Lancôme Juicy Tubes Set Review!

I've never really looked into the brand Lancôme until just before Christmas, A family friend bought me a large Lancôme Juicy tube in the shade Fraise and I absolutely adored it but the colour wasn't the most wearable (for me) so I forgot about it. Previous to this though I'd never really looked or "cared" for the brand, until now..

L-R
 Marshmallow Electra, Pamplemousse, Lychee, Fraise.

For my 17th birthday which was last week, I was bought a Lancôme Juicy tubes Gift set with 4 small glosses in 4 beautiful shades. I love getting presents I don't expect and really didn't expect any makeup as I'd received loads for Christmas unexpectedly and didn't specifically ask for anything, so as I unwrapped the paper and saw the 4 glittery glosses I knew my love for the Lancôme Juicy Tubes was about to be re-visited. But this time in more neutral shades.

The set retails for around £18 which comes to £4.50 per 7ml gloss, which I think is a great price especially for Lancôme products which are known for quality. The sizes of the products are great for a "throw in your makeup bag gloss" kind of product there really handy and have a good amount of product to last a while as I never seem to use up any lip glosses now that I think about it.
The formulation of the glosses is slightly "sticky" when it's been applied for a while but when first applied it isn't very sticky at all, I don't mind the stickiness really as it stays on the lips foooorevverrr!


Apologies for the pictures, this one shows the colours a little bit better :l


The pigmentation of the glosses is fabulous also, my favourite is defiantly the shade "Pamplemousse", it's a beautiful everyday 'your lips but better' shade that looks like a lip balm but lasts 10 times longer. I love the other colours obviously but that's defiantly my fave. I've got the larger tube of fraise which is also a beautiful colour but isn't the most wearable as it has a lot of shimmer and the colour is very bright saying that if you use this on the inner lips with a tinted lip balm it could be more wearable. 'Lychee' and 'Marshmallow Electra' I find very stereotypical colours they're a blue toned light pink and a typical Barbie pink, (im not complaining or saying they're not nice just not my favourite)

Overall the Set is great value the colour pigmentation is amazing and the formulation lasts hours! The colours are reasonably wearable and they will last years (literally).

Overall 7/10 for the set only because I feel the colours could be a little more adventurous but for a 'pretty pinks' set its brill!
