Before this we have no idea what is lip oil. The name itself gave a lot away however many wonder what it does and why do we need to apply oil on our lips. But when Lancôme came out with the first lip oil – the Juicy Shaker, the rest follows and we now know what lip oil are. The choices we have here in Malaysia are very very limited, unlike those residing in the United States.
Now, what is lip oil? Just like face oil, lip oil is an oil-based product for the errr lip! I cannot speak for all the brands on the function and benefits of all lip oil in the market because each brand has its own special criteria. One thing for sure, lip oil is more than a lip balm but not quite a lip gloss. Something like that 😀 . One that is slightly different from other lip oil is Lancôme Juicy Shaker. Not only it is the first lip oil ever created, it is also the first pigment bi-phase lip oil. If you have seen and tried some of the lip oil available, you will agree with me that this Juicy Shaker is really something different.
Juicy Shaker comes in a martini-lookalike packaging. Because this is a bi-phase lip oil, there is a separation of the oil and pigments when left unattended. Hence you need to shake it to mix both products well. And a martini-alike packaging fits the bill. Absolutely brilliant! I dig the idea 😀
It comes with a cushion applicator, just like a lip gloss except that this is cuter, shorter, and bigger. I have been enjoying this cushion applicator more than anything else therefore I do reach for this more. The small handy dandy tube also makes it easy to throw in a handbag or even clutch. Touching up is not an issue with this applicator. For the first time I can tell you this – no mirror needed.
All together, Juicy Shaker comes with 15 shades with 15 different flavours, which all taste absolutely delicious. Mine is in the shade 283 Berry In Love and it smells like martini to me LOL. In fact this shade carries a juicy blackberry flavour to it. It seems like a deep fuchsia purple from the tube, which sent me jumping up and down in excitement as I love me some purple lip product.
As mentioned, this Juicy Shaker comes in two phase of product. A transparent oil which are made from a blend of five nourishing oils for the a lip balm-like hydration while second phase provides pigment for a touch of color. Berry In Love on my lip is a deep red instead of a purple. At first I was intimidated with the glossy shine that it gave me. You see, I don’t use lip gloss at all but because this is a lip oil product, shine is inevitable. However I am glad to report that the shine you see are not sticky at all. It feels incredibly comfortable on my lips 🙂 . That hint of shade is also one of the reason why I reach out for this more. The shade gave me a livelier overall look.
Just like a lip balm, only more moisturizing and prettier to have on the lips. It is so easy and convenient to apply, with no mirror needed, smells good, taste good, easy to bring while on the go.
Lancôme Juicy Shaker is now available at all Lancome counters and kiosks nationwide.

So cute!
Do you think it’ll help with my chaffing and peeling problem?
Besides Lancome, what other brands carry the lip oil products?
Your case is serious than mine so let’s take my current lip allergy attack on the lip due to toothpaste scenario as an example.
Currently I have two lip oil from different brand. This Juicy Shaker works in moisturizing very well but because the skin on my lip is too dry and thin, I need something thicker. The other one I have is Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil which is more like a thick lip oil. Similar to a lip gloss, only not as tacky as lip gloss. That one works better for me and keeps the pain at bay. I was also told that one works like a lip treatment. You can apply it to bed. Which I did as my lip now are chaffing like crazy due to the allergy attack.
