Editor's Pick: The Lip Oil You Need This Summer

Rumor has it that the early 2000s are making a comeback. And while some trends probably should - read: absolutely! - to remain in the past, others undergo modern changes, which again earns them a place at the popular table. Is it a point? Juicy Shakers by Lancome. Paying homage to the cult classic - and still affordable - Juicy Tubes, the new Juicy Shakers come in equally gorgeous shades with a little skin care. Thanks to our friends at Lancôme, we've got our hands on the coveted new lip oils, and let's just say we now order our lipsticks shaken instead of stirred.

Why lip oil is the new lipstick

Lancôme's all-new Juicy Shakers are neither lip gloss nor lipstick. These very noisy new lip pigments are actually oils. True to its name, the lip oil comes in a pretty shake bottle, and the "cocktail" mix inside exactly what dry lips ordered. Combining colorful pigments with five different moisturizing oils - sweet almond oil, apricot oil, nutmeg oil, cranberry oil and peach oil - bi-phase lip oils soften, hydrate and soothe your lips for a gorgeous finish. Colour. And just like your favorite cocktail menu, you have plenty to choose from: 20 different shades, aromas and flavors to be exact!

With the subtle sheen of a lip gloss—no stickiness—and the sass of a lipstick, this lip oil can give you the best of beauty and skincare with a hydrating formula that leaves your lips silky soft and vibrantly colored. . Using two-phase technology, the Juicy Shaker is considered the first of its kind as it consists of two separate phases—oil and pigment—that require a good shake (hence the shaker bottle) before use. The specially designed soft applicator allows the lip oil to apply the perfect amount of pigment to lips with a touch of gloss for luscious lips that will look healthy, soft and radiant.

Shake the shaker about 5 times before use to mix the oils and pigment. Then tap the applicator on your lips to give them a hint of color with a sheer finish. If you want to be bolder, you can use a lip liner or lipstick before applying Juicy Shaker.
