I have this one in no.14 Cabana Crush ( medium fresh pink with tiny golden shimmers ) and no.9 Juicy Apple ( light red which looks sexy without make u being older ). I love them all, the colors are wonderful, makes my lips look very irresitible, and my medium fair asian skin looks more radiance :-) They are less sticky than any others stain lipgloss, last long at least 3 hrs without eating, and comfortable to wear , those plump my lips with just one stroke so i dont have to use a lot then feel heavy. Its shine enough, I dont like lipgloss that make my lips look like i just eat something full of oil n fat. I will repurchase it and looking for more colors.

This is such a beautiful lip gloss. I first found out about it through my sales rep and she just had these beautiful pinkish redish lips that complimented her skin tone so well. I always compliment her on her lips when she wears it! She told me it was Clinique juicy apple and she let me try some of hers. It looks really good on warmer skin tones. It just is the perfect pop of color on your lips. It's rather sticky, (not a bad thing) similar to MAC's lip glass's. I am going to buy my own when I get a chance to head on down to the makeup counter. :)

For some this gloss may be a bit sticky but that is what keeps it in place for hours. The gloss is non drying but I always wear a thin layer of balm under any lip gloss. This is a beautiful sheer glossy red that fades into a nice stain. There is no taste or smell. My HG lip gloss!

I was initially attracted to this gloss because of how it looks in the tube, but it kind of let me down. It's very sheer...just barely pigmented. On the plus, it's beautifully shiny and not too sticky (though I find it to be on the sticky-borderline). Sadly, it's not very long-lasting and the colour payoff isn't worth it, in my opinion. I haven't tried the newer formula with SPF, but it's my understanding that the newer formula is stickier...bummer! As well, as others have mentioned, the smell and taste are off-putting. If you're after a sheer cherry pink gloss, however, I think you could certainly do worse than Clinique's Juicy Apple. It's just not my cup of tea!

This is the first lipgloss I ever wore. I borrowed it from my aunt one day and I immediately had to have one in my possession. Yes it is not the best smelling or best tasting lipgloss. In fact it smells like disinfectant or something but...it is the prettiest sheer cherry tint you can ask for. And it is shiny and not sticky at all. I went though like four or five of tthem. love it.

I remember when i bought this gloss i loved the color, the consistency, the packaging was okay. although it tasted like absolutley like some weird chemical, and was not normal for a lipgloss. so i never used it much after that. maybe a bad batch???

I have very sensitive lips and can't usually use long-wear lipsticks because they dry out my lips too much. I also can't wear glosses with glitter in them - the glitter irritates my lips. In fact, I haven't had much luck with Clinique lipsticks in the past - many of the formulas are too drying (except for their balms). But I tried this gloss because I'm forever looking for ones without shimmer/glitter - they seem hard to find!! I have also been forever looking for a perfect cherry-red gloss.
This fits the bill perfectly - nice shine, nice color, sheer, and doesn't irritate my lips! Yay!! I don't know if I'd really call it 'long lasting' but hey, they don't really *define* exactly how long 'long lasting' is, do they? It seems to last a bit longer than a regular gloss, but certainly not all day or anything. But I have a feeling that if it did, I wouldn't be able to wear it because it would be too drying.

This is an amazing cherry (or "juicy apple") colour that tints your lips extremley well! It has no shimmer and is a plain red gloss that is ultra pigmented and has a quite impressive formula. It is Clinique so of course they are going to also think about the longterm effect which means it is SPF 15. Another little quirk which i thought was interesting is that it was made in Belgium and i don't think i have any other makeup made there. A great gloss for sure.

Ugh! This is by far the worst gloss I have ever tried! I am not sure if this went bad or something but it is so sticky that it feels like glue on the lips. Furthermore, the taste is unbearable, I get a very odd synthetic, chemical taste in my mouth from this, has NEVER happened with any other lip gloss before. Would not recommend this to anyone.

This has been my go-to color/gloss for years. I guess it is for many other people too because I can never find it in stores. It's still being sold - just sold out all the time. So, whenever I do get lucky and find it, I stock up.

Great pinky/red color that goes well with my fair/medium skin tone. It's not too sticky and stays on my lips for hours.

Unfortunately, with this kind of tube design, A LOT (and I mean a lot) of product gets wasted. Do not throw it away! When I can't reach any more of the gloss with the applicator, I cut the tube in half and then scrap all that extra product into a little container. I use a retractable lip brush for application at that point, or of course, you can use your finger.

For $14 a tube - you bet I will make the effort to get all the product out and use it.

Bought this on a whim from Parisians. I love the texture of the lip gloss. I also like that it's ultra shiny, but without sparkles or glitter. Don't get me wrong...I love the shimmer, but sometimes you just don't want to wear shimmer. Sometimes you just want shine with a hint of color. I love the sheer cherry red. I think it would compliment any skintone. I'm a DDD and it looks great on me. In addition the staying power is amazing. I know that this will be a staple in my makeup collection. I will definately continue to purchase this color gloss.

This is one of my favorite colors. It is a good way for me to be able to wear a pinky red without my already very full lips looking too huge. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 because I liked it alot better before Clinique reformulated their glosses to add SPF they weren't as sticky before as they are now, but the color is still fantastic!

I love this color, bought it twice so far! It's a great sheer pop of red, and while I've never worn it over lipstick I imagine it would enhance it quite nicely. Like some of the other reviewers, I HATE the smell of Clinique glosses but it doesn't stop me from buying them again and again.

As other reviewers have said the lovely sheer red colour was the best selling point of this gloss. Be aware that the sponge wand applicator goes thin over time and the smell of these glosses is very chemical and plastic. Not as sticky as Juicy Tubes, more moisturising than cheaper brands. Try to get when there is a GWP offer so you feel less cheated about spending tenner on a lipgloss!

I'm a l/g junkie and a big fan of Clinique l/g in particular (Superbalms are HG material), but Cherry Apple doesn't work for me, either in the new formula or the old formula. :-(


The color is gorgeous in the tube and always looks like what I'm looking for--a sheer, flushed rosy red, but for some reason, when I wear this, it looks like I've been drinking cherry Kool-Aid. It doesn't apply evenly (even though I exfoliate my lips regularly and apply this over a balm) and the color just doesn't last.


On the positive side, it does have sunscreen in it. Yay Clinique for adding sunscreen!


This, unfortunately, was not a great purchase for me. I might swap it or return it. I have, however, found that Neutrogena's MoistureShine gloss in Gleam gives me the sheer red color I've been looking for--for less than Cherry Apple costs and with more SPF in it.

I love the color of this lipgloss! It's a nice sheer red, perfect for summer time. I glides on perfectly, and lasts sometime. It is a bit sticky, but I really don't mind that.
