I love the brand Pout! I have most of the range (surprise surprise) and think that Pout products are of a very high quality. I also have the honour of being the very first person to buy Pout in Australia when it launched a few years ago!

The Pout packaging is to die for and is inspired by lingerie. I am going to list my very favourite Pout Products.

Lip Gloss - The pout lipgloss is a little sticky but nothing shines your lips quite like it. My lips look positively juicy when I wear it and I always get comments. I have nearly every shade of Pout Lipgloss:redcheeks: but my favourites are:

Pop My Bubble: Bubblegum pink

Lick My Lolly: Soft Toffee Brown

Be My Baby: Light Pink

Burst My Berries: Deep Plum

Eyeshdows - All the Pout Eyeshadows come in duo's. The pigments in the Pout eyeshadows are very fine and therefore very easy to blend. My favourites include:

Miss June: soft lilac & medium brown

Miss Bahamas: Golden Shimmer & Dark Chocolate Brown Shimmer

Miss Wales: Soft Silvery Grey & Dusty Pink

Miss Fiji: Light and Dark Aqua

Pout also make a range of liquid eyeshadows called eyeslicks. These are extremely long wearing cream shadows and are quite richly pigmented so a little goes a long way.
My Favourites Include:

Bamboo: Dark Brown

Lotus: Rich plum/purple

Indrani: Charcoal Grey

Swing: Pretty Pale Pink

Cobra: Mint Green

Bee: Bronzy Brown

Tigress: A clear gel to put on top of shadows to make them look super shiny.

Pout also make blush in both Powder and Cream Form. The cream blushes are gorgeous and blend soo easily into the cheeks, I love the sherbert shimmer one which is probably more like an illuminator than a blush.

I have two of the Powder Blushes in the Pout range, Cherie Tarte and Pearly Queen. I find these very very rich. I hardly let my brush touch the blushes as they are so richly pigmented if not applied very sparingly could be disasterous.

I will add more on my Pout collection later if anyone is interested!

Wow, what a superb rundown! Very educational Pcc! I especially like the idea of the eyeslicks and powder eyeshadows. The clear gel sounds fab - I remember a Lancome advert years ago that showed black and red eyeshadows that looked like they had vaseline petrolium jelly all over the top, didnt want to try that but this sounds like it can transform even the most mundane eyeshadow!

Put a trip to Pout counter on the "to do" list!

Pout is excellent Luisa. Their products are very good quality and you can tell that as soon as you see them. I am surprised you haven't sussed out the Pout range earlier. Pout is absolutely huge in the U.K. The poutlets in London are gorgeous, like walking into an old fashioned bedroom. I was gobsmacked to walk into a poutlet and see Kylie Minogue sitting up having a makeover, needless to say from one Aussie to another I felt it was was my duty to say hello!!

PCC I'm a Pout addict too! I love the Be My Baby and Bite My Cherry lipglosses and Flushed Pink cream blush. This blush is my absolute favourite - the texture is lovely, it looks like you're blushing from the inside out.

Would like to hear more about your collection. Do you have any of the foundations or other illuminators? Also have you tried any of their lip-plumping glosses? I might start a separate thread on this actually, another product I'm always in search of...

I also love the Pout Lipglosses but i wouldn't say it was my favourite as it is very sticky and i have difficulty using the tube with the flat applicator. Be my baby is a great colour though.

Pout illuminating foundation - very light coverage, not my fave

I used to work in that pout store in covent garden. It is the cutest store. The brand is far better managed and represented in London. The covent garden store stocked many of the brands we have at adore- cargo, Ole, bloom, mimco, demeter and so on.

The store is fantastic, very fun boudoir and you can buy the pout panties. The girls I worked with were great. The quality of staff is far better there as you MUST be a make up artist to work there and we all wore fishnets and fantastic make up on the job. I also did the manicures or 'hand jobs' as they call them there.

