Raisin is the only one of the Lancome Juicy Tubes that I can wear, since it is a well pigmented gloss - some of the others hardly show up on my pigmented lips. This is a lovely clear, deep berry-pink colour, on the cool side, and wonderful for autumn/winter. I'm not a big fan of the plastic applicator - prefer Chanel's doe-foot - but it does the job. I also don't like the taste particularly, but this soon wears off! All in all, it's a lovely gloss, shiny without being over-the-top, and feeling very comfortable on the lips. It doesn't go over the lipline, but it is quite thick - I like this though, as it means the lipgloss lasts well.

i quite like juicy tubes-i never buy the full size ones, i get the kits with the four dinky tubes because i am like, a total cheapskate, but i got this in my christmas stocking one year. i don't use it often becazuse i prefer brights (i'm a little bit of an eighties-a-holic) but it's a cute berry colour that i wear quite a lot in winter when i'm paler and usually rocking darker makeup. i don't know if i'm alone in finding that reapplication of juicy tubes has to be done fairly frequently otherwise you get a pretty gross gummy feeling, or if that's just my general phobia of the feel of product. i love the smell of this one, too. like grape juice. yummy! points lost on packaging cos stuff gets in the cap if you have it floating around in your bag.

Nice berry shade, strongly pigmented. Pretty sticky and longlasting. But I'm not a fan of any lip gloss, so it's not my cup of tea. And I don't like the tube - you have to be an expert to apply it striaght from the tube. Won't buy again (because of animal testing too)

This was the first JT I purchased and has remained my favourite. More pigmented that most of the other glosses in the line, it creates a sheer, glossy berry stain mouth.

My advice is to only apply lightly. As with all JTs in my experience, too much and they become far too sticky. Applied lightly this is lovely for an evening look. Would definitely repurchase.

I dont like to wear this at all. The tube looks pretty but leaves sticky heavy, almost oily film on your lips. Very unpleasant feeling. Shade is nice cold berry colour, well pigmented but looks much lighter on the lips. I prefer tubes with a brush. Nice sweety smell. I would not buy this again, try Biotherm Glossy Shine instead.

Another excellent Juicy Tube! Raisin is a deep berry pink. Unlike most JT's it is quite pigmented. Which is good if you ask me. I love the color!! Great for everyday wear. Very pretty indeed! I love the scent, so yummy and delicious, and the packaging. Pretty good lasting power. The only downside is that all JT's are a bit sticky. However, that is not a big problem for me.

I would definitely repurchase! I love my JT's.

A lovely berry shade, quite pigmented for a gloss. My lips are naturally dark so this actually shows up on them.
Don't like the tube though- the gloss looks better when applied using a brush rather than when slicked on striaght from the tube.

My fave JT shade. I find alot of them too pale - this one is great if you're wanting to look abit more made up with a gloss, or as a gloss highlight over a lipstick (love this over Chanel's Casablanca). I find Juicy Tube's a bit sticky, but they're handy to keep in your handbag when you need an easy touchup sans mirror.

I like this juicy tube the best of any I own, mostly due to the fact that it actually has colour - a sort of deep berry pink. I'd agree with other reviewers that the colour is almost like 'Benetint for lips'. The SA who tested on me absolutely slapped it on about 3 coats thick which looked hideous - it works much better as a tinted glossy stain. I know some people find JTs sticky but I quite like the tackiness. I also find them moisturising, in contrast to most other lipsticks and glosses. I think this could become a product I will buy again and again.

"Raisin" is French for grape, not raisin... This gloss was my first Juicy Tube and it's a great wine red shade. Looks bold in the tube but goes on sheer. Brings a touch of colour to my face. There is no way you can make it go on opaque unless you pile it on with a trowel... I like this colour for winter when I'm pale. It's very sticky and that means I cannot kiss my husband when I'm wearing this, but it lasts a long time and does NOT dry out my lips (a miracle!) Therefore, thumbs way up for Raisin.

I love this color...mine is called "sweet raisin" though so I hope it's the same thing. I personally like the black currant smell - reminds me of a black currant drink concentrate called Ribena that I love when I was younger - and it's around the same color in the tube!! On me it's a beautiful sheer wearable red - I can't wear red (light-med asian skin tone with freckles...slightly tanned b/c it's summer)! This is what I wanted from beach plum & sun bronze!

Beautiful red colour! it looks like dark plum on the packaging, but it's more like a warm rich red on my lips, it suits my pale skin tone and not-so-pigmented lips very well. The colour stays on for ages which something that I like! It doesn't have that super glossy look in my opinion, but it gives just the right amount of colour when put on.

The color is FREAKING BEAUTIFUL and low-key but noticeable. This stuff is really sticky, stickier than usual glosses-- but it smells like watermelon gum, so I don't mind getting my long hair stuck in it once in awhile. This stuff is NOT recommended for kissing, your partner just might avoid you in fear of the texture. For looks alone though, it's worth it!

This is a very nice colour and scent, and I'm still satisfied with the purchase - it has served me well. However, the texture is definitely too sticky, and I was delighted to discover Clarins' line of lip glosses, which satisfy my glamour needs without having to compromise with my comfort. Some other reviewers have commented on the "strange" scent - I wish more lipglosses would smell this appetizing! Maybe it is indeed an apple juice/blackcurrant combo, although it also makes me think about Madeira grapes, the really small and dark grapes that Madeira wine is made of.

The best JT in my opinion. It's the most pigmented. It colours your lips of a sexy natural dark red and makes them literally *juicy*. A must have!

This is lovely, doesnt look or smell like raisin in the slightest.. its a dark berry pink, definitely not brown, and smells more like blackcurrent and berries. (No idea how they come up with these names.) It goes on quite sheer but coloured, and unlike a lot of other juicy tubes, this doesnt have a speck of glitter or shimmer, just shine, (great for all you anti glitter girls out there.) Personally I like glitter, so paired with a bit of Touched By Light JT this looks fabulous. :) Loves!

I'm not a massive fan of Juicy Tubes as i find them too sticky and not pigmented enough (so sick of glosses that just go on clear) but i love this one. Heavily pigmented - a gorg red colour and the taste to me is yum! like a lolly.

And for once, its not TOO sticky.

Received as part of a gift package. Looks pretty, but as a baby boomer, maybe I'm just drying out...hahahaha. Juicy tubes don't seem to last on the lips (and dirt gets into the cap in my purse), wish I could find a gloss that moisturizes and is long-lasting. I'm awaiting receipt of Jane Iredale Lip Drink, will let you know how it compares.

What was I thinking, I never ,ever wear gloss, so why did I buy this? First of all I feel cheated because 'Raisin' implies it would have warm ,brown tones , when it fact it is a very blue toned dark pink that turns fuschia/magenta on my darkish lips (not good for my NC35-42 colouring). There were no testers and it was sealed so it was risk. It is really gloopy and sticky, your lips will feel heavy, and you mouth will take on that 'half open model pout ' simply because it takes too much effort to open and close your mouth it , it's the cosmetic equivalent to Velcro. All of this I perhaps would put up with if this gloss/colour wasn't so horribly artificial looking (worse still it seems to 'pick up' the pink/bluetones of my blemishes yuck!. This might look nice on cool skin tones but really, I like a more subtle, polished looking gloss like Shiseido's.
