Hautelook...Pixi and Pop First Impressions

I placed my first Hautelook order a couple weeks ago when my black gel eyeliner dried up and Hautelook had Pixi and Pop cosmetics on their website.  Of course, it wouldn't have been worth the shipping if I only bought their gel eyeliner, so, I ended up purchasing a total of three things from their sale.  I received them in the mail today and was super excited to open them.

My first impressions on Hautelook:  As a whole, I really love the website and the discounts that they pass on their customers.  A lot of people complain about the shipping times etc. but I didn't feel like it took all that long, but then again, I wasn't entirely impatient while waiting for it.  I did receive one damaged product which you will see in the photos further on, but I don't really know who would be at fault for that (Hautelook, Pop, or the postal service) I feel like Hautelook did their best to preserve the products, they were wrapped individually in tissue paper, then wrapped together in tissue paper so they wouldn't bounce around again one another.  Then, it was all wrapped in bubble wrap.  
These are the three items that I purchased: Pop Beauty Pretty Puzzle Smoked out Silver, Pixi by Petra No.1 Onyx Gel Liner, and Pop Beauty Petal Jam lip balm in budding berry.
Pop Beauty Pretty Puzzle in Smoked out Silver: Sorry for the odd picture, it was the only way I could capture all the colors true to life.  As you can see this is the damaged product.  I'm not overly upset about it because it is only one eyeshadow and it's still very useable.  They look pretty nice overall and I can't wait to use them and I think it's great for traveling =D
PS: Thumbs up for Harry Potter in the background lol
Pixi by Petra No.1 Onyx Gel Liner: I haven't used this yet obviously since I just received it today but I already know that I don't like the brush that it comes with.  The brush hair is too flimsy for me and it end ups making a really thick line.  As for the actual liner, it's very nice and smooth, and I'm kind of in love with it.  It's very black and I'm uber excited to use it today.
Pop beauty Petal jam lip balm in Budding berry: *Sigh* So far, I'm really enjoying this stuff.  It claims to work as a lip balm, lip primer before lipstick, lipgloss, or it can be used on elbows and cuticles.  It's pretty long lasting and it definitely makes your lips and elbows feel extremely smooth and soft.  It tastes sooooo good and I enjoy the scent of it but my mother HATES the scent and says it smells like fruity cat pee.  I don't completely understand the cat pee thing but...whatever she can be pretty odd.  It contains jojoba oil, avocado oil, macadamia nut oil, and vitamin E.  No wonder it makes everything feel smooth and soft; so many oils!  

Anyways, overall I'm not disappointed by anything YET.  If my opinions change on any of these products, I will be sure to let everyone know!!