I had a wonderful time working with them over the Christmas of 2003! I love covent garden!

yep I worked there, just briefly though. I was travelling that winter and living with my then English boyfried just for a few months over the European winter.

They offered me a permanant position, but I had to come home to finish my final year of Theatre School.

I have fond memories of that place and time. The gals who created the brand worked with me. A great group of girls to work with and a very cute store!

Allison,
What an amazing life you have had. I am so in awe that you worked in a Poutlette, you're and actress, Beauty Therapist and singer! I so wished I'd have followed my heart and did Beauty Therapy instead of a six year degree. I guess theres always time to persue other avenues but I think you have had such an exciting and varied life so far!

the grass is always greener! My life may sound great on paper, but it's a small window that you're looking though. We each have our crazy and amazing stories. I was just an impulsive girl and took risks (beause I was always so scared to in my late teens and early twenites). I made sacrifices too though.

I waited years until I got the courage to study theatre... and as a result of my craving for theatre and music I sacrificed a lot (time and $$).. such is life huh? living in fear is far worse!

I have friends who have fallen by the wayside as they don't agree with my haphazzard lifestyle but I wouldn't really have it any other way I think...

Just heard a (unsubstantiated) rumour that Pout may be discontinued in Australia and will shortly be 30% off at Myer. Apparently the brand is pulling out of Sephora and Victoria's Secret in the US as well.

Have been trawling the net for actual news on this but to no avail. Will see if I can find out more.

In the interim: :shockedhair:

:shakehead::shakehead::shakehead:

OK, I am a bit upset. I just got an e-mail from that certain nameless website which sells Pout to let me know that there is a farewell sale. Can anyone fill me in on what's going on? I did read the previous posts about Pout being discontinued - is this really happening?

I first tried Pout only last year - I got a set with a duo eyeshadow (Miss Tahiti), a mascara and a lip gloss. And I also got the Lip Lovers Palette. I was totally blown away by the quality - the eyeshadows apply so smoothly and effortlessly, and stay put for hours; the mascara lengthens my lashes beautifully without clumping, and the lip palette is just divine. I had heard about Pout long before, and it was even better than I imagined -honestly think it's just as good as Nars, which I love also.

But now.....I read about this.....I am shocked. Is it being discontinued because of poor sales and lack of interest? I wouldn't think so - it's such a great brand. Does this mean we will only be able to buy it directly from their website now? I thought they didn't offer international shipping previously, but I've checked & they do - for 13.50 pounds, which is about 32AUD.

OK, so there are bargain Pout products on offer, but I'm still sad lol!!!

26-09-2007, 06:58 PM
I'm not sure what they are doing. They are discounting their line but I don't know if they are making new stuff. It doesn't look to be so though.

26-09-2007, 08:00 PM
Yeah bluemelon, it is a shame. Pout is such a fun brand and you're right, good quality too.

Not sure why it's being discontinued here and in the US (still on sale in the UK) - I guess the cosmetics biz is pretty competitive, particularly with new brands coming out all the time. Must be hard.

pinkcupcake
27-09-2007, 04:23 PM
All hope is not lost girls. I think they will let us buy of the Pout Site and we can all pool together to save on postage if anyone else ever wants anything.

You're right. No one needs mucking around with shopping sites...

27-09-2007, 07:04 PM
Are there any specific brands that you are after from overseas? I have shopped from a site which is UK based, to get my Urban Decay stuff (another brand I can't live without!). They also have Pout & quite a few other brands. I think I paid about 8 pounds in shipping, which worked out to about 20 AUD, but the service was great. I may get my Pout stuff from there, but those gifts you get from the Pout site look tempting.......

I know that international shipping can be a rip off sometimes, but I generally prefer shopping from a US website, especially because the Aussie dollar is good right now, so when it gets converted to Aussie dollars, it's not as bad as when it's converted from UK pounds.

Look at what we do to get our beloved cosmetics lol.........:shakehead:

Well, I didn't get my order again today! I saw the postie stop at the house across the road to deliver a parcel & I thought yay finally - but he had nothing for me!!

