Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying the eyeshadows. I just sniffed the palette and it has a strong vanilla scent. There's also no scent while applying the lip liner. I just sniffed the lip liner and no scent whatsoever. There's a slight scent while applying the lip creme. I just sniffed the lip creme and the smell is the same while applying. It smells like vanilla. It's doable. Secondly, I like the packaging of all four. The eyeshadow palette is well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick plastic. There's no scratches whatsoever but there are a lot of finger print marks on the bottom of the palette. The top is also sturdy. It makes a clicking noise, as well as, you can feel a tight seal when you open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. I also like that it comes with a mirror. It makes it easy to use while applying makeup. The lip liner looks like every other lip liners except it comes in color. Most of my lip liners are in black. It's hard to distinguish them apart unless I read what the color of the lip liner is. The color makes it easy to distinguish. With that said, you do have to sharpen which is not an issue with me. The lip creme is also well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick plastic and comes in a see through packaging. If you own more than one, you can distinguish them apart. The top is also sturdy. I can feel a tight seal when I open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. The brush is nice as well. It's simple, clean, and well-made. There were no bleeding and loose hair while washing. The hair is also soft to the touch. All four are great for traveling. Third, the consistency of the eyeshadows are mixed. Some are more buttery soft than other. The mattes and metallic are really soft in-between the fingers. The one with glitter, Ecstatic, is slightly rougher but not by much. With that said, it's easy to use. It's easy to grab with the brush. Not only that the colors blend well together, at the same time, they don't look like one color on the lids. You can see the transition between the shadows. It's also compacted and there aren't loose shadows all over the palette. The consistency of the lip liner is in-between soft to rough. It's not rough to the touch but it isn't completely soft. It doesn't tug on the lips but you can feel slight roughness while applying. It's extremely easy to use. I've always been a fan of pencils but at the same time I don't use it often. The thinness of the pencil takes effort to color the entire lips. I'm just lazy. The consistency of the lip creme is creamy. It's soft to the touch and applies smoothly on the lips. There's no tugging whatsoever. I ended up liking the brush. It's really soft on the skin and it's easy to blend on the crease and other v. For the lids, I used another brush. Fourth, the colors of the eyeshadows are on the warm tone. If you're not into peachy/coral/mauve colors, this isn't for you. I would say the colors are great all year round depending on how you use the shadows. The lip liner is pretty. It's a great all year as well. I really like how the color looked on my lips. It's on the natural side. The lip creme is pretty. I actually like the color alone. I didn't like the mixture of the lip liner and lip creme together, but that's personal taste. I'm not a big fan of metallic lip products but this one I actually liked. It's not so metallic that it stands out. It's on the more natural side. With that said, it's great all year as well. Pigmentation-wise it's up there but depending on the product. Most of the shadows are pigmented. I noticed the lighter colors like Wannabe and Ecstatic took some more work than the rest. I was pretty impressed with the medium to darker shadows, as well as, the light color that I applied under the brow (Polite). The lip liner isn't that pigmented. It showed on me since I'm on the paler side, as well as, my lips. If you have more a darker tone lips, it might not really show up that much. The lip creme is decent. One layer was good enough to show on my skin. Lastly, the shadows are long lasting. It lasted all day on me without creasing and smudging. The lip liner and lip creme lasted until I ate. I have a tendency to wipe my mouth after each meal. For this reason, most lip products don't last that long on me. With that said, they're both light weight and comfortable. I did not see any drying with both the lip liner and lip creme. There were no white residue in the center of the lips. I'm glad I got to try these products. I'm pretty impressed with the brand and best of all, the price is nice!
