@tjffc  I agree with your opinion of the lip mask; it's my first (and I'd be happy if it was my only) one.

Some updates! 
Fenty Lip Paint I’m not sure if it’s just me, I own one and don’t recall this being an issue, the scent is off and I can’t get the formula to dry down. It wants to stay wet, which makes for a very messy lip look 🤷🏼‍♀️

Charolette Tilbury Pillow Talk I really like the shape of the lip stick and the formula. The ease of application is great! I *think* i got a light whiff of honey or vanilla but it didn’t linger. This particular shade just isn’t for me, I’m very interested in discovering other shades though! 

Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask love the formula, it feels very Lux, like most things Tatcha do. I would get more use out of it if it were in a squeeze tube vs. tiny jar. I’m a busy gal, the extra step of undoing the lid, getting the applicator stick, scooping it and applying sounds like a lot of work 🤪

Sephora Collection 👌🏻🤍Love, like always. One swipe gives full coverage. Full day swear and no transfer. Did I detect a new scent though? 

will update further once I’ve tried the rest!

That's so odd about the Fenty! Especially since you have another one to compare it to.

@GG84 So glad the shipping was sorted out ❤️ Thanks for your reviews! Definitely smelled vanilla with the CT.

Thought I'd share some updates now that I've used these lippies a little longer. I realized I forgot to comment on scent!! So here are my notes on how each product smells, listed in order of strongest to lightest with some additional impressions.

• The YSL has a sweet, fruity scent that lingers. I'd say it's even stronger than the Rouge Voluptés in the silver cases? I've read some people describe YSL lipsticks as powdery. I personally do not detect any powder at all. As a side note, I've really been loving the colour and formula ❤️ Because it's more sheer than my Besamé, I can wear it more casually with a single coat. This is really great to have on hand for a quick swipe before a Zoom meeting. You can get use it for softer red lip look to give you the drama of a red without having to work to be super precise with a liner and brush.
• The Sephora lip stain smells pleasant, like sweet cupcake batter. Unlike the YSL, it dissipates very quickly as the formula dries and becomes more matte. This is surprizingly opaque wearing and you don't need much product to build up opacity. Best of all, it doesn't settle a lot into lines which some lighter shades can do. Great in-house product with a formula much more like the Fenty lip paint than a stain. It definitely didn't stain my lips but maybe a darker formula would have that effect?
• The BITE scrub smells sweet and like sugar, as you might imagine, but it's not saccharine at all. More like syrup.
• The CT is growing on me. The scent is very light, a bit vanilla-sweet and is not noticeable to me when I apply it. It looks especially good paired with cool toned grey clothing. The unique bullet shape is really amazing for precise application. It really hugs the lips and because it's narrowed on the sides, you have more control. I might pick up a warmer nude or red from this line.
• The Fenty lip paint is actually aptly named because it has a slight chemical scent, not exactly like paint, but definitely something more industrial than cosmetic. Like the CT, it's not noticeable upon application.
• The Tatcha lip mask, despite being described as peach, seems to describe the colour more than the scent. Out of all the products, it is the one I can smell the least, such that I would not describe it as having one.

Thank you for these scent desriptions! The Bite scrub smelled like a votive candle. Very pleasant smell💗 @pocketvenus
