Review: Sleek Makeup Pout Polish "Perfect Plum"

I'm sure you've seen a few of the British bloggers reviewing these, but I thought I'd add my thoughts as well.

These are currently available from selected Superdrug stores for £3.91 and come in 4 shades. Each pot contains 10g of product. Contains Shea butter, Sweet Almond oil, Avocado oil and SPF15.

I can't compare these to the MAC tinted lip conditioners as I don't own any of those.

I was a little nervous of trying it when I saw how dark the "Perfect Plum" was. As you can see from the photo, it's quite deep. My camera had issues with focusing for the open photo as the Pout Polish is just so glossy. The actual polish is richly pigmented so it's easy to add far too much, but it can be sheered out to a very natural look. I used a lip brush to apply some to my lower lip then used my ring finger to smooth it over the bottom and top lip to give a sheer colour.

The light, gel texture to these seems to melt into your lips rather than sitting on the top, which helps the natural look. I'm wondering if it's designed to melt around body temperature. It doesn't look like there is a product on your lip when you go for the sheer look. I'm sure it would look more like traditional lip gloss if you went for a heavier application.

This has pretty decent lasting power on my lips. I was expecting it to only last 10 minutes at the most, but I got an hour or so of colour out of each application. The conditioning effect lasted much longer, even after the colour had gone.


There is nothing on my lips on the left hand photo, on the right I have applied the Pout Polish.

The taste of vanilla is quite non-offensive to me, perhaps a little strong in this though. The wide, shallow packaging is fantastic! It means that if you do apply with your finger, you're not going to be digging your nails into product once you've got a little way into the pot.
