Juicy Shakers in Freedom of Peach, £20, Lancome
First off, love the name. The coral shade is excellent, and the smell is even better. This isn’t ultra-pigmented, but it leaves a pretty sheen on the lips and I love the application process. Zero stick, too! ”

Lip Gloss in Preciosa, £65, Christian Louboutin Beauty

Sticky rating: 4/5
Full-On Lip Polish, £15. 50, Buxom
“This nudey-pink is right up my street. I love the way its menthol properties make your lips subtly tingle on application, and the formula has a slightly sticky nature, but not unbearably so at all. It’s more creamy than anything. ”