Then I got a call at 5pm from them which I missed, so I called back straight away & they said they would call back, but 2 hours later and no call! So I've been left in limbo & have no idea what's happening with my order over a week since I ordered it. 3 eyeshadows and 1 eyeslick - that's all I wanted:(

Medusa
05-10-2007, 08:23 PM
Somebody RESCU me!!!!

The drama continues.....
I got THE call today about out of stock items on my Pout order, 9 days after placing the actual order :no:
I was prepared for this as most of you also got THE call. But when she said "3 of the 4 items you ordered are out of stock", alarm bells went off. "What do you mean 4 items??? I ordered 12!" Despite my calls, detailed 3 page fax & email they STILL had my order wrong :shakehead: Despite the fact that I spoke to a real person on the phone last week who read my whole order back to me & assured me it would all be fine, despite the fact that I have been charged for all 12 items, they can't find it! :explode: Yes I did throw a hissy fit but I think it was justified. No one there knows anything.
After a few hours & calls & mucking around I think I have an order? Half of the things I wanted have sold out naturally but I still racked up a $100 order.
Keep watching next week for the never ending saga .....

I got a call myself a couple of days ago, more than a week after my order had also been placed - two items out of stock. Said they'd refund me for those items and then ship out. Still hasn't arrived :explode: and can't say that I'll be a return customer.

BTW that shipping cost is outrageous! Keep thinking about it!

:shakehead:Oh dear, what a mess. What's annoyed me is that I don't even know how many products I will end up being able to get, because if, say, 2 of 4 products I ordered are out of stock, then I may have been able to substitute with something else. But now I've been left in limbo over the weekend, and more stuff will probably sell out, so I'll probably only end up with a refund. Oh well, I doubt I'll be buying from there anymore cause I only really bought Pout from them anyway.

They don't have Eyeshadow in Miss Barbados & Eyeslick in Bud (2 of my 4 items). So I just substituted for 2 other eyeshadows. I thought about getting a refund, but I love Pout's eyeshadows too much - they are the best I have ever tried in terms of ease of application and also staying power. So seeing as they are dirt cheap I decided to substitute. They said it would be sent out today (fingers crossed), so I should get them on Thursday.

Just feel totally disgusted for everyones treatment regarding Pout orders. I think the way in which all of this has been handled is unprofessional at the every least. I still haven't got mine and whilst I can wait I find it totally unacceptable that a major company can be so disorganised and unprepared in such circumstances.

I would suggest if you can get into a Myer store that sells Pout I think they will have their stock significantly reduced also.

I would encourage everyone to send a letter of concern and disappointment to the Managing Director of Brand Makers (the parent company of rescu) Bahaar Ettiman. She is a very savvy business woman and I doubt that she would be impressed by the way this entire debacle has been handled. Remember we will our have a voice by doing this and hopefully save others from similar treatment.

Can't BELIEVE you still haven't got the orders gals:explode:

I complained - got a most unsatisfactory response initially but then an apologetic follow-up phone call. I think it is worth contacting those who shall remain nameless as should know they are going to lose customers over this!

Actually, if it's not being too nosey. For those who HAVE received their order, what order numbers did you have? If you do not want to post this info, can I trouble you to PM me? Would like a bit of amunition before I blast them! Of course no names or order numbers will be mentioned.
Yeah copy me too. I think we all ordered on the same day. Mine got an extra stuff up so I am expecting my order to arrive at least a week later than all yours. Byt again would be good to note on my complaint letter that my friends got their orders on X date why was mine so much later???

So those of you lucky ones that have actually got your order, what day did you order? I remember it was a Wednesday that the e-mail was sent out about the sale. I ordered on the Thursday morning, got a call a week later that 2 things were out of stock, told this Monday that just passed that it would be sent out that day (so I should have got it this Thursday).......but nothing.........:shakehead:

I ordered on the Wednesday not long after the email. So took around two weeks to arrive.

