Lipgloss hasn’t been a thing for me in a long time.

Lipstick, one of my beauty trade marks, however, just came into play 8 years ago. Before that, lipglosses were the thing on my lips. Blame the 90s.

The classic Lancôme Juicy Tubes were an integral part of discovering makeup for me, but I felt I grew out of them, in a way.

Bring in the Lancôme Juicy Shaker, somewhat a version of the cult classic, reworked for the present day.

Start with the packing, a cute bullet that keeps a surprise: a ridiculously soft sponge applicator in a conical shape, which delivers the right amount of product and helps contour the lips.

The lipgloss itself has a super light formula, supercharged with oils (they are all the rage, don’t you know?!). These contain a blend sweet almond oil, omega 3 and cranberry oil for extra hydration and softness.

I tried Apricute and Cherry Symphony and the pigmentation is very decent:  a somewhat buildable tint (which is said to get more intense the more you shake the bullet) with a lovely sheen that is in no way sticky. My hair hasn’t caught once!

So good tat even my little forest friend wanted a piece of it – I had to be pretty nifty in removing them from the tray! 😀

Lips feel soft and moisturised. A real blast from the past in the best way possible!
They come in an amazing 14 shades, including the limited edition Mint to Be, cost £18 each and can be purchased online and at retailers nationwide.
