If you’re someone who loves a hint of colour, a burst of shine, and that effortless “clean girl” glow — the new essence JUICY BOMB collection might just become your next beauty obsession.
essence has always nailed the sweet spot between fun and affordability, and this launch is no exception. Available now in Malaysia, the JUICY BOMB range brings summer-in-a-tube energy — think fruity scents, high-gloss finishes, and skin-loving vegan formulas that feel as good as they look.
Here’s our hands-on first impression of both the JUICY BOMB Shiny Lipgloss and JUICY MELON Tinted Lip & Cheek Balm, two products that promise to make beauty easy, playful, and fresh.
essence JUICY BOMB Shiny Lipgloss – Shine Without the Stickiness
Let’s start with the star of the show — the JUICY BOMB Shiny Lipgloss (RM9.70). Having tested all three shades — Lovely Litchi, Witty Watermelon, and Poppin’ Pomegranate — and we are happy to report that they deliver exactly what the name promises: glossy, juicy lips with zero stickiness.
Consistency & Texture:
The texture is silky-smooth, gliding effortlessly across the lips without that heavy or tacky feel most glosses have. It’s comfortable for long wear and gives your lips a soft, hydrated finish that catches the light beautifully.
Colour & Fragrance:
Each shade comes with its own light fruity scent — subtle, refreshing, and never overpowering. The colour payoff is sheer but buildable, making it perfect for layering over your favourite lip tint or wearing solo for that minimalist, everyday glow.
Performance:
It stays glossy for hours, leaving lips looking plump and juicy even after sipping on coffee. Plus, it’s 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and crafted with a clean beauty formula — all wins in our book for an affordable vegan lip gloss under RM10.
essence JUICY MELON Tinted Lip & Cheek Balm – Two-in-One Glow
Next up is the JUICY MELON Tinted Lip & Cheek Balm (RM22.70) — a multitasking gem that reacts to your skin’s pH level for a personalised tint. The colour transformation happens in seconds, giving you a natural flush that looks like it came from within.
Texture & Feel:
The balm starts off creamy but melts beautifully into the skin, leaving behind a soft finish that’s hydrating without being greasy. It’s incredibly blendable and layers well over skincare or under foundation.
Colour & Scent:
With a light watermelon-berry fragrance, this fruity balm instantly uplifts your mood. A single swipe gives a barely-there pink, while two or three layers deepen the hue for a bolder, rosy finish — ideal for that quick morning routine.
Versatility:
Perfect for travel or touch-ups, this tiny balm doubles up as both a tinted cheek and lip balm — making it a smart addition to any minimalist makeup kit.
Final Thoughts: Fun, Fresh, and Feel-Good Beauty
Both products embody essence’s philosophy to “Make Beauty Fun” — approachable, trendy, and cruelty-free. The formulas are vegan, free from microplastic particles, and even come in recyclable packaging (the lip gloss tubes are 90% recyclable!). So if you’re searching for the best affordable lip gloss in Malaysia or a natural tinted balm that suits all skin tones, the essence JUICY BOMB collection definitely deserves a spot in your makeup pouch.
