This gloss has served its purpose this Summer (not that there was one) :D by keeping my lips feeling moisturised. I change lip glosses all the time, so that is the only reason I wouldn't buy this product again; because I like trying new ones. Maybe one day I will find a lip gloss that will become my best friend but it hasn't happened quite yet.
Sticky, I personally loved the scent from the gloss, but this does fade away. My hair has incredible staying power to this gloss, then again I do have long hair. This gloss does what it says- its hydrating. It doesn't say its going to last however many hours long so I didn't expect it to. I think I prefer lip glosses with wands though, so yeah, not disappointing at all, just not something I have been amazed by to go out to buy it again.

What was i thinking all those years ago when i bought this product? I am on a no buy at the minute and was looking for a pink lip stick to wear with so purpley eye shadow. Unfortunately all my pinky lipsticks are more brown toned and weren't suitable. I stumble across this and decided it was probably the best option in the circumstances.

I don't want to be competely negative. It lasts well and is moisturising. Inspite of the glitter it does not irritate my very dry lips.


However, the glitter is just too much. Maybe it all boils down to personal taste. When I bought this I thought it looked quite natural. The actual colour is quite natural but I hate the amount of glitter in it now. Perhaps I will enjoy this more in the Summer when I am wearing TM and nothing much else. I also hate the flavour! I'm not a teenager! I don't need my cosmetics to taste like I don't know what! Bubble gum?

I will continue to use this however because this year my aim is to use up as much makeup as I can and buy little or nothing new!

My absolute fave lip gloss of all time!!! I always have 3 on the go at once - 1 in my handbag, 1 in my everyday make-up kit & 1 in my special occassions make-up kit. Everytime I wear this I always get comments on how sparkly, glossy, full my lips look. I love the smell, the easy squeeze tube, the light pink & of course the gorgeous sparkle. It is a sticky gloss, but I don't mind that at all. Quite expensive at $50AU each, but oh so definitely worth every dollar.

I'm so devastated I left this in someone's car! This has to be my all time favourite Juicy Tube. I've used lots of other types before, and nothing quite has the colour and the effect of the Lychee. It stays on through drinks and everything! Being a true fan of lychees also, I must say, it does live up to expectations! Also, it is not as pigmented as some other colours, like Fraise, and that's great, because I'm not a fan of darker lips.

I really like Lychee. I love the scent, and although the tint is slight, it looks nice with my complexion. There is glitter, but it's really not a problem, because I think it adds to the effect. Really pretty. I don't think it's as sticky as MAC lipglasses, which I also like.

My friend gave me this as a present and it has been the only thing I've worn on my lips this summer, so I might as well review it.



Lychee comes in a very portable plasticky tube with a squeeze applicator. It's a very girly, saturated pink gloss; not the first color I'd reach for myself, but it does perk up my pale skin. It has tiny flecks of micro-shimmer, but it's sheer. Being a true princess pink, it's definitely on the "young" side (I can just about get away with it at 25) but it's a good look for spring/summer and subtle enough for work.


The gloss itself is thick and rich, but it verges towards being annoyingly sticky, especially on those windy days where it seems to attract my long hair like a magnet. The staying power is good enough, although it normally needs to be re-applied after meals. It's described on the tube as "hydrating", and I have to say, my lips do feel like they're in better condition since wearing this in lieu of lipstick, but then again, that might be true of any gloss. The taste and smell are pleasant and not overpowering. I have no idea what lychees are like, but I imagine it's supposed to emulate them in some subtle way.


All in all, not the most amazing lip gloss I've ever tried. Dior's "Lychee Rose" is a similar color but more pigmented and much less sticky. I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase another Juicy Tube anytime soon, but this one has served me fine for Summer '09.

Lychee is a pretty colour but the glitter is overwhelming and will make you look like a teenager! :o(
It's very sticky and has decent staying power.

I bought this in a full size tube on impulse when it first came out. The colour is so pretty but it didn't really show on my lips. Also, it made my lips sting and the sparkles felt gritty like I had crumbs stuck to the gloss. The smell put me off and I found the consistency to be really sticky. Definitely not one of my favourites.

I absolutely love this color and wear it all the time. The Juicy Tubes applicator is easy to use and travels well, this color is full of mulit-faceted sparkle and tastes nice too! I have fair skin and Lychee is my absolute favorite, it has the right amount of pink punch and plenty of sparkle. I always get compliments and people asking what brand it is and where I got it. Yes it can be a bit sticky but that doesn't bother me so much anymore, its best not to goop it on too heavily, you really don't need to. I like that its thick and keeps my lips moisturized in cooler weather too. I took off one lippie because it can be a bit pricy. Love it!

