I love the color of this, it's the perfect MLBB. Goes on sheer (though very pigmented) and glossy, and when the gloss wears off you have a beautiful matte color. To keep it glossy, I just top it with some chapstick after the gloss goes instead of reapplying and getting too much buildup. This color will stay with your lips until you wipe it off; it did not wear on me other than the glossy finish. The tube is absolutely adorable.

I dislike lipsticks but I love this one! I would definitely repurchase this color as well as others in the same line.

I rarely rave about lipsticks but this one is different. Even though it is very shiny and has a creamier consistency than most lipsticks, it is more pigmented than your usual sheer lipstick.

I agree that the name connotes a different tone to its shade. But it's a rather pretty shade. It's a neutral pink with a slight berry-brown tone to it. I like the slick silver tube packaging too. I don't like that I just lost it, gotta buy another one. It's a good everyday lip color.

I love this sheer lipstick. The color is beautiful - I would describe it as a melon pink, or a pinky coral. Definitely a warm shade. It goes on shiny -the shine wears off quickly but the color doesn't. It leaves a nice MLBB stain until I wipe it off (Clinique's Butter Shines does not leave a stain). I like the fun scent, it reminds me of Bonne Bell lip smackers from my youth! The tube is small and silver and sleek and clicks shut so the product doesn't dry out. One lippie off for not containing sunscreen - with all we know about the need for sun protection, why would cosmetics companies make anything without it?

A... what mango? I wish there was any, 'cause I love orangey shades. The smell is the only plus, but I was hoping for something more sheer and less pigmented. Thank God I just tried this in a DG.

This is a nice rosy pink MLBB color, despite the misleading name of Mango Tango. I actually really like the scent, although I know a lot of people don't. The texture is a bit creamier and more pigmented than what I expected, seeing as many people were considering these as similar to the long-discontinued (and loved) L'oreal Shine Delices.

I should have known. I don't like regular Color Juices but I heard raves so I picked this up to try. First the plusses- the color is nice, a pinky-nude, not orange or peach, despite the awful name. Feels smooth on, leaves a slight sheen and doesn't dry out my lips. Cute packaging. The minuses- awful smell, sickly sweet. I don't even know what it's supposed to be. Why does L'Oreal continue to do this? Didn't they learn from their new HIP line how nice a lip product can smell? Guess not. It also migrated wayyyy outside my lipline within minutes and wore off blindingly fast, then it just looked sloppy. Since I'm far too lazy to use lipliners anymore, I'd rather just wear gloss which defeats the purpose of these for me.

I love this product! I didn't know what MLBB meant until I picked this up. I can't get over how much I like this drugstore product. On me, it is not peachy or orange-y at all though, it's very much a pink with plummy tones and a bit of brown. It's maybe a shade and a half darker than my natural lipcolor. Love it. Might even buy a backup, which I haven't done for anything yet.

This is a great lipstick and the first one from L'Oreal that I've ever raved about. I usually hate their overpowering perfumy scent, but this line has a lovely fruity scent that doesn't taste terrible and quickly fades. The finish is sheer and slightly shiny but very pigmented. The wear is good - I only have to reapply after eating. The silver metal tube is pretty enought to have come from the department store. Finally, this color is a warm peach that's got a bit of berry in it. It's not too orangy and looks lovely with my neutral/warm PPP complexion. Great color for the warmer weather and I'm sure I'll wear it all Sping/Summer long!

This colour went very warm on me, to the point of looking brick-orange. I couldn't do Clinique's Delovely buttershine either for this reason. Very disappointing. The smell really turns me off and reminds me of something I would wear in 7th grade, like a lemonade lipsmacker. As for the formula, it is quite sheer and has good buildable colour. Wears off quite easily. And such a big price tag for a d/s lipstick!! Another one of those regrettable, late-night drugstore visit temptings. Returning this if I can.

Mango Tango is a very beautiful pink-tawny color. Look beautiful in my lips and taste very delicious. It stay in my lips for a good time and looks very shiny too!

Color is okay--a neutral rosy brown with warmish tendencies, no shimmer and a fair amount of shine for a lipstick. The texture is sheer, slightly slippery and non-greasy-feeling. Thus, it does not last long. The scent turns me off, though, it's like an amped-up version of the Colour Juice glosses' iced tea fragrance. I really don't know why L'Oreal decided that THIS was the scent that women would like to have in not one, but TWO of their lip products, but okaaayyy...Packaging is a slimmer-than-normal silver tube without any distinguishing marks--kinda boring IMHO. Overall, this lipstick is okay, not great, and not really worth the heftier-than-normal pricetag.
