LIP LOVE: Australis Pout Paste...OCC Dupe?

I was so looking forward to the release of the Australis Pout Pastes, I was practically stalking their Instagram, Facebook & Twitter daily to find out when these little tubes of liquid lipstick were being released. I was lucky enough to be sent these for review, but honestly I was going to buy them in the store (was just waiting for an Australis deal at Priceline... as always!)

From the Instagram picture I thought it was going to be a total dupe for the OCC Lip Tars which I love & have reviewed before. 

They are quite similar in that they are a highly pigmented liquid lipstick but there are a few features that set these Pout Pastes away from the OCC Lip Tars.

The main difference I find is that they have a little doe foot applicator making for a much easier and less messy application!


The consistency is very similar to the OCC Lip Tars however I find these to be much more glossy, like the Lip Tars these will bleed because they are a liquid lipstick. So I suggest using a straw when drinking and don't go downing a burger or you'll possibly look like an extra from a Vampire movie (particularly if your rocking the red).

The Australis Pout Pastes come in 3 shades only, I'm hoping they release a few more in the future but I think the 3 shades chosen are on trend at the moment and everyone will pick a favourite.



Pash Me Pink - This is a more neutral pink, leaning warmer on my skin. Out of the 3 this was my least favourite shade but out of the 3 is probably the most wearable on a day to day basis.

Love Bites - Is a hot tomato red shade, certainly not out of place with a nice flick of black winged liner and a matte finished face. The shine is serious business, this was one of those colours that I had to keep looking at in the mirror because it is just perfection. Does anyone else do this or am I just a bit vain? lol! This is my pick of the bunch.

Berry Nice Kiss - Thank you Australis! A purple shade! If your a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube videos you will know I have a slight obsession with purple shades on my lips at the moment. I was so keen to get this on my lips and it didn't disappoint. For the Aussies this is a must have for the upcoming cooler months ahead. Lurrrrrrrrve!


I think we can all agree that this is what I would call a rave review. I think i've mentioned this before but Australis are absolutely knocking it out of the park and then some for me lately.

Something else that's awesome is the price, only RRP $12.95AUD. Keep an eye out at your local stockists though because there are always deals on Australis prodz!

Which would you pick? Do you keep checking out your lip colour in the mirror when your rocking a new shade? No? Okay... moving along.

Product Disclosure: These items were sent to me for review, this does not affect my thoughts and you can read my disclosure policy for more info. I would have purchased these myself to be honest!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!
