I have a lot of the Peripera Ink the Velvets, so I wanted to try out this formula. I have to say that I really dislike the Ink the Airy Velvets because of their scent and how it accentuates all the lines and dry patches on my lips. The Cloud Ink Velvets seem to be in between the Airy Velvets and the original Velvets -- it's opaque but still easy to do a gradient look, and it has that same floral-powder scent but not as strong as the Airys. I do notice that it accentuates the lines on my lips, but it seems to smooth out dry patches. The applicator is a doe-foot without an angle, and the color I got (#5 Redish Rose) is a bright true red. I like it but if you are already a fan of the original line or the Airys, it doesn't make much sense to buy this collection since all the colors are basically the same!
