Win a Set of Juicy Tubes Chic Delights Lip Gloss!

Lipstick may have dominated the runways at fashion week, but gloss remains a perennial favorite. One of the biggest launches in the past decade is Lancôme's Juicy Tubes. Eleven of the cult-classic lip glosses are sold around the world every minute. Who knew one gloss could be so popular?

Mollie Winerock of Lancôme shared a few details about how the glosses are developed — plus, just in time for the holidays, Juicy Tubes Chic Delights, we're giving away a set of eight glosses. For a quick Q&A and the scoop on entering the giveaway, read more.

Gloss is usually considered a young woman’s cosmetic, but can women of all ages wear it? Any tips for those of us who remember the Reagan administration and beyond?
Women of all ages can certainly wear gloss. Juicy Tubes can be applied over lipstick or alone for a more natural look. Your lips can appear thinner as you age, and gloss helps to add volume so they appear fuller.

How far in advance does the Lancôme team come up with its color trends?
We are always working over a year in advance. We attend trend and color presentations, and we're always aware of what is going on in the fashion industry and what’s happening on the runways.

What kinds of things influence the color choices?
My inspiration comes from so many different places. I am always inspired by the changing of seasons. Spring shades are inspired by light colors and textures while holiday shades and themes come from moods I might be in or places I have recently visited. I live in New York City, so I am lucky to always be inspired by the interesting people around me. I’m a Juicy Tubes fanatic, so I create shades and designs of things I would love to wear and have in my purse.

What’s your favorite versatile color that seems to look good on anyone?
Shades that look the best on anyone typically are neutral tones with a light shimmer. I would recommend Spring Fling or our clear Juicy Tube Pure. Pure is a great shade because you can wear it alone or over your favorite lipstick to add shine and luster.

    I've recently discovered L'Oreal's Infallible lip glosses and they are now my favorite...the reason? Because the colors are amazing and the feel of the gloss is a little sticky/tacky so it stays on for a long time.

    I remember my very first lip gloss. It was pink and sparkly, but when applied, looked like my lips, but better. I must have been about 15 at the time. I was never without that gloss! I've been hooked ever since. Smiling

    Well, I don't know if I have a favorite lip gloss story, but here's the story of my favorite lip gloss! I am a nude lip addict. Every lip product I buy is always of the nude or neutral family. It's so boring, but I can't help it. I love them. So I went to MAC last weekend, all set to purchase the Neutral Lip/Lustreglass set from their Holiday Collection. But for some reason, the Coral set jumped out at me at the MAC counter, and I ended up getting that one instead. And now I have 5 of the most amazing coral lip glosses ever, I literally love every one of them. And that is the story of how I fell in love with colorful lip gloss

    I don't have a particular lip gloss story aside from me being in love with a specific lip gloss that shall remain nameless, it becoming lost somehow and falling out of my purse, and my lovely fiance heard me freaking out and purchased me a replacement. Now thats love.

    my grandmother and I share a few things in common but the one we get most made fun of for - is that we will ALWAYS have lipgloss on. We could be in sweats, we could be in bed, we could be brushing our teeth or at the gym....LIPGLOSS will always be on!

    I am really bad at keeping track of my lip glosses. They always seem to go through the wash and I throw them out. I can't ever use them again because I am nervous that the soap will have gotten into them.

    My lip gloss story is that when I was younger, I always saw the flavored lip glosses at Claire's Boutique and was too nervous to try them. Then, at school, a friend let me try her Vanilla Lip Smackers and I thought it was great! Since then, I love vanilla-flavored lip gloss and always think about my first lip gloss everytime I purchase one!

    I guess I don't necessarily have a lip gloss "story" but... my husband HATES for me to have anything (lip gloss/lipstick) on my lips. He refuses to even give me a tiny smooch if he sees that I have lip gloss on. It just grosses him out for some reason. It's usually a very tough call - not wear it to make him happy or wear it because I love lip gloss! Most of the time, I wear it anyway (but end up wiping it off!) Sad I would LOVE these lip glosses!

    My favorite lipgloss story is about my first lipgloss - LipSmackers Orange Soda (you know you remember it!)

    I was about 10 at the time I got it and since it wasn't just a plain ChapStick or pot of Carmex, I felt so sophisticated - it was like a real beauty product to me!

    The smell and taste of that stuff was addicting so I used to just cake it on.

    About a week after I got it, I went to the bathroom (during History class). While I was washing my hands, I glanced up at the mirror and almost died of embarrassment - that thick, gunky layer of LipSmackers showed up BRIGHT ORANGE on my lips! I looked like I had kissed a pumpkin!

    Needless to say, that was my first big beauty lesson - LESS is MORE!

    I can't leave the house without ONE of my many glosses. I was going into the city with some friend once, realized I hadn't packed one in my clutch and made them stop at the mall right before they closed and ran in and blew drink money on a new MAC lip glass right there. Ha. C'mon glossy lips are more important than a martini right??!!

    I love bright colored lips, but lipsticks always look so harsh on me. That is why I love lip gloss - I can choose a crazy color and put it on as light or a thick as I want. My mom gave me my first Juicy tube in a bright pink and I have been wearing it ever since.

