"That product brings back memories": Amanda Seyfried on the beauty essential from Mean Girls that she still loves today.

      How many Y2K beauty influences are permanently captured in Mean Girls? One might argue there’s no limit, but let me highlight a few: voluminous, tousled hair brimming with secrets; a generous application of frosted eye shadow; and, of course, pouty lips coated in high-shine gloss. While I wasn’t sure what specific product Gretchen Wieners used for her lips before the group's memorable "Jingle Bell Rock" performance or the exact shade of cherry that Karen Smith sported with her mouse ears on Halloween, I knew that I needed five products right away. After 21 years, I finally have an answer, confirmed by none other than the original Karen, Amanda Seyfried—Lancôme Juicy Tubes, the must-have glosses of the early 2000s. (Although beauty enthusiasts always had a suspicion, now we've received confirmation directly from the source.) "When I first started collaborating with Lancôme, I had the wildest flashback to the Mean Girls set because Juicy Tubes were everywhere. That product takes me right back," the actress—who has been a brand ambassador since 2019—exclusively tells Who What Wear. It makes perfect sense for the brand to involve her in its latest Juicy Kissing Web campaign, celebrating the 25th anniversary of those collectible lip products. Today, Seyfried joins an ensemble of 2000s icons, including Paris Hilton, Kelly Rowland, Ed Westwick, Hilary Duff, Rachel Bilson, and Gabrielle Union, all sharing their favorite nostalgic shades.

"The wet lip look is back," she proclaims, and suddenly, I'm eager to fill a pencil case with an assortment of pearlescent, candy-flavored glosses. If it doesn't have a sticky-sweet scent that takes me back to homeroom, I don’t want it! Beyond its mirror-like finish, Juicy Tubes feature an ultra-nourishing formula that provides moisture to the lips, allowing it to truly span generations. Juicy Tubes are not only visually appealing but also subtly collectible and functional, thanks to their remarkable staying power. "I wear Juicy Tubes every night to sleep because they're the only thing that prevents my lips from getting chapped. They act as an actual barrier," Seyfried reveals. "I never go to bed without it. Not the glitter one—the glitter is for daytime. But I'm so thankful Juicy Tubes are back because I couldn't afford them when I was younger." (I assume she uses Pure, the clear shade, for her night-time routine.)
