Sleek Makeup Bare Minimum Pout Polish- review, photos & LOTD

Hi dear readers,
 You have read till now my reviews about Au Naturel palette & Suede blush. Now I'm going to review Bare Minimum Pout Polish which is a part of Sleek Makeup Nude collection. This is an ideal lip pout to give the perfect complement to nude lips.

Bare Minimum Pout Polish



Bare Minimum Pout Polish is a tinted lip conditioner which gives a glossy, transparent look to the lips.

What Sleek Makeup says...

Sleek MakeUP’s Nude collection wraps up your autumn beauty look in one warm, earthy and wearable collection. Bare Minimum Pout Polish is a glossy nude with Jojoba, avocado and sweet Almond oils, ensuring that chapped lips are a thing of the past. 

Ingredients


Weight

10g

Price
£4.29

Packaging


Bare Minimum Pout Polish released by Sleek Makeup, comes in the same large, flat pot as the normal Pout Polishes do.

Shade



To see In the pot, Bare Minimum looks like a beigey-pink neutral shade with a hint of brown, but once you actually swatch it, it applies very sheerly and transparent. It's completely right at its name Bare Minimum.

Texture



The texture is too moisturizing and sheer like a lip conditioner.

In the mirror of my own experience

After opening the pout, I love its minty vanilla smell. The only problem is with it always using a lip brush for applying on the lips otherwise finger application can be unhygienic. But the effect of this Pout Polish on the lips is good. It gives an effect of almost nude lips. The natural colour of the lip shows through instead, but is muted by the slight beige tint. The Pout Polish leaves a glossy, high-shine finish that I think is quite pretty. It has SPF15 which is great. I have applied it on my lips with a light smokey eye makeup using Au Naturel palette and I really loved the effect which I got with this Pout Polish.

Good points

I love its minty vanilla smell.
Gives very natural nude look to the lips.
The texture is very moisturizing and sheer.
It has SPF 15 so you can be go anywhere without fearing the sunlight.
The quantity is good.
It's not sticky at all.
The price is very reasonable as always.
An essential part with a smokey look.

LOTD:


Bad points

The product comes in a pot which is not very hygienic. Due to this you have always keep a lip brush for applying it.
The lasting power is just okay. For long lasting you'll have to reapply it again.

Finally...

Finally I'm not much impressed with this Pout Polish. I accept that it's a part of a smokey look but on other looks, I'm not sure I would love to apply it. But yes, when I want to show my lips Bare Minimum, I'll really apply it without thinking.

Recommendation

If you're looking for a sheer nude lipbalm that moisturizes your lips and isn't sticky, I think Sleek Makeup's Bare Minimum Pout Polish would definitely be worth looking into. If you love to do a smokey makeup look, you need a Pout Polish Bare Minimum to grow your beauty.

So girls what is your experience with this Pout Polish?? Hope my review helped!!!

Sleek Makeup Caribbean Collection Aruba Blush & Bonaire Pout Polish- Review, Swatches & LOTD

Hi everyone

After reviewing the Curacao i-divine palette of Sleek Makeup’s Caribbean Collection, my readers have sent me many mails to review the Aruba Blush and Bonaire Pout Polish. So today I'm reviewing these other two things of this collection. Hope you find it helpful & like it :)

Aruba Blush

It’s a bright matte orange blush which is a part of the Caribbean Collection.

Price

£4.29

What Sleek Makeup says

Be brave and brighten your look with a cheeky hint of coral and turn into a bird of paradise with Caribbean inspired colors!

Packaging

Comes in a very handy small box. Inside it you'll find a wide mirror on one side & the blush on the other.

Shade

It’s a bright orange shade which gives a lovely coral shade on your cheeks after applying with a light hand.

Texture

Silky and smooth, so pigmented that after touching it for the first time, you might hesitate in applying it on your cheeks thinking that it may be too bright & bold.

In the mirror of my own experience

As I told you that when I saw it for first time on the net, the first thought of mine was ‘ hey it’s not for me' & even after touching it my thoughts were the same but when I applied it on my cheeks I was amazed to see its lovely shade and finish. I applied it with a very light hand & gentle strokes so it gave a soft orangish coral look to my cheeks. All my hesitation had gone on seeing the shade. I can apply it very comfortably for my holiday tours to any hill station or sea side even at day time and it’ll be a great option for a night party so I really love this blush ♥♥

The lasting power is amazing. It can stay easily for 5 to 6 hours without any reapplying. In my opinion, no one wants more lasting power in a blush. If you want more, you could get longer wears by using a primer or a cream blush underneath. Like many others I also feel it a cheaper dupe for Nars Taj mahal!!

Good points

I love the packaging which is so handy and I can carry it out very easily for any visit.

Love its matte silky texture.

The pigmentation and smoothness is great.

You can get a lovely coral look after applying it with gentle strokes.

It can make your holidays colorful.

It can be toned down for lighter complexion and can be carried well by darker ones as well.

With a very light application, you can get a natural look which would be perfect for any day occasion.

If you are going for a night party, apply it with a shimmery highlighter. Your cheeks will get radiant just like the lights and it’ll be impossible for anyone to ignore you easily...haha!!!

The lasting power is very impressive keeping the price in mind.

Again I can say that after getting these many qualities, the cost looks unbelievable.


Bad points

If you like light and natural makeup, this blush is not for you.

There is no brush provided with this blush so never forget to carry out your own blush applicator if you are going for a holiday.

Final thoughts

Finally there is no need to say that it’s an impressive product which is definitely a worth buy. The quality, the texture, the intensity, the cost…all are great and incredible ♥♥

Recommendation

This is a definite repurchase for me & I will highly recommend it to all my readers.

Bonaire Pout Polish

The last thing of this collection is this Bonaire Pout Polish which a tinted lip conditioning balm.

Net weight

10g

Price

£4.29

What Sleek Makeup says

A tinted lip conditioning balm formulated with natural oils as well as having a high SPF of 15, giving you gorgeous conditioned lips that are protected from the Sun’s harmful rays.

Packaging

It comes in a round pot with the contents inside. Very handy & travel friendly. The lid has a beautiful design of a boat & palm showing the Caribbean.

In the mirror of my own experience

Many girls are afraid of wearing orange lips due to the fact that it may look funny or too bold. But here is the solution to your fear & problem. This Bonaire Pout Polish is a funky coral tinted balm which is very wearable & is not too dark or intense. It moisturizes the lips nicely giving it a light coral shade which looks fabulous with dark eye makeup. It has a lovely caramel sort of fruity smell also which made me feel as if it was something edible!! Another great thing is that it has SPF 15 which provides sun protection to the lips. It’s great for everyday use & I’m loving this Pout Polish!!

Good Points

Very moisturizing and non-sticky.

Not too bold & bright.

Has SPF 15 which is a great quality.

Love the fruity, yummy smell!!!

Great for everyday use, but you need to apply it skilfully.

Again, the product is worth the price!!

LOTD

Bad points

Has to applied using a brush coz a finger application may not be very hygienic.

The lasting power is not very impressive; just 2-3 hours & then you need to reapply it.
