Paris When it Sizzles! (Giveaway #2!)
Bonjour, everyone! Great entries for the Tresor in Love giveaway. Thank you! There’s still time to enter if you haven’t yet. Nancy, sadly, not much time to sit in cafes and we have a shoot everyday. But the weather is beautiful and every cafe with outdoor seating is packed. Also, Atelier Gal, I saw your question. What is BB cream?
We shot this morning at Place de Furstemberg in St. Germain. Our brilliant set director recreated a mini-flower market filled with roses, peonies, lilies and more. It was quite beautiful. (See above.) Dozens of tourists stopped to stare and take pictures. Then I ran to the Lancome boutique on Faubourg St. Honore (above, with picture of Julia Roberts in the window) to see what’s new and found lots of products we don’t have back in the U.S. I tried to buy the new Hypnose Precious Cells mascara for a blog giveaway, but it’s sold out already! Both black and brown are gone. (But they’ll be restocking soon.) What else was there? The Yayoi Kusama Juicy Tubes, which I mentioned the other day. They are adorable. I bought one set for a certain Lancome ambassadress who loves the natural formula and another set for a blog giveaway. (Shown above with full-size JT for scale!)
To enter, post whether or not you own a Juicy Tube or Tubes already. If so, what shade? Any random Juicy Tube thought is fine too! Idea for a shade, constructive criticism, all welcome. We’ll pick one comment. Please post by Thursday night.
I need to stop here because I have to run to part two of today’s shoot. (Actually, part three. A small crew went to the Eiffel Tower to film after the flower scene.) Enjoy the pictures, enter the giveaway and have a beautiful day!

My favorite Juicy Tube is Cherry On Top! Its a discontinued color, but I was lucky enough to find some on ebay and quickly snatched them all up! It's such a great color.. a reddish gloss with tiny gold sparkles. I hope they bring it back!

Thank you for the giveaway!
I have two Juicy Tubes at the moment: Daiquiri and Plum Freeze (and I'll be sad when they're gone, although I've had the Daiquiri since Juicy Tubes were introduced… neither shade is available any more!) The Plum Freeze gets used almost every day because I love the blue sparkles in it.

I don't have any Juicy Tubes, but I would love to try them! They look adorable in both gloss shade and packaging. I think that a peachy-pink shade would be cute though, like a cross between Touched By Light and Dreamsicle. Those flowers are gorgeous!!!!!

I don't own a Juicy Tube sadly. I've always wanted one though! The name is so perfectly evocative. When I was younger, I bought some drug-store knock-off but it was terrible- sticky, too pale, and way too glittery. To make matters worse, the tube just oozed on its own! These are much more lovely though
thanks! lucky you in paris xx

BTW, I love the Juicy Tube you sent me. It smells like watermelon, what I don't like is how sticky is it. Not good for snogging, as if I have anyone to lock lips with LOL

Hey Kerry!
In response to your question:
The double B stands for blemish balm. It all started in Korea where an actress had undergone laser surgery….and the BB cream was in fact part of her daily use as cover-up as well as treatment process to recovery. It was said to be a miracle cream.
It is a skincare/healing product combined with make-up. While regular foundation liquid does nothing to your skin , BB cream is supposed to do wonders to your skin while covering up. There are many types of BB cream. Some is said to have whitening properties, some anti wrinkle, some to even out skin tone and lighten blemish scars….etc… But all of them works as moisturizer, sunscreen, make-up base and foundation too.
It's all the rage in Asia right now, hence the market is heavily saturated and thus, you can't tell which really has those 'healing' properties. Most of which are just thick liquid foundation.
I'm surprised that you aren't aware that Lancome launched its first BB cream and I see TV & press ads everywhere! http://ateliergal.pixnet.net/blog/post/26083374

The only Juicy Tube I own is a discontinued shade that I bought a while ago. It's called Icy Pop and its bright sparkly blue. It tastes like fruity, yummy things. <3. Though I love JT, I would 100% rather the have the Juicy Gelee's that came in the little pots. That is some of the glossiest, smoothest, non-sticky, gorgeous lip gloss, I've ever used. I hauled like 9 of them at my local TJ Maxx b4 they went bye-bye for good. Right now, I'm down to my last two pots. Sad, but true.
XoXo,

I've almost used up my "Miracle", but, I've had several in the past. Juicy Tubes are the only glosses that I actually finish and repurchase! Enjoy Paris!!

I have JT Pure in Ginger Root, and I also had a full-size Hallucination that went to the great lippie stash in the sky (it was from about 2002, an MUA put it on me over Ideal lip pencil and it looked AWESOME… but I don't know what became of it). I also have countless minis from gift sets/GWPs over the years.