And it's not just the length of time it took but that outrageous blanket $16 postage charge.

OK, fingers crossed & let's hope we will be Pout-ing today. I know the deliveries run late here on Mondays, so probably won't expect anything until the afternoon. If I don't get it today, it means it still hasn't been posted out!!!! :shakehead:
Then it will be time for some action lol!!! :whipcrack:

I order my first lot 2 weeks ago i think and then on that same day i ordered some more for a friend. I received my first order early last week but i still haven't received my 2nd order. i'm gonna ring them today and see what the go is. Arrrrrrrr

I just rang about my order and they "apparently" tried to call me and let me know that some of the items weren't available. They didn't try very hard to contact me.

So they are refunding me for the items i missed adnd sending it out.

The girl said i was very lucky to get 2 x eyewander. Which i did. We'll see when it actaully arrives.

So you guys that haven't seen yours yet maybe you should ring asap to hurry it up.

Head rush - sheer pink sparkle - lip stick
Atlanta - gold peach shimmer and molten chocolate shimmer - eye slick stuff (this is for my friend)
Play Girl - dusty rose pink - lipgloss

I was told over the phone that i received 2 eyewander that i ordered........ WELL THEY ARE OUT OF STOCK NOW. I had my hopes up. Oh well less money on my credit card. I relaly didn't get a lot over all.

I called them yesterday to see what happened to my order & they e-mailed the warehouse & got back to me today - my order has been dispatched from the warehouse, so hopefully should be getting it soon. That was about the 6th time I 've spoken to them. It was so frustrating because a couple of times I missed their call, so I called back, but they said they'd have to call me back. And I never got a return call, so I had to call them! Phew - hopefully this saga will be over soon!

Me too! All I can say is that after all this time I had better be getting everything they said I would. Would you belive they actually refunded my credit card for those items that were out of stock on the 4th Oct? So, now the 18th , soon to be 19th, and I am STILL WAITING! Grrr!

OK gals, want to know the good news or the bad news?

Good news is - finally received my order today after 3 weeks :)

Bad news is - they forgot to include one of my items :flames:

I am spitting chips. I am so sick of having to contact them. The item they left out was one of the items to replace my 2 out of stock ones. I got one, but not the other. Peeeeeeeved majorly!

And get this - one of the eyeshadows I ordered doesn't match the name. I ordered Miss Canada, which is meant to be a deep pebble shimmer & light grey shimmer, and although the pack says Miss Canada on the back, the colours on the inside are a bronzey colour and a light taupey beige (ie what Miss United States is supposed to be - and it's actually the product I am missing :chuckle:) So even though I've got Miss Canada & am missing Miss United States, it's actually the other way around :chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:

I'm feeling a bit like this right now :rollthoseeyes:

Funny thing was my invoice was printed out the day after I ordered. I still cannot understand WHY it took so long!

That said, although I didn't get the four things I really wanted, the presentation and colours of the items I received are fab. Looking forward to trying.

Once we've recovered from the frustration, would love to hear some reviews...

I like the mascara (really black, makes eyes pop!), blush sticks and illuminator.

blush stick in Rampant Rose - more on the peachy side than I expected but still a nice colour
Illuminator in After Glow - teeny bit too dark for me, but I'm happy to mix it with moisturiser if need be

I know how you are feeling Medusa! Mine also was promised to be sent express after all my waiting, turned up with ordinary post. You have to keep ringing them. Ring them this morning and no doubt they will say they are awaiting to hear from despatch. Tell them you will be ringing back in an hour for the result. This has been an experience to remember!

Ring them again Medusa - it happened to me a couple of times where they said they would ring back, but I was still waiting 48 hours later. I'm normally patient with these sorts of things, but it went a bit too far this time - and they never even sent a courtesy e-mail or anything to say that yes, there is a delay but we havent forgotten about your order. I would have at least been happy with that. In the end, I had been in contact with them about 6 or 7 times! So don't worry if you have to ring again and again.

