How has everyone’s week been so far? 
With the cold weather I am so tempted to go to bed early in the evenings, and sleep in every morning! I’ve already got through one of the J-Drama series I bought a couple of weekends ago (click here if you have missed that post!).

I have often seen kink cosmetics products at my local Coles supermarket, but always passed them by as I assumed that because I hadn’t heard of the brand, and they are very cheap, they’d be poor quality! (Yet I love essence so I am a bit of a hypocrite, right?! 
)
Recently all products in the kink range were marked down to $2 each, so I decided to take the plunge and try out their Lip Lustre in “Pom Pom”… I noticed that this was one of several shades available, including a deep ruby red. (Kink products typically retail for under $10, but when not on sale you can buy any 2 products and get the 3rd free!)
I was very pleased to see that the Lip Lustre is Australian made!
“Pom Pom” is a pretty peachy pink shade which is quite sheer on the lips. I found its lasting power to be average – 1-2 hours if just sipping drinks now and again and you must reapply after eating. This wasn’t a problem to me as it is a gloss (so to be expected) and it’s cheap, so it doesn’t really matter if you have to repurchase it frequently.
As it’s a sheer colour, I’ve been wearing it to work often!
Here are some pics of it on – first in standard lighting with no flash, and then with flash.
I am now keen to try out more of their products! Hope they keep the $2 markdown going for a while longer…
Beautiful rating 8/10: quality 4/5, value 4/5.

Have any of my Aussie readers given kink cosmetics a try???
I can’t wait to try this ! Iive where there is pretty much only Kmart , Coles and woollies ( drive 2.5hrs last weekend to go to target country) so a product from Coles is awesome for me
thanks so much for the review
Hi Dee oh boy that travel time is massive! My pleasure, I hope they stock the kink products in the Coles close to you. I hope your closest KMart is a reasonable size… I notice they are starting to stock a gradually improving range of beauty and skin care products. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment!
Interesting. I’ve always looked at them and turned away. For $2 I would purchase, but not the usual $5. For some reason, they look TOO cheap for even that cheap price, if that makes sense? I love Essence, but find it harder to trust these. xD I look forward to seeing any other reviews on the brand in the future. Might help me make my mind up.

Hi Bethany, yes I haven’t been interested in the kink products until they’ve been on sale lol! I’m also going to be reviewing one of their polishes soon (yep the sale has continued on!) so stay tuned! Ps. Keep an eye out for today’s post because there’ll be info about an upcoming event that you can participate in!
