Here’s a quick look at the Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Peachy Scene* which I got from a BDJ Box a few months ago. The bullet will tell you how much I don’t use it. The color is actually really pretty, it’s just that the scent is quite overwhelming and the frost finish doesn’t help this lipstick’s case.
Here are a couple of swatches. Peachy Scene is in between YSL Rouge Volupté Shine in Rose in Tension and MAC’s Betty Bright, from the Archie’s Girls collection. Rose in Tension is much darker and obviously rosier, whereas Betty Bright is a little lighter, pinker, and a ton brighter.
I can’t say I’ll miss this from my collection, honestly. Because as lovely as the color is, I can’t get past the smell. It smells like vanilla frosting, which sounds amazing, I know, but I don’t like makeup that smells like baked goods. It doesn’t smell like your typical vanilla smell from MAC. Like, it smells like the baked good you’d use the vanilla for. LOL. Does that make sense?
Anyway! As far as formulation goes, it’s quite nice and smooth and it glides on pretty well. I generally like Maybelline lipsticks anyway, but yes. The smell. It is a deal-breaker for me.
Maybelline is not cruelty-free.

Hello! Loved this post, really funny! Does this line have a good variety of colors?
I haven’t really checked, but thanks and I’m sure they do. 🙂
I don’t know why but I always get stuck with the colors that don’t look good on me with BDJ Boxes. I got this too but in a neon pink shade and ABSOLUTELY HATED the smell! It’s like scented clay and ulk, smells so bad.
The color you got was gorgeous though! I always end up being envious of the other lip colors other BDJ Box subscribers get haha.
Don’t they have a place where you can log on and fill up your preferences? I vaguely remember that option!
