Australis Pout Paste

Australis is one of my favourite Australian brands because it’s cheap, available pretty much everywhere and tend to have pretty good quality products. I picked up this particular product from Kmart a few weeks back and thought I’d give it a try. I am a lipstick girl so I didn’t have very high hopes for this lipgloss looking products, especially considering the last lipgloss’s I tried from Australis were so sticky and unpleasant I ended up getting rid of them because I never used them.

This product is really interesting, the packaging makes it look like a lipgloss and looks like it should have one of those ends that you squeeze the product out of but it doesn’t. You use a wand to control you’re application. The tube also includes instructions which I think is a nice touch because most products just have the instructions on the box which no one ever keeps. Unfortunately it doesn’t include the colour name, I think I have Berry Nice or Pash Me Pink. You have two possibilities with this product, a lipstick or a gloss effect.

The top picture (1) is the lipstick application and the bottom (2) is the gloss. I like both applications. You can have a lighter less noticeable colour or a really bold vibrant hot pink. 

The consistency is not very nice, especially if you don’t really like lipgloss like me, but the colour payoff is amazing.

This costs $12.95 and can be found at stores like priceline, Kmart, Big W, Target etc. and it comes in only 3 colours, Berry Nice, Loves Bites and Pash Me Pink.

It is pretty longwearing unless you start eating and drinking but good luck finding something that does last when you are and that doesn’t cost the moon.

So to round up;

Pros

• Controllable application with the wand.
• Great colour payoff.
• Low cost.
• Available anywhere in Australia.

Cons

• Sticky, lipgloss like consistency.
• Only 3 colour choices.

More pros than cons in my book so well worth the buy if you want a lipgloss or lipstick at a low price in one or more of those 3 shades.
