I love my vinyl gloss!!! I think it's really nice. I find it doesn't make my lips dry like other previous lip glosses have and it comes in lots of different colours. The one I have is called Be Famous and it's number 290. Don't be put out by how bright it looks. The packaging is really good. I really recommend this gloss!!!!

Okay so I am not sure whether I shall but another Vinyl lipgloss again, because it has its own pros and cons...however, I've been using 'em for a while now so I guess...

the thing with this type of lipgloss is that it lasts. It is sticky, and depending on the shade (more pearlescent ones, especially, have this bad habit--) you might get a little extra frost on your lips; they can also look weird given that some shades tend to emphasize the crevasses on the lips, and all that jazz.

however, given the price-quality aspect, i guess the Vinyl lipgloss is quite ok in this department. I don't like that they're sticky, but that's what makes them last longer than Maybelline or L'Oreal (my lipgloss HG is Lancome, but i can't always shell €28 if you know what I mean....)

I have a little suggestion to add, and perhaps this is going to help EVERYONE struggling those 'residues' on the lips, at the outer corners or the inner rims of the lips. It happens with many lipgloss..es (is it correct? :D) and after a lot of struggle, I have finally discovered what the deal with them is.

These are just foundation residue, ladies. Trust me, just make sure you wipe any trace of foundation/concealer/powder off your lips before applying lipstick and the lipgloss (or just the gloss, depending on your routine). The formulation of the foundation, given that it contains powder, will not react well with the gloss/lipstick and will create those white-ish traces on your lips that don't look well at all.

It is not the gloss' fault; try doing what I suggested and you'll see ;) it's saved me a lot of headaches and mirror panic over the years.

Other than that..yep, that's my review.

Love this gloss! Doesn't have a sticky feel, is pigmented enough for me and is affordable. Doesn't last that long but most glosses don't for me anyway!

I bought this in Paparazzi, it's a really pretty peachy pink with a nude/beige undertone to it.
I found that after I first applied it, it settled a lot in the creases of my lips. And the pigmentation wasn't... as I hoped it would be :( It looked like a normal lipgloss with a slight peachy tint to it :(
Although,
Wearing it over a light peachy, or a nude lipstick would work awesome with it though! The pigmentation shows up a lot better :)
I actually use Rimmel's Hide the Blemish concealer in Golden Beige. It works REALLY well! It's like a nude, slightly peachy lip :) Works awesome with a grey/black or brown/gold smokey eye :)
Personally, I think this lipgloss would be better with a brush tip instead of the usual sponge tip on most lip glosses, it'll apply much better and it won't soak up most of the lipgloss when you apply it :D
So, I'd recommend this to anyone who wants just like, a slight shimmer to their lips, or if they need a lipgloss to wear over their lipstick, this stuff works pretty good :)

I tried these out a while ago. I brought 2, used up 1 already the other is still half full. Definitely wont repurchase. The 2 colours that I got was a little on the frosty side, fades quickly, and it has a funny scent after 1 week of opening.
These were between $5AUD-$10AUD I believe, I cant remember brought a long time ago. At that price range in Australia, there is a ton of better ones out there.

I love this lipgloss, it's one of my favorites.
It's not sticky or runny and looks so shiny! Not too sparkly, just right.
I'd definitely buy this again!

I LOVE THIS. It has a really great color pay off.This brand is always on sale for like 399 so it won't break the bank. I plan on getting more colors, I swatched a few while at the drugstore and they all seem as pigmented as fashion Icon which is great as there is nothing worse than a bright red gloss that when put on your lips just looks clear.For me i think these are just as good at the l'oreal ones for alot less money

I am in love with the shade I brought ''Pin Up 190'' a hot pink shade that is super pigmented. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it showed up on my lips and how well it goes with my skin-tone (NC25). One swipe is enough for me, but you can definitely build up the colour to get it more intense. This shade doesn't have any glitter or shimmer, and is a creme finish. Doesn't stay on for very long so reapplying is needed. Not too sticky on my lips. :)

I really like this gloss. I bought it based solely on the colour (fashion icon) and the colour payoff is really good on this one. It's super shiny, but not too sparkly, it isn't sticky, and it smells great. The only thing is that you need a mirror when applying- it's not a colour you can just slap on and go.

I was at my local Shoppers Drug Mart and found that this product was on sale for $3.99 CAD. I decided to try these lip glosses due to the fact that it was on sale and also since I tend to love Rimmel lip products. I bought two of these vinyl lip glosses, 1 in the shade "Keep a Secret" and 1 in "Paparazzi". In the tube "Keep a Secret" seemed like a really pretty pink shade and the "Paparazzi", a nude sparkly shade. When I tried them on my lips, they weren't as pigmented as I hoped. The only pro is that they're not sticky and they smell pretty good. Maybe if I bought a brighter shade the pigment would've been better.

Overall, I think these are substandard glosses, even for drugstore, and that you can find much better glosses in the same price range or less (Revlon, Sally Hansen).


One reason why is that these are thin and watery. Yes, that means that it's non-sticky but it also usually means that it evaporate much faster. This is the type of gloss that you need to re-apply every five minutes. That isn't a problem by itself since most women like applying gloss but most dont have the time to stop what they are doing every 5 min. to keep re-applying. I certainly forgot to do so since I was used to thicker, more gel-like glosses and I got a small crack on my lips for the first time in like a yr since my lips had dried out. NOT GOOD.

Then there is the scent/taste. It has an artificial orangey strong smell that reminds of childhood drinks like Sunny Delight and Tang. That seems pleasant at the beginning but the scent is so strong that it becomes nauseating after a while. Way too STRONG for a gloss IMO.

I threw the 2 that I have in the garbage where they belong.

I got this in 'Demure'. It's a very good colour if you want a "I'm going to die in 5 minutes" look. Otherwise, steer clear.


The texture is pretty runny, and it applied very sheer without layering. The scent is really strong, though not extremely offensive.


The main reason why I gave this 1 lippie is because I simply couldn't feel my lips after applying even a single thin layer. They got all tingly and numb. Not good at all.

I bought it in the colour East End Snob, which in the tube looks like a very light tan-nude colour, with some shimmer. I picked it up for about $4 at Shoppers Drug Mart. I am on the fence with this lip gloss. I really wanted to like it. I bought it when I was really into nude-coloured lip products, but I think this particular one just did not suit my skin tone at all. It looked too frosty and washed out my skin. The shine, however, is excellent! It was the perfect amount, too, and the gloss still hydrated and stayed on for a fair amount of time without being very sticky. Personally, I like the smell of these glosses. I find it subtle but still a nice addition to the product. But since the colour did not work for me, I would not repurchase it in East End Snob again.

I got Eastend snob, the colour is suppose to be a pinky nude colour but on my lips it's way too pink then nude. The formula is streaky and it feels a little tacky. The smell is also pretty strong. It's an okay lip gloss, not one of the best but will do if want a heavy application that is shiny. I probably won't buy this again as I do have sensitive lips and I find it does irritate my lips.

I've got Steal My Kisses.. I love it! I've been experimenting with different glosses to find the perfect one. This gloss is so long lasting, shine is perfect (it doesnt look overdone), feels good (moisturizing in a way), it's not sticky. This gloss is just perfect! Defenitely gonna buy it again.
