Review: Lancome Juicy Tube - Moulin Rose



I remember the hype re Lancome’s Juicy Tubes lip glosses when they first came out back in high school, so for a long time I have been thinking about buying a tube for myself.
Well all I can say is this, they’re not worth the hype – at least for me.
As a general rule, I don’t much like squeeze tubes of lip gloss as the colour pigments don’t always mix well in the tube and so sometimes all you squeeze out is the clear liquid part of the gloss without the pigment. This tube was no exception when I first opened it.
Moulin Rose actually applies rather clear, with barely any colour. But the thing that brings to mind re disregarding the hype is the fact that the stuff is rather sticky on my lips and so if I’m not too careful, my hair sticks to it really easily. Or rather, it feels like I have slightly dried syrup on my lips, which is a feeling I kinda hate...
So for now, I’ve decided to hang onto it to use as last minute night time lip balm as I don’t really like throwing stuff out, and you can’t donate second-hand make-up.


Symbolic/Sentimental Things I’ve Given Away 1

 
Part of me has always has a soft spot for plaited/braided silver bracelets, ever since I first found one in early high school.
So I was really chuffed when I found this for sale at Oxfam when I was working there at my Christmas job.
Still…after a couple of months, it has become clear to me that I pretty much never wear bracelets, because I really don’t like the feel of things bumping against my wrists as I like to use my hands a lot.
So much as I loved this, I figure it would be better off given to charity so that someone can give it the love it truly deserves…
