Lip gloss lovers, prepare your pockets. Lancôme is dialing up the shine with four new shades of its iconic Juicy Tubes and they’re as crave-worthy as you remember. Think back to 2000, when you first swiped on a layer of Juicy Tubes’ glossy barely-there colour and maximum-impact gloss. The grunge ’90s were over and we’d finally put down our formerly favoured matte lippies and couldn’t get enough of Juicy’s sweet shine—the exact reason why and how they became an instant makeup bag essential.
Equal parts shimmer, scent and nostalgia, the squeeze-and-glide formula was a Y2K-era staple that has never quite left our hearts or our purses. Now, 25 years after its original debut, the gloss is once again having a moment and Lancôme is marking the occasion with a fresh round of flavours and finishes designed to hit our sentimental sweet spot.
“Lavender Latte” is the standout, a soft-clear gloss infused with lilac shimmer and a floral-fruity scent that nods to the French brand’s ambassador, Olivia Rodrigo’s signature shade. “Cocoa Macchiato” lends a cozy vibe, blending sheer brown tones with pink reflects and a chocolatey finish that’s equal parts gloss and comfort. Then there’s “Spring Fling,” delivering a translucent pink sheen with a juicy dewiness and “Marshmallow Electro,” a shimmering rosy hue with hints of silver for that high-gloss, candy-kissed look.
The formula? Still as satisfying as you remember. Ultra-glossy without the grit, moisturizing without the sticky mess. Every press of the tube glides on smoothly too and cushions our lips with up to four hours of hydration. And while the packaging remains true to its roots—sleek, squeezable, pocket-friendly—Lancôme’s latest launch proves that some beauty icons don’t just age well. They get better with time.
Lancôme Juicy Tubes in four new shades, “Lavender Latte,” “Cocoa Macchiato,” “Spring Fling” and “Marshmallow Electro,” $35 each, available at Sephora and online at www.lancome.ca.
