Rimmel London Lippy

This makes me sad:

 I absolutely hate this packaging for Rimmel's new lipsticks. It offends me so much I nearly didn't put a picture of it up on the blog because I thought it would immediately lower the tone after the extremely classy Persuaders post. In real life, the high shine pink and gold with embossed crown is even worse because it is made out of the cheapest, flimsiest plastic. Ugh. Sort it out, Rimmel.

The sad thing is, I saw them while I was messing around at the high street make-up counters and the colours are actually quite nice. One in particular, called Tell No One, was very nice. But I just couldn't bring myself to buy it - maybe if it was on offer. But it was £5.99 - and I couldn't imagine getting £6 worth of enjoyment from the tacky, cheapo packaging. This is why brands should stick to simple designs, and black if they are ever in any doubt.
