Bite Beauty | Luminous Creme Lipstick & High Pigment Pencils | Review + Swatches


I'm really just starting to explore when it comes to makeup and color. I used to only gravitate towards neutrals and earth tones because I was afraid to try something different. But now, when it comes to my lips I'm starting to really venture out and experiment with new shades. Bite Beauty has a wonderful collection of lip products that range from glosses, lipsticks, pencils, lip scrubs, butters and rouges. One of the cool things about Bite Beauty is that each product is formulated with the anti-aging benefits of red wine Resveratrol, each Bite lipstick delivers the antioxidant equivalent of five glasses of red wine designed to restore and maintain youthful looking lips.

Glow: I'll start with the Luminous Creme Lipstick, Barlo has sort of a mild plummy tone to it. I actually expected the shade to be a bit deeper than it is but for some reason it still works. I like that it has a soft tone and it's not overbearing. The formula of the lipstick goes on super smooth and creamy and it was very moisturizing almost like a balm. You could totally make this color pop by adding a liner or brighter gloss but it works just as good alone. The High Pigment Matte Pencils definitely took me by surprise. The color payoff is awesome and I love that they are buildable, you can either wear it as a light pop of color or build it to really stand out. Both colors Pomegranate and Grapevine are very bold. Although Grapevine is not so "grape" after all, it's more so of a vibrant powdery pink which is a little too bright for my liking and not very wearable for my complexion. Pomegranate is a genuine candy red, so if you're fearful of bright colors this one will have you trembling in your stilettos ;o)

Glare: Now I don't know if I was over handling it or not but I somehow managed to break the lipstick after only a second use which sucks because I really like it lol.  But hey it's still usable and I plan to wear it regardless. Also this isn't really a con but just a heads up that the High Pigment Matte Pencils are not really that "matte" but has more of a satin-like finish.

Would I Recommend It? I would! The lipstick and pencils go on smooth and are long wearing. I really love that all of the colors are so pigmented and vibrant.  You definitely won't have any issue with not getting enough color payoff. Bite Beauty also has a nice selection of colors to choose from so your're surely guaranteed to find something that works for you.

Where To Buy: All BITE products are available at Sephora.com and range from $18-24. The Luminous Creme Lipstick and High Pigment Matte Pencils are both $24 each.
