I'm not really sure if I should call this a lipstick or a lip gloss, but whatever it is, it's amazing. It's so pigmented and smooth to apply! I like the selection of colors, although I tend to stay with the nude and berry colors. The applicator is nice and it deposits just enough color to last me for a long time. The next time I need a good berry colored gloss, this is for sure the brand I'll use.

I like this lip gloss and/or lipstick. Well like everyone has stated "it's a HYBRID". I like the fact that it comes in a nice ice cube container and the texture of the gloss itself is very smooth and comfortable (NOT STICKY). I have them in Plastique Pink and Vinyl Chic and i love them both. I use them everyday at work depending on my mood. On days that i want to look polished yet natural, I use the nude colour and on days that i don't want to do any makeup but still want an uplifted and fresh look, I use the pink one. Either way they last forever as you only need a small bit kuz it's very pigmented and a little goes a longggg way! I've had mine for ages! Highly recommend getting them considering you like the colour selection and a "hybrid" sort of lip product. EDIT: I tossed them out. I really dsiliked the smell and they looked wayyy too plasticy.

I have this in Vinyl Chic and absolutely LOVE it! The texture is creamy but the look is glossy (but not a lot) - indeed vinyl. The texture alone makes this a nearly HG lip gloss. This to me is more like a hybrid - a cross between a conditioner, balm, lipstick, and gloss. The look is very natural. I have very pigmented Asian lips so Vinyl Chic is sort of a MLBB nude look. I do think it is just a tad bit too brown/mauvey. Some people hate the scent (comparable to prunes?) but I LOVE it!! I have yet to try the other shades...the only thing holding me back is the price tag and the extremely small amount of product provided! It's so cute though!

The Vinyl Chic shade is very nice. It is not as sticky as the Lancome (I like sticky!) and you have to use a little lipbrush to apply it and I'm basically lazy. However, this colour nicely tops off most any pink, berry or brown lipstick that I own. I think that for the $$$ you get more product in the Juicy Tubes.

such a great gloss! I have tried literally every lipgloss and this is definitely one of the best...except it's a little expensive. it's got a nice light feel and great pigment, so the color goes on smooth and very evenly. really has a lot of color for a gloss...and has just the right amount of shine. one of my favorites from estee lauder!

My grandmother buys Estee Lauder products by the truck loads, so so she is always getting "gift with purchase" kind of deals which she usually gives to me. She gave me this Pure Color Lip Vinyl set that is four cubes stuck together instead of just one. I'm not sure if these are sold like that elsewhere or if it was just a limited edition GWP....
That being said, I love them. My set contains (from left to right) Plastique Red, Plastique Pink, Vinyl Chic, and Wet Rose. Plastique Red is red with hot pink undertones, Plastique Pink is cute natural pink, Vinyl Chic is a nude pinky brown, and Wet Rose is beautiful pink-rose.
These are all very good quality with nice pigmentation and a wonderful super shiny finish. Hence the names. They are kind of thick, but not sticky, and apply well with my (free) Estee Lauder Lip Brush. Lol. It lasts a long time because of it's consistency. It's the perfect balance between lipgloss and lipstick. The colors look more intense in the cubes than they are on your lips, but you still get a nice color.
I selected "yes" for "would you buy this product again?" because they are *worth* repurchasing...but I just don't think I will. This is only because because I have a million other lipcolors that I use more often.
These lipglosses are expensive, but you are getting very high quality products, so I think it is worth it. I would recommend this product.

Tried this in 'Plastique PLum' which was part of a pallette I got from my mom. A nice cross between lipstick and gloss so there's no need to carry separate lippie AND gloss. High-wattage shine. Non-goopy. And stays on unlike Pure Color gloss. Packaging rocks, too. :) Will purchase full-size next.

I have this in Wet Rose and Vinyl Iris. I really like the texture because it's not sticky. It goes on very smooth and my lips feel very moisturized. I love the cute little cube it comes and it comes with a small brush for application. A little bit pricy but worth it cause a little goes a long way. Can't wait to try more colors.

I love this product. I bought the iris color and it is a really pretty shade of pink. It looks so silky on my lips and feels so soft. It has a nice smell too. The packaging is way cute (a cube with a mirror inside), and it has a nice little brush included as well.

