MakeupAddiction subreddit picks best-smelling products

  • 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. 

Read on to shop more Reddit-approved products that smell like cookies, cake batter, violet and more.

Sweet! Miliani lipstick (above) is among the best-smelling beauty products on shelves, according to a new thread on the subreddit MakeupAddiction 

Reddit user Librarian_cat_ calls this body cream a ‘holy grail’ product, ‘mostly because of the smell, and it also does what it says’. 

The dreamy pistachio caramel fragrance is also a favorite among Femail editors.

When it comes to bronzer, less is more…except maybe if you’re using this tropical-scented one. 

‘I over bronze because it smells so good,’ said Librarian_cat_. The bronzer also topped the best scent list of three fellow Redditors.

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.

‘I don’t care much for the finish but keep buying because they smell so sweet and yummy,’ said Reddyenumberfive. 

Another described the fragrance as ‘a fruity clean scent that is natural and not overpowering at all.’

Coconut water is the main ingredient in this multi-tasking primer, and that’s exactly what it smells like. 

‘I have even looked around to see if First Aid Beauty made anything else that smelled like the coconut priming moisturizer, because it is yummy,’ said Alien1912.

The warm neutral shades aren’t the only reason Too Faced couldn’t keep this palette in stock when it first launched last year.

‘The colors aren’t for me but it smells soooo yummy,’ said Sacastinatrix of the peach aroma. 

After buying the palette, another user said, ‘I’m kind of disappointed when I use my other shadows and they don’t have a scent.’

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

Both sound good to us.

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

‘I literally gave in to buying them because they smell so d*** good!’ said Danieluh89, while Pantone877 admitted, ‘Sometimes I open it just to sniff it.’

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.
