- Shop the make-up that Reddit users say smell the best from brands like Too Faced, Benefit Cosmetics and NYX
If you’ve ever bought a beauty product because you like the way it smells, you’re not alone.
Beauty junkies have taken to a new thread on the subreddit MakeupAddiction to share their ‘favorite smelling products’.
Too Faced’s Sweet Peach Palette and Bite Beauty’s lipstick range, which both have fruity scents, topped the list, but sugary and subtle floral-fragranced products proved popular, too.

Made with 12 edible oils and real pressed fruit for flavor, it’s not surprising that Bite Beauty’s lipstick received high praise in the thread.

User Thestephanieloves described the scent as ‘pleasantly fruity, but not overly sweet,’ while Pikalex detailed it as ‘a bit floral, really soft.’

If its cult classic status doesn’t convince you to drop $62 on this color-correcting powder, maybe its violet scent will.

The scent of NYX’s line of nourishing glosses is as decadent as the shade names suggest (in addition to Cupcake, there’s Red Velvet and Pink Buttercream, to name a few).
Redditors say the smell reminds them of cake batter and cookies.
