Sleek Pout Polish

Hi everyone! Hope it's been a great week so far. :) 

I've been AWOL for a few days but it's with good reason! I've had my nose buried in a good book & pretty much halted everything else until I read the last page. ^_^*

A while back I posted about the Lakme Lip Love Conditioner (click here for the post!) & how much I loved it. Alas, I'd thought I'd never find them again, until now... Sleek you've come to my rescue! 

Sleek Pout Polish is a nifty little pot of tinted lip balm that does a great job in moisturising lips. This particular colour is called 'Electro Peach' & bears a close resemblance to my Lakme Lip Love Conditioner in 'Siren'. The good thing about this balm is that it is nicely pigmented - lighter than a lipstick but more pigmented than your average lip balm. 

The ingredients list a few parabens which might deter some people. It does have super moisturising & lip smoothing ingredients like jojoba oil, shea butter, sweet almond oil & avocado oil. It has SPF 15 which is a must & smells yummy, like vanilla.

My Verdict:
Would I re-purchase? Well, it's a really good balm, something that I would use daily. It's pretty cheap too, so why not!

Lakme Lip Love Conditioner VS Sleek Pout Polish

Ah, so on to the crux of the matter - which is better, Lip Love Conditioner or Pout Polish? I had originally purchased the Pout Polish because it was so similar in colour & texture to the Lip Love Conditioner & I was hoping it would be a good replacement. 

  
Ok, so my camera DID NOT capture how similar these colours are, it looks completely off in this picture, so I've included some swatches to compare.

The Sleek Pout Polish has more of an orange pigment compared to the Lakme Lip Love Conditioner, which has a pinker undertone. Consistency-wise, The Pout Polish is much lighter & sheer, needing much more product to get  better colour. The Lip Love Conditioner, on the other hand is more opaque which ensures a more pigmented lip. Both smell of vanilla (coincidence?) and both have good moisturising properties.

BUT... I do like the Lip Love Conditioner more because it's a better product over all, & comes in a cute pot!!  ^_^*

Lakme Lip L♥ve Conditioner

I didn't really intend on purchasing a lip conditioner, but the sales assistant at the Lakme counter was pretty persistent on showing me every single product in the Lakme range. There's only so many times that I can say 'NO' to a sales assistant before feeling guilty, so, being the lip gloss addict that I am, I relented and bought this:

Lakme Lip L♥ve Conditioner in 'Siren'.

Sadly, even though I peeled off the hygiene seal extra gently the metallic paint on the lid came off. :( Boo hoo.

It's a lovely, peachy, coral colour and comes in a super cute, heart-filled pot! When I first applied Lakme Lip L♥ve Conditioner... it was L♥VE! It glides on smoothly, like butter & has a yummy vanilla scent!

One coat of Lakme Lip Love Conditioner...

One coat of this lip conditioner gives a pretty & flushed coral lip colour. It can be layered on for a better colour, but beware! Too much & your teeth will be nicely glossed too. ^_^

Layer on more for a richer colour

The Lip L♥ve Conditioner is really moisturising & doesn't have a greasy or sticky feeling. It makes my lips feel baby soft & has a pretty colour- what more could I ask for? 


In addition to 'Siren' there's 3 more colours available: 'Hottie', 'Charmer' & 'Flirt'.

Why, oh, why did I not buy all 4 colours!????? I haven't been able to find these lip conditioners in South Africa yet. Ah, I should have listened to that sales assistant when she insisted advised me to take all...


My verdict?
Lakme Lip L♥ve Conditioners are ridiculously cheap, smell great, are sooooo cute, have pretty colours & deeply moisturises. It's an irresistible combination, I tell you! Thumbs up, for me!


My Rating:
★★★★☆

Minus 1 star because it's not easily available.

Price:
I can't remember the price! It must have been something like Rs. 230 (approx. ZAR 34!!!!). Mind you, if you live in SA & do manage to find these lip conditioners, expect the price to be 3 times higher.


That's it for now... Thanks for stopping by! :)