A few years ago this was one of my fave lip glosses. The colour tint and the sparkle were just right for me. It was one of my everyday items I always had on me. I don't know why I stopped using it, but I started to use it again. The gorgeous colour and sparkle are exactly the same, but it feels alot different. It doesn't go on as nicely as before, it's seems stickier. And afterwards when I take it off my lips if I don't remember to slap on some chapstick my lips get dry. They've now started to crack at the corners. I definitely don't remember experiencing this before! Surely this is a new Lancome formulation that is not agreeing with me. Will not repurchase.

Very very pretty color, lots of shimmer, smells and tastes like yummy gingersnap cookies to me. I like the scents and flavors of JT as much as the looks, so I aim to include the scent in my reviews. I try to find out what they are before I purchase any online, as a guide.

Yes the colour is pretty, the smell is nice and it stays on forever. BUT... the colour isn't strong enough for me, I need lipliner or a colour underneath, the glitter affects the consistancy so that you don't get that wonderful smooth effect that we all love juicy tubes for and the glitter just makes you feel like you need to exfoliate your lips! Don't get this one, it's not as good as the others, get another one instead, peche for example!

One word: Yummy!
It smells great, looks great (really plumps up my lips), has great staying-power, and lots to last you!
My only qualm: Bit too sticky.

Very thick, sticky gloss thats clear with pink/blue sparkles. I love the staying power of this lipgloss, however the glitter in it is too gritty for my liking. Feels like sand on my lips :(
Pretty packaging though, but overall i do think its a bit overpriced.
One good thing about it is that the 15ml tube lasts a long time (almost a year for me)

I like it as it's more pigmented than other JT and the pink actually shows up on the lips. The staying power is pretty gd as it's sticky.
But i wouldn't wear it on windy days, my hair will keep getting stuck on my lips :/

I have used loads of lipglosses and have had this lipgloss for a long time now and might need to throw it away soon and buy a replacement! Since buying it I was hooked on Clinique Glosswear for Lips but have reverted back to the trusty juicy tube!

Firstly, I love the colour and the scent. All the juicy tubes smell slightly different, some more artificial than others. When I went to buy a lipgloss I was looking for a neutal gloss which didn't have too much colour but didn't want a clear gloss. This was the perfect shade and smells gorgeous, very much a candy kind of smell- tastes ok too! I hate it especially when the gloss tastes and smells of that waxy lipsticky scent that you get with some brands. I like this applied on its own or over lipsticks. For me, it enhances the staying power of your lipstick and lasts for ages! No need to reapply unless you've eaten or had a drink! Lips don't dry out and because you don't need to reapply the product lasts for so long. It IS on the sticky side and you might find your hair sticking to it...but at the same time because it is so sticky, it doesn't wear away as quickly. I can only see it as a positive than a negative aspect.

The price is good too, I think they are about £12 and it might seem expensive but you don't need to buy another gloss for a long time. I have this for 2 years now and it's nowhere near finished...but like I said before, I might need to throw it out and replace it soon as I do believe the shelf life for glosses is around 2 years. However, because it's in a tube with a slanted tip (I apply using my fingers rather than place on my lip) it's a lot more hygenic than a brush applicator.

YES! I agree with most of you!! The most delicious colour, scent &... staying power.
It's perhaps a bit sticky,...but it's the best long lasting lipgloss i have ever tried! Alone or on top of another lippie.
I hope they will NOT discontinue it!!!
I love it!!!

It's a pretty colour, however I just find it a bit too glittery and sticky unfortunately! I do use it to highlight (just in the centre of the lips) some lipsticks and less glossy lipglosses and it works well for that.

Lychee is probably my favorite Juicy Tube. The color is the perfect pink color. It has micro shimmer in it. Though it is definitely not too shimmery for everyday use. I love the scent, soo fruity and delicious. Lasting power is pretty good and I love the packaging.
I will definitely repurchase Lychee!

For reference: I am a pale blonde with blue eyes.

Love love love this one. The color is just perfectly pink and the smell/taste is delicious. It smells very sweet, like Fristi (that's a drink in Holland). It's sticky, but it's stays on quite long. Not my favourite lipgloss but the color is just so nice.
