I’ve been trying to dupe this now obsolete lip balm for quite some time now – I’ve had fairly good success with bespoke lipsticks but not so much success on the high street. I feel very sure that £37 is well over the odds for a lip balm but it’s what Gucci commanded for this, so the ultimate find has to be a more budget friendly version.
I came across the Toboco brand in my local (yes, I have one!) K beauty store (HERE) and this balm in Flush Cherry looked really promising. It’s also a very nice balm – does the job.
Tocobo Flush Cherry… and…
Similar to this
… Gucci Rene Pink. They’re really not far away from each other are they?
Bottom is Gucci, top is Tocobo. It’s £12.50 HERE. I’m quite happy with this – I’ll definitely wear it but actually the dream is Charlotte Tilbury Balm in Rene Pink. Could it ever happen?

Wow! I really couldn’t tell that there are two different ones on your lips! Looks like even better match than Ice’n’Fire and seriously closer than Bespoke! On your hand Toboco seems slightly pinky-er and Rene tad peachy-ier, but on the lips it looks like perfect dupe! Congrats! Wish you to get Charlotte’s variant as well (they should upgrade their park of colors, huh?)!
Yes, it’s pretty close I think.
