Lancôme's New Lip Gloss Is A Grown-Up Version Of Juicy Tubes & It's Incredible
When it comes to famous beauty products, few reach the cultural status of Lancôme's Juicy Tubes. The iconic lip gloss was a mainstay of the early 00s, and at the height of its reign, no starlet's party bag was complete without a tube of the stuff.
Well, if you thought that was Lancôme's only powerhouse gloss, think again: The iconic French brand is going all in on gloss with its latest launch, Lip Idôle JuicyTreat Oil-in-Gloss, £33. I know what you're thinking: Another 'juicy' gloss courtesy of Lancôme? No, you're not dreaming. But your makeup bag did just get way juicier.
As the name suggests, JuicyTreat is not your average gloss. The oil-in-gloss formula combines the hydration you get from your favourite lip treatment with the shine and colour payoff of a gloss. The texture is utterly decadent — and if you ask us, a new icon in the making. Ahead, four Refinery29 beauty editors put Lancôme's latest launch to the test.
Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Shade(s) tested: All The Tea, Toffee Talk
'I came of age in the 2000s, so Juicy Tubes hold a special place in my core beauty memories. I truly didn't think I could love another Lancôme gloss more — how can you improve upon perfection? But Lip Idôle JuicyTreat may have done the impossible. It's decadent, cushiony and feels as hydrating as my favourite lip oil. I love a warm nude shade and All The Tea (a gorgeous rosewood) and Toffee Talk (a peachy caramel) are my favourites from the bunch. The formula is pigmented enough to show up on lips, but still sheer enough for just a hint of colour or layering on top of a lip pencil. And can we talk about the applicator? It's not your average doe-foot; the slightly tapered shape really hugs lips for an even application and buttery-smooth glide.'
Sara Tan, Global Beauty Director
'Lancôme Lip Idôle JuicyTreat feels like the grown-up evolution of my Juicy Tubes obsession — the same glossy finish but way more nourishing. It's loaded with 20% squalane for legit hydration, delivers rich colour and boasts that plush, mirror-like shine. There's even a slight tingle that seems to give your lips a fuller look (without the sting). And the oversized applicator? So satisfying to swipe on.'

'I'm a huge Olivia Rodrigo fan, so I was stoked to swipe on Million Dollar Berry, which happens to be the shade she wore for the JuicyTreat ad campaign. I have to say that this juicy wash of plum looks so pretty on both of us. Right off the bat, the gloss feels noticeably more conditioning than many lip oils and tinted balms I've tried. While most lip products claim to have moisturising benefits, a lot of them don't go the distance — my lips usually dry out and get flaky after a few hours. But thanks to 20% squalane in the formula, which smooths and hydrates, my lips feel plump and comfortable for hours. It's like wearing an ultra-shiny lip mask that seals in moisture and blurs fine lines for a glass-like finish. Special mention goes to the angular applicator, which makes it easier to trace along my Cupid's bow with precision.'
Jacqueline Kilikita, beauty director
Shade(s) tested: Idôle Nude
'Growing up, Juicy Tubes were always out of my budget, so I have to admit, I've never actually tried the cult-favorite gloss. I know — how did I get this job, again? Because of that, I had nothing to compare JuicyTreat to, but it didn't matter. I think I've found the ultimate gloss in Idôle Nude. I expected it to be really sheer, but the pigment packs a punch and looks like I'm wearing the perfect nude lipstick underneath. And the shine? Gorgeous — and without stickiness. When the day comes, I know it will be part of my wedding makeup look; it's giving blushing bride. Every shade has a slight minty tingle — subtle, but I'm convinced it helps my lips look plumper. That, and the 20% squalane, of course, which moisturises deeply. Lastly, the chunky — actually, ergonomic — applicator makes top-ups easy, even without a mirror.'

This Dewy Moisturiser Is So Good, It's Taken Over Our Editor Group Chat
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. If a brand is fortunate, it will launch a product that goes viral, making the company a household name. Tatcha, a rare exception, has had nearly too many to count. From The Water Cream to The Silk Canvas and The Kissu Lip Mask, the brand has established itself as a modern-day luxury brand with decadent, effective products to back up the hype. While we don't want to jinx anything, something tells us that Tatcha's latest launch will be another notch in its belt of bestsellers. Meet The Dewy Milk Moisturiser, £61 — Tatcha's newest hydrator and our current summer beauty obsession. Joining Tatcha's Dewy collection of products (which includes The Dewy Skin Cream, The Dewy Serum and Luminous Dewy Skin Mist), Dewy Milk Moisturiser is a lightweight hydrator that turns up the glow, not grease, in your skin. (Call it the Skipper to Dewy Skin Cream's Barbie.) The Dewy Milk Moisturiser, £61 As the name suggests, Dewy Milk has a fluid-like texture that quenches skin but absorbs readily. 'We heard from so many people in our community — including my clients — that while the original Dewy Skin Cream is a favourite, it can feel a bit rich for some skin types,' celebrity makeup artist and Tatcha's global director of artistry, Daniel Martin, tells Refinery29. 'The brand created Dewy Milk Moisturiser as a lighter option, giving you that signature glow in a more breathable, milky texture.' Milk has become somewhat of a beauty buzzword of late, with products ranging from toners to lip gloss to cleansers drawing inspiration from the dairy product. But don't just take my word for it; Dewy Milk has become the talk of R29's beauty editor Slack channel, with rave reviews pouring in: 'Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream was the only product I bought on my first-ever trip to New York — you couldn't get the brand in the UK at the time — and I instantly fell in love with its cushiony texture and radiant finish,' says our London-based beauty director Jacqueline Kilikita. 'But as someone prone to breakouts, it didn't always agree with my skin on oilier days. It seems the Tatcha gods were listening, though, because the brand's new Dewy Milk Moisturiser takes everything I loved about the original and transforms it into a lighter lotion that my skin drinks up in seconds and doesn't break me out or leave behind a film.' Even better? 'It layers perfectly under sunscreen and makeup and I'm convinced my skin looks noticeably better since I started using it,' says Kilikita. 'Another bonus: the easy pump. I have long nails and find pots a faff, but this is effortless and mess-free.' Thanks to ingredients like Japanese purple rice (which lends a natural, lilac hue to the stuff), green tea extract and zinc hyaluronate (the salt derivative of hyaluronic acid, which combines the hydrating prowess of HA with anti-inflammatory benefits of zinc) to promote soft, supple skin that's balanced and radiant. 'There's no pilling and no stickiness — just bouncy skin that's perfectly prepped for sunscreen and makeup,' says Tan. If all that isn't enough, Tatcha also enlisted a friend of the brand, Olympic gymnast (and R29 Powerhouse) Suni Lee, to front this extra-special launch. 'I've been a fan of Tatcha for a long time,' she exclusively tells R29. 'I started using the Dewy Skin Cream during my training days because my skin would get super dry from long hours in the gym. [ Dewy Milk Moisturiser ] is so lightweight but also so nourishing and that's what really stands out to me. It's like a glass of water for my face.' Hydrated, happy summer skin in a bottle?
