Advantages: Great price, nice consistency, looks good

Disadvantages: Leaky packaging, limited colour selection

I purchased Rimmel Vinyl Lip in "Velocity" after reading a recommendation in a magazine that proclaimed your lip gloss an excellent product at a great price. I usually use L'Oreal Rouge Pulp, and was delighted to see Vinyl Lip priced at about $4 less at my local shop.

I am very satisfied with the consistency and look of the product, as well as the price, but I have had tremendous trouble with the packaging. The tube of lip gloss leaks constantly, and I have been unable to carry it in my purse or pocket for this reason. Right now it is closed and wrapped in a tissue upright on a counter, and the tissue is still covered in the product. Each time I use it I clean off the tube opening and the top of the wand, but the product continues to leak. Obviously, this is also messy and frustrating while applying the lip gloss.

Since this is my first purchase of the product, I'm not sure if this is a common flaw or an anomaly, but although I really like the look and price of Vinyl Lip, I would not buy it again because of the leaking tube.
