Lancome Juicy Shakers

Boom Meringue, Freedom Of Peach, Show Me The Honey

Remember when Lancome's Juicy Tubes came out in 2000? They were a huge hit and we all wanted some. My bestie bought me that Christmas a Seven Days Of The Week set and I loved it, especially the blueberry and lemon ones.

Sixteen (gulp) years later we have new Juicy Shakers. These new cuties are a little different than the tubes but still have the fun factor.



Juicy Shakers come in a martini shaker inspired container and are part oils including apricot, rose de muscat, cranberry and almond , part pigments. You "shake" them to mix and there's a little ball in there to get them mixed.


The color payoff is sheer , with the one shade I have Freedom Of Peach having just a little more color than the other two. They give a nice wash of color along with a good shot of moisture. They feel very good on lips, not heavy and have a shine to them, not a gloss but more than balm.

For the upcoming Summer and  Spring now they're kind of perfect.


You'll see in the one image the applicator, which is a little sponge that picks up color as you shake. I find that I do need two shakes and applications to get the amount of color I want. The sponge doesn't hold tons of color but each time is just enough for each lip and they do build some.

Each of the 20 shades has a candy fruit scent and each is slightly different. It's strong but they smell good, just something to know depending on how you feel about fragrance.

Lancome Juicy Shakers are $ 21 and available Apr. 11th.

I've tried one color-in-oil product, and I don't know what I think about them. I tend to layer my lip products, and I can't see how I could do that with this sponge tip without getting it all yucky. On the other hand, COCKTAIL SHAKERS, come ON.

Ha, cocktail shakers is all we needed to know, right ? Hmm, I guess using the sponge over another product would mess it up . And this seems more of a top layer than bottom, I don't see putting something over this. Probably meant to be used on it's own . Maybe test it at a counter first ?