EL Lip Vinyls are really underrated. The colors are beautiful and they really last. I've been wearing it since early this morning and my lips are still moist and have tons of color left on them (even after coffee). I am impressed with the intensity of the pigment--it's almost like a stain. And the texture is nice...very thick like a cross between a gloss and a lipstick, but not sticky. I love the color I'm wearing (Vinylberry). I'd highly recommend it!

For this price I expected ALOT more staying power. This stuff is very sheer gloss, not sticky, and it must be reapplied every 30 minutes. Eat or drink?? Forget about it and expect to keep this crap on!! It does come in very pretty colors... I was looking for an iridescent purple or pink and bought fuschia vinyl and pink vinyl. The colors looked great on the tube and even on the back of my hand, but putting this stuff on lips.. it loses alot of its color and just won't stay put. For 22.00 a tube, completely not worth it. The only reason I gave it 2 lippies is because the packaging is pretty, and it feels good on, those 5 minutes it actually stays. I would recommend Victoria's Secret glosses or even Wet N Wild before this. They're a bit sticky but just as pretty and last alot longer!!

Gave packaging a 2 as I had to return my brand new Plastique Pink because the clip was broken. Also the mirror fell off the Vinyl Berry after a week. I got two different colors and besides the packaging, I am relatively happy with this product. Gloss has a good bit of color and is not too sticky. Lasts pretty long as well. Will not repurchase as the price is too high for what you get.

I purchased Pure Color Lip Vinyl in Wet Rose and I LOVE IT! My girlfriend had it and we are both blonde and fair but in different degrees. She thought it would look good on me and it did. A friend had given it to her. I went to the Estee Lauder counter and tried it and immediately bought it. It wasn't cheap but the pot is really unique and I have gotten as many compliments on the lip pot as the color. It needs no liner, lasts a long time and doesn't feel tacky. I will definitely buy it again but maybe not the same color... the wet rose is quite bright and does definitely brighten your face. It is fine everyday in the summer but in the rest of the seasons more muted colors will be better. I hope they have enough choices!

I just got this in Plastique Pink which goes on lighter than it looks. I like it, but still have to lighten it a tad in the middle. Stays on well, doesn't feel too thick or sticky and smells nice. I adore the cube it comes in, however, I find the gloss a little ho-hum and won't go out of my way to purchase again.

I first received this as a GWP, then later went and purchased the full size. (To date I haven't finished the gwp one and the new one is still un-used.. hehe).
This is a very pretty gloss. The color is translucent but very flattering on my NC30 skin tone. It's a brownish pink color. It applies very well with a lip brush but it isn't very long lasting and does get a bit tacky. However, it feels very comfortable on the lips and the scent is pleasant.
The full size comes in the cute cube with a mirror in the lip half of the cube. There's also a mini lip brush included. It's a nice little brush :) Not too big, not too small.

I just got March's JANE magazine and on page 129, they feature an 8-page pictorial with a model wearing Estee Lauder "Pure Color Lip Vinyl" in Copper Fantasy. It looked so great that I ran out and bought it immediately. My skin color is similar to the model's so I thought it would look good on me too. Plus the color screams summer which I'm yearning for. Once home, I realized it looks nothing like the one the model wears on all 8 pages. I think she's wearing some sort of lip liner to make it look that good. But of course they don't list that. Anyhow, no matter how many coats I put on, it still didn't give much color or the color of the model's. It's a clear gloss with just a tinge of copper. Very subtle. Who knows? Maybe Jane lied and that's not what she's wearing.

I absolutely adore this stuff. I bought a gift set at Lazarus that had 8 different shades in it, and I love every single one of them. When I first got it I figured I'd be disappointed by at least a few of them, but all of them compliment me wonderfully and look beautiful when mix and matched. I love everything about them, the smooth texture, the durability, the high pigment, the smell, the packaging, and the glossiness.
I will admit its a bit of a pain to take these with you on the go, but its worth it. This was my first ever Estee Lauder purchase, and I hope everything they offer is as good as these are! I'll be buying these again!

I got the holiday set of all 8 of these adorable glosses. And I'm amazed to say that I actually love them all! They're great to mix and match, they smell great, the pigment is very long lasting (even once the shine of the gloss wears off). The pot style is the only thing I don't like about these, a wand applicator is mush easier and more sanitary. But over all I love these!