Medusa
23-10-2007, 05:18 PM
OK so after ringing them twice today as they didn't ring back when they said they would :shakehead: they say my order has been sent & to call my post office for it. Well my local post office didn't have it so I had to ring the tracking number & found that it has been sent to another post office so now I have to go there tomorrow & get it.

I think you can actually ring the post office and have it transferred to another post office that's more convenient for you - save you a long trip.

24-10-2007, 02:04 PM
I HAVE POUT!!!!! :glee:
It was quite a drama at the post office as they couldn't find & I had to go to yet another post office but eventually I had the hot potato in my hot little hands. Phew! The box says 19th october. Is this the shipping date or the delivery date? Also I see that the it was shipped only half an hour away from me & yet took a whole bloody month to get here! :flames:

Upon opening I had mixed emotions. I was happy to see everything was in good condition unlike PCC's order. I was surprised to see 2 items I was told were out of stock. I was disappointed to receive 1 item in the wrong colour. I was confused about getting 2 of something I had only ordered 1 of? I was relieved to find that most of it was there but perplexed as to why there was no invoice or picking slip?

Here's the rundown
Lipslick - Party Girl (soft nude matte) its not really matte, just a natural look which is what I was after.
Lipslick - Calender Girl ( Holographic pink shimmer) I really like the vanilla smell of these lipslicks.
Lipslick - Naughty Girl (shimmery mid lilac) took a chance on this as it had no pic. Looks dark in the bottle but is ok on.
Lipgloss - Pop my Bubble (bubblegum pink) The colour is very sheer but very glossy.
Lipgloss - Be My Baby (pastel pink blush) almost clear.
Lipgloss - Tickle my Fancy (Pale pink Shimmer) looked more apricot on the site but is in fact a soft pastel pink frost.
Lip Liner pencil - 36C Warm Rose Pink. Ordered 1 got 2 :rollthoseeyes: Luisa if you don't get yours, you can have one. Lip coloured.
Eye pencil - Eye Miss You (black with green shimmer) love the packaging & dual ended with smudger. Colour good too.
Dual Mascara - Flash Lash. One end black & the other is supossed to be Sapphire but I got Jade??? Still nice but would prefer the blue. The colour is metallic.
Highlighter - After Glow & Love Glow. Was told these were sold out. :question: Look good, maybe I don't need the MAC Strobe Cream afterall? :rolleyes:
Flush Blush - Sherbet Shimmer (champagne) got this to replace the highlighters above. Nice & portable though & good to smaller applications. Very much like the Nars Multiple in Copacabana.
Cake Desserted Island Moisturizing Body Glaze - oil spray. Feels nice & non greasy but I am undecided on the smell. Is supossed to be vanilla & coconut which I can smell but also reminds me of fake tan. Little bit scary. Will need a home day for full application testing.
Perfume Samples - L'Artisan Parfumeur in Timbuktu & Tubereuse. Penhaligon's Lily of the Valley.

Geeze! I have to say that I am not shopping with them again! No way!! If they can't even handle four hundred orders in a month then what's the point of them being in business. If they treat all their customers in the way that they have with Pout saga I am surprised they have any customers at all.

I think the best way to get the message across is to talk with your credit cards girls and don't shop with them again if you are unhappy with their service!

Did get some great bits in my order in the end but certainly don't think it was worth all the drama. I have enough Pout now to last me three life times!

Weird order mix-ups though.

Dagnabit, you got the Sherbet Shimmer - I missed out on this. I did get the Love Glow Illumuniator, which I like, but seems to have an irridescent pink frost shimmer in certain lights which I wasn't expecting...hmmmm....not OTT but a bit 80s! Gorgeous packaging though.

I've only used it a couple of times, might bring it down to Melb with me for possible swapsies. Prefer my Benefit High Beam I think.
