Review:
This is Sleek's $6.50 answer to MAC's $18 Tinted Lip Conditioner. Both are are potted balms that offer moisture, SPF15, and colour in one swipe. The Pout Paints are, however, far superior in pigmentation. In my test run, each application lasted at least 3 hours as long as I didn't eat. They also stained my lips so that fading wasn't as obvious.
The finish of the PPs are also much glossier and more akin to that of a lipgloss. I'm also happy that the finish is non-sticky! Texture wise it is creamy and moisturising.
The only thing that takes marks off is the packaging; potted balms are not the most convenient on-the-go and some would balk about the hygiene factor.
