What scent to you prefer in your lipstick/gloss? Vanilla? Fruity? Perfume-y?
.
I like vanilla the most, from what I’ve smelled. It’s safe, not too much, and pleasant overall.
.
I like fruity, but more like a raspberry or strawberry, not so much a tropical like pineapple or mango type smell. Also not crazy about a perfume type smell in a lip product, though I do like L'Oreal's smell - it is very faint to me. I find that unscented lippies smell like paste or playdough, so I would rather have a nice light smell to counter that.
Anything that has to do with food! I simply think is horrible, after just have washed my teeth, to put on my lips something which smells like food! :-(
i like MAC's scent. i can handle fruit scents if they are not too sweet or cheap smelling. i just got a rimmel lipstick and it smelled like cherry cough syrup. i threw it away and i hate doing that...
i hate berrry or fruity scents - like estee lauder ! ewwwwww! i hate the smells and the taste- it grosses me out- like im gonna hurl! i also dont like perfume rose scents /tastes- liker lancome or loreall. the ones i prefer and dont mind are a light but not too strond scent/tste like macs l/s and l/g. they are vanilla! i also rediscovered origins l/s and l/g. they smell and taste like chocolate mint - mmmmmmmm!=) i dont like stuff too sweet or else i cant keep my mind on anything else. some other brands could make their items not soo plasticky too !
Fruity scents are number 1 for me. Like YSL's Golden Gloss. Favorite scent of lipgloss. I do like MAC's Vanilla scent in there lipglasses and lipstick. Peppermint is okay with me.
The Maybelline Moisture Extreme have the best smell. I want to eat them they smell so delicious. Like watermelon.
I prefer them to be fragrance free, but I'm really happy if I stumble across something honey-scented.
I can't stand YSL glosses because they have such a perfume scent. I like MAC's cremesheen gloss smell. I feel like it's a different variation of their regular vanilla. lol.
I love rose scents! That is why one of my favourite lip products come on Anna Sui, even though their products are the best...
Anna Sui lipstick smell nice (I think it is tea green tea scent) As much as I like Guerlain product their lipgloss cupcake scent through me a little off :(
I prefer non-scented but fruity ones are usually OK. I cant stand perfume scents in lipstick -- have bought those and have to toss as they make me ill.
I like that vanilla-cake like smell, its sooo yummy I wanna bite my lips lol and boys love it and they like fruity scents too but I perfer the vanilla/cake scent.
I prefer no scent tbh! Sometimes the fragrance comes out so.. fragrance-y and fake, which makes it difficult to stand. If I had to pick one type of scent I can handle most though, it would be fruit scents. Im not fond of flowery smells, I like woodsy smells though, or the smell of spices. Basically, anything that smells natural, light, not too saturated. Vanilla scents can make me sick sometimes.
Coconut, Mint and Vanilla scents are my favourites. Ill normally get a lipstick or lipgloss based on the colour so if they dont have the best fragrance Ill still put up with them somehow. I do however prefer for them not to be too fruity.
I prefer them non-scented. Too many products are too heavily scented so i can't use them (like YSL Golden Gloss, yuck)!
Vanilla,but I like the taste of Kiss Kiss lipstick also. I cannot go with YSL mango taste and Dior's.
Whatever Dior puts in their Creme de Gloss ... apparently a "refreshing white tea fragrance". I also like citrus ... I have Philosophy's Let Live Let Love Lime, and I love it, I just wish it was a little less sticky.
Mint!! I love lip products that have a minty smell/taste to them. I wish more high end lip products had this sort of scent. Otherwise I like vanilla and other foody/candy flavored sorts of scents in lip products as long as they are not really strong. I *hate* putting anything on my lips though that smells like roses or some other floral/perfume-y scent, Anna Sui I'm looking at your here.
Peppermint. It's nice and fresh, I don't like sugary sweet scents near my face - it always makes me feel overindulgent, which is a feeling I prefer to reserve for actual overindulgence of the calorie- and sugar containing kind.
Anything light sweet and natural mostly. However for lipglosses like Diorkiss I'm up for food scents .
The only scent I like in a lipstick is MAC's vanilla smell... it's light enough that it doesn't bug me. Other than that, I always prefer that there is NO scent.
I'm fine with MAC's vanilla. I don't know if anyone else's noticed, but chromeglasses were caramel-scented (I think). I also used to like Origin's mint scent in its liquid lip colour but my lips itched after a month or two of wear (the scent had started to go wrong and I guess it was time to throw it out).
I am over thinking this but I love the way Clinique's Air kiss gloss smells. I buy it because it smells like some Aziza gloss I had when I was 13. It's not fruity or vanilla. I like just about any scent in gloss except the perfume-y ones. I'm thinking Clarins or Guerlain smell a bit old for my tastes.
I'm a sucker when it comes to vanilla scented products so I prefer the vanilla scent of MAC lipsticks and glosses. I don't really like fruity scented (like orange or watermelon) lip products.
