Juicy Tubes

I tried the Fraise 'flavour', which looks quite an intense raspberry colour in the tube. Fortunately, the gloss is really very translucent, as I find bright and intense colours quite intimidating.

Pros: the Fraise colour subtly intensifies and deepens the natural shade of your lips, so it is easy to wear and does not look overly 'made up'. Gives lips a healthy shine but is not too glossy. I'd happily wear this on an everyday basis.

Cons: the opposite to Lisa, really - I found the texture a bit sticky and gloopy and would prefer something silkier, like the Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm. I like to feel that a gloss is 'good' for my lips, particularly as they tend to dryness, but I didn't really get that from the Juicy Tubes. I'd prefer a 'brush on' gloss because it can be applied more precisely.

Overall: 7/10 - Cosmetically, a great product with good, surprisingly subtle colour. Lost points on texture and 'feel-good factor'.