    I use Victoria's Secret Beauy Rush lip gloss (for about 4 years now) and I love it!
    I feel naked without it on!
    One night I did the "one side" bangs look so all my bangs were parted to the right side. Well as soon as I got in the club they started falling in front of my face and of course I didn't have hairspray to hold it in place...so I took out the tube of gloss and dabbed a little on the ends of the hair and it stayed in place! Now it's not only for my lips! Eye-wink

    Actually, if it weren't for lip gloss, I may not have this current obsession with cosmetics and skin care. I didn't wear make-up when I was younger (childhood to teenage years) because of my mom's house rules, but I was always curious about it. It wasn't until she bought me a lip balm that she thought was sheer, but actually was decently pigmented with mauve tones that I noticed how much of a difference just a little bit of color makes. I've been lucky to have fuller lips as one of my features and the shine and color of lipgloss just lights up my whole face. Ever since then, I've been a serious addict, and love it. Smiling

    I love lipgloss. I like colored gloss much better than lipstick. a heavy lipstick makes my lips feel weighted. A gloss makes me feel fresh and enhances the natural with a little kick of color.
    We had a surprise birthday party for my mom's 50th several years ago. We sent her on a scavenger hunt while we finished getting ready for the party. Part of the hunt was a visit to Lancome for a makeover including a little giftcard so she could pick up a new juicy tube. She looked fabulous at her Hawaian themed "Life a Beach at 50" party. her look complete with a little Juicy tubes lipgloss.

    My favorite lipgloss story... Well, I didn't even wear make-up until college (my roommate did it for me, grade school experimentation doesn't count) and I didn't dabble in make-up until graduate school! Then I became obsessed with Revlon Super Lustrous lipglosses, which are very pretty. Then one day, I discovered Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipglazes, and I ditched all the SL lipglosses I'd collected up to that point and bought almost every single lipglaze! My husband is still confused. Smiling

    My best lip gloss story is a HILARIOUS.

    A girlfriend and I were arguing about whose treat our bar tab was a while ago. We decided to have a "purse off" and whoever had the most beauty products in her purse could pay it.

    My 6 lip glosses put me over the top!

    Can't get enough!

    I absolutely loved the Sweet Treats lip gloss that Victoria's Secret used to make. I went to their store and bought every flavor that they had when I found out that they were being discontinued and I still use them to this day. The new Beauty Rush gloss is mediocre, but it's definitely not on the same level as Sweet Treats. They're great for just general moisture or a night on the town when you want to attract and provide a good kiss with a cutie. It also brightens my smile, which is the compliment to any outfit.

    I guess I never thought I could wear anything on my lips. I was so self conscious of how large they were (pre Angelina Jolie) and I thought they made me ugly. Discovering lip gloss helped me to develop confidence about my lips, which are, after all, a large part of my face. I don't remember what the name of my first gloss was, but whatever it was it is well appreciated.

    I really don't know if I have a lip gloss story, but I can honestly say that lip gloss is what turned me into a Beauty Junkie. My first lip glosses were from Bonne Bell. I remember I got them one year for Christmas and I was so excited. They can in a cylindrical container and had a doe foot applicator. I loved this sparkly pink watermelon flavored and my other favorite was a shimmery white color that tasted like vanilla frosting. I still wish they made those. I'd probably still wear them Sticking out tongue

    I actually bought a random strawberry lipsmacker balm last night at the store because I wanted a little pick me up.

    My very first lip gloss was called candy apple, and was made by l'oreal. i used it for a few months, and then when i was at a bar mitzvah my friend borrowed it, lost it, and so i never got it back. i was devastated and tried to find another one with the perfect colour and scent, but it was impossible. I now have more then 30 lip glosses, but that was still my favourite. Recently, when i was at a drugstore (possibly CVS) I fond a lip gloss called candy apple. It smelled familiar, and was the same red colour. I bought it and have been using it now, and although it isn't quite the same, it is the replacement I had been looking for. I think everyone knows what its like to have their favourite colour discontinued, and the joy of finding a replacement for it.

    I couldn't be happier that gloss is the new lipstick.Sure,when I was a kid everyone loved Bonne Bell lip smackers.But as I "matured"(ha)I moved on to the sophisticated world of drug store lipstick,finally moving on to the department store type.My daughter introduced me to the juicy tubes from Lancome.They are her absolute favorite!As for me,I now have so many I feel like the Imelda Marcos of the lip gloss world.But I must continue to try the latest color/flavor.(I wish I were getting paid.)By the way,my husband LOVES it when I wear gloss,he will steal kisses just for the taste.

I just finished my last bottle (which I probably bought at least a year ago). Now I love their 'Voluptuous Violet' full potential gloss... but not as much as my 'Shy Beige' Sad

    I love all these tributes to lip gloss on this board.

    I went midnight bowling with friends one night-in a packed bowling alley populated with a ton of high school kids around, in the dark, bowling badly.
    Then there is me and my 20something group, drinking beer and having a swell old time, when the DJ (oh yes it was that kind of rockin bowl!)turned the lights on and announced last call. So I went to bowl in the now bright lights, but as the ball left my hand I fell flat on my back in the lane, where everyone could see...Pretty smooth!
    But right after this kid ran across about 5 lanes to me and handed me my lipgloss that flew out of my pocket and into his lane when I hit the ground.

    I don't keep my lipgloss in my pants pockets anymore.
    Smiling

    When I was in my teens (man, am I dating myself!), the first official lip gloss hit the market. It was in the mid-sixties and was called Slicker by Yardley, part of their London Look campaign. Until then, if you wanted glossy lips, you dabbed a little Vaseline on your lips! The face of the campaign was the beautiful Jean Shrimpton and EVERYONE wanted to look like her! Believe it or not, I recently went through an old box of my belongings that I had left at my parents' house many, many years ago, and,... lo and behold!, there was an ancient tube of Yardley's Slicker! I wasn't about to put it on my lips, but I recall that it was a little dry and sticky, with a sort of soapy smell and taste! Thank goodness, we have come a long way and now have wonderful products, like Lancome's Juicy Tubes!
