Lancome Juicy Tubes

Hi, I am a blind lady and have just discovered Lancome Juicy Tubes.
I was really pleased with it's quality and texture. It has a nice flavour too, and is very easy to apply. Some lip glosses are difficult to apply from a blind persons's point of view, but juicy tubes are so easy.
They are in a convenient tube, with an easy applicator on the top. Highly recommended.

Juicy Tubes
I have been trying out the Pamplemouse Juicy Tube – quite a pale shade with some added ‘sparkly’ bits through it for even more girly appeal. Being so fair skinned the colour was a bit draining on me when worn on its own but wearing over lipstick it worked really well, adding extra glossiness and shine.
If you had a bit of a tan I think you could get away with it on its own and I will certainly be trying that out in the summer. A bit heavier than some lip glosses but that was no bad thing – it stopped it ‘bleeding’ over the lips like some do which can look very unappealing! Smelt scrummy too!!
Juicy Tubes Pop
We've been trying out Juicy Tubes Pop - the Juicy Tubes range with a cooling formula.
We tested 'Dragee' which is a lovely pearl shade which applies clear and has a lot of pearly sparkle. This is one of those great shades that works on it's own or over lipstick and suits day or evening - we think it's a must for your make-up bag, it'll take you anywhere!
As for the cooling sensation - this is more obvious when your wear it alone. It gives a gentle tingly feel to the lips, a little bit like a minty lip balm would. We think the aim is to give a plumping effect to the lips, we're not convinced it did that, but it certainly feels good anyway!
Juicy Tubes
I love Juicy Tubes, I have to avoid Lancome counters wherever possible because I'd just buy them all!!
They're my most favourite gloss as, for me, they seem to last longer than other glosses. I also love the texture which is thick enough to not slide off your lips, but not too thick to glue your lips together!
I wear them on their own or over a lip colour. My favourite shade is marshmallow (of course!), closely followed by Fraise.
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'.
