I have a love-hate relationship with lip gloss. Always have, and probably always will. I’m not sure if it’s because the sometimes sticky substance transports me back to my Limited Too days, or if it’s because I think a matte lip look suits my personal makeup style best.I also blame the high school teen dramas I grew up watching, which almost always featured a mean girl with a high-shine lip.  Either way, gloss can go really well or really bad for me.But as a beauty editor, I’m always up for a makeup challenge, so  when the O.G Lancôme Juicy Tubes recently hit our virtual desks, I decided to give lip gloss another try. The first challenge in debunking my “lip gloss = teen villain” hypothesis was deciding what shade of Juicy Tube I wanted to wear. Should I go bold and slather Framboise all over my pout for a glossy, hot pink finish that a Cher Horowitz type of girl would be jealous of? Or should I keep it low key and opt for Simmer, a peachy gold gloss reminiscent of a Gretchen Wiener type. Nah. I decided on the shade that I felt like hit the sweet spot in between: Marshmallow Electro. This light pink gloss with a hint of gold glitter gave me a perfect wash of pigment without being too loud. I also liked it because I felt it matched my lips’ natural tone.
