Lip Cocktails for Summer: Lancôme Juicy Shakers




Hello everyone and welcome back to LooksByLi! I wanted to start a new series here on my blog this summer featuring the new, innovative lip Juicy Shakers from Lancôme. This is a product I am currently obsessed with and I thought the whole cocktails and shakers theme was a perfect hit for summer. Lancôme gives new meaning to the phrase “party in your mouth”! Except its more like, party on your lips. An exciting and innovative new lip product that is sure to gain momentum like liquid lipsticks did a few years back.








I believe it was Yves Saint Laurent who first introduced this concept of oil infused lip products with their Volupte Tint-In-Oil lip-glosses. Since then more and more innovative products using lip oils are beginning to make their way into the beauty market. Though they both use oils, the Lancôme Lip Juicy Shaker introduced a form of melding these ingredients with a high pigment payoff. This series will entail various lip combination or “cocktails” if you will that will be perfect to strut for summer! I believe a lot of you beauty enthusiasts out there will really enjoy this series. Every week I will feature a new shaker gloss paired with a lipstick or lip liner combo or lip “cocktail”, perfect for achieving those glossy, plump lips for summer. Be sure to comment with your combinations down below for a chance to be featured in one of my posts!






I know a lot of ladies out there want to simplify their makeup routines in the summer and a heavy, drying liquid lipstick is just not on par with the sunny, humid days of summer. During this time of year everyone wants that plump, shinny look to the skin and the lips are no exception. Let me begin by giving you a mini review and background thoughts of the Juicy Shakers from Lancôme.









The slogan of this makeup product is, “Shake it, Twist it, Love it! Colors that turn you on”, and boy do they ever. The complete collection comes with 18 colorful mix of peaches, cranberries, and reds, not to mention a blue that gives a gorgeous pink/purple tint to the lips. This product is seriously addictive and I want to own the entire collection. It consists of a lip oil with a pillowy-soft cushion applicator for a delicate shot of color, with a hint of shine to the lips. Because it is an oil gloss, the pillow cushion applicator helps smooth the product and apply it evenly to the lips. For the best application be sure to pat the product on the lips similarly to how you would apply foundation using a beauty blender. The next thing to keep in mind is this product separates between oil and pigment so you have to give it a good shake before use.







The Juicy Shaker’s bi-phasic technology delivers the first pigmented lip oil with 2 distinct phases. The first phase is a transparent oil phase for a comfortable non-sticky shine. This is very true you guys. When I applied these on their own, it left no sticky residue and they melted in very nicely into the lips. The second phase is the pigment, for a shot of color! Shake the gloss like a cocktail shaker to mx the phases and get the final lip product.







The product is a cocktail blend of 4 nourishing oils that treat your lips similarly to a lip balm, but much more moisturizing and plumping. Peach kernel oil; a well-known emollient softens the lips, while Sweet Almond oil conditions and Cranberry oil provides rich anti-oxidant properties. So, not only are these glosses super nourishing, but they also smell like the oils they are infused with. The one I featured today is the peach and it smells divine. If you can’t tell from watching my YouTube videos, peach is one of my all time favorite scents! But that’s not all; Muscat Rose oil is also included for a rich in essential fatty acids combo that helps to soothe the lips as well. Your lips will feel on cloud nine, you wont resist reapplying these babies over and over again, and because they are oil infused, they will never goop up, cake up, or flake off.








Now it’s time to create your own Parisian Lip Cocktail:

Start with a base: In my featured look today I started with applying a lip liner from Mac in lasting sensation all over the lips.
Add a “shot” of flavor and non-sticky shine with your Juicy Shaker of choice: Then using the shaker in Freedom of Peach I tapped that on top for a fruity looking splash of peach/pink on my lips!

And voilà you got yourself an irresistible lip combo for summer!
