L'Oreal: Color Juice- general review (lipcolor)
Overall Rating: 5
Price: 2
Packaging Quality: 4
Would you buy this product again? Yes
These are AMAZING...love their staying power and color...can't wait to see if they keep coming out w/ new ones! Anyone else loving these?? If you like Lancome JT, they are a GREAT alternative and IMHO just as high quality...and you can't say that about too many products....

The JT's are just way too expensive for me and there was just no justifying buying them (and it didn't help that my Lancome counter has the snobbiest SA ever). So I decided to try the CJ's after reading rave reviews on MUA. These are a great alternative, and I love the smell. But most of them are pretty sheer. I love Candy Apple and the Melon one, though. Definitely worth the $6 or so!

As a fan of sticky l/g, I highly recommend cj's. They're affordable, long lasting and come in a nice range of colors.

these are almost identical to jt's and half the price. my favorite is peaches and creme, one of the more pigmented colors, it's a lovely sheer peach-orange. great staying power.

I love these glosses! I bought Bubble Gum and Tutti Frutti at Walmart the other night for $7. I just wish they had some orangey colours. I bought one orange one like 5 years ago, but didnt like it and gave it away  Now I want it back

Comments: I want so badly to like this product... the colors are great, the scent is great, and I love the shine. But they're so STICKY!!! My fiance doesn't want a kiss when I'm wearing these because he hates the sticky feeling... that sucks!

Comments: I bought mine [watermelon??] a few weeks ago. I love it because it is a clear color, but has some deep pink/mauve tones to it. Although it can be just a bit sticky, nothing big. FYI:: L'oreal is just a smaller-based company of Lancome. So Colour Juices are Juicy Tubes. I don't see a difference besides the prices. Definetly more for the Colour Juices!!

i just discovered this product and i love it. I actually prefer this styling of packaging over the regular lipgloss and wand. yes i have to apply with my finger, but at least im not contaminating the gloss by sticking in a used wand or whatever. It is very sticky, but i dont mind this too much. I even found some to be less sticky over others. Good price that cant be beat. It does go on very sheer, so dont expect a lot of color when u put it on. its exactly what i am looking for.

I just can't make myself like these. They're too sticky, and I can't see the comparison to JT's...in my opinion the JT's are better.

I actually got one for free. My mom bought a hair dye and it came in there, but I would def buy them. They have nice pigmentation and they arent as sticky as a lot of other drug store brand l/g...

i've tried many brands for lipglosses but most of them left my lips dry and flaky after "evaporating" but not these CJs! they just leave a subtle lipstain look. i love them so much that i have 6 of these now and 12 more coming in the mail(i got a cp of it from the US cuz ours is the Asian version which is slightly different).

I like these a lot. The are a cheaper alternative to JTs as everyone has said, but they aren't as good as JTs. the round tip applicator really annoys me. other than that, they are very nice, smell good, and last long.

I only have pink grapefruit right now but have used quite a few in the past. I like the way they look and they come in great colors. They are a bit sticky and thick but what do you expect from a d/s brand. I'm in favor!

Comments: I have about 8 of these. My favorite shades are Peaches N Creme, Melon Punch, and Watermelon Crush. They are not completely sheer, and add just the right amount of color to your lips.

I bought this in Color of Hope, which is a lovely shade that basically enhances my natural lip color. I enjoy also enjoy the gloss's berry scent. However, I don't like the rounded applicator tip or the stickiness, though my understanding is that stickiness translates into lasting power.

I bought this product after hearing that it was comparable to JT's. I must say as a cheaper alternative, I suppose they are good...though I've never tried JT! As soon as I do, I'll have something to compare it to.
I liked this lip gloss. I'm not falling down in love with it. It provided a lovely shimmery kiss of shine to my lips. I purchased it in Golden Splash. It is lovely over a bit of lip pencil as well. The staying power was really good. It is a bit sticky, but nothing that is not tolerable. The only thing that I really, really didn't like is that it has a funky smell. I made my husband smell my lips after it was bothering me so much. *L* He said it smelled like black licorice...and I hate black licorice. All in all, I would buy it again. Maybe it is just that one colour that has a funky smell to it!
((If you want to try it and have access to a Kmart, they are having Buy one Get one 50% on L'Oreal products. Also, a good time to try out the HIP Products as well!))

I love these glosses. I like JT's SLIGHTLY better (probably because of th slant tip lol), but these are great. I love the fruity smell and the texture. They're kind of sticky, but not like lipglasses. Most of them are sheer with a hint of color too. Love these but they're not my ULTIMATE favorite gloss.

Comments: These glosses are good if you don't like touch ups. Seriously! They're pretty sticky, but that's what I like about them. They're pretty sheer, so I never bothered to continue buying anything besides the clear one. It's good if you're going to apply a gloss over a lipstick, since this one is pretty long lasting because it sticks to the lips so much.
