stunning on both cool and warm-toned friends. The formula is moisturizing and surprisingly durable (four to five hours) for how sheer the color is. Also, one tube lasts forever, so it’s worth the price.”
So, if this sheer, lightweight lip balm is Deschanel’s and thousands of other people’s holy grail lip product, make it yours too. The tube is small enough to slip into your tiniest purse, so don’t feel pressure to melt it down like the actress. Experience the hype for yourself!
