Great Gloss, Terrible Packaging

Tarte makes amazing lips glosses that it ruins by using cheap lids that are prone to cracking. I had the birthday suit color in a sample size I received from Sephora and the cap cracked after using a few times. I thought it was just a fluke and purchased the full size since I adored the color and it too cracked after about two months of doing nothing more than lying on my desk. The good thing is the matte gloss only needs to be applied once, so I never carry it with it ,e. I would have been seriously put out if it had leaked inside my purse. I wrapped some tape around the cap and having it sitting upright in my bathroom, so it's still usable. Some people think is a knock-off or something but it isn't. I compared to the ones they sell in the store and the packaging is identical. The plastic is thin and brittle and my guess is temperature/humidity changes caused it to spontaneously crack. I have never seen this issue with any other brand, even the cheapest stuff in the dollar store. Shame on you Tarte.
