Bite Beauty

I was curious about this brand and started collecting whatever mini travel sized lipstick in this line to find my hg nude and one dark shade. I have Sugarcane - too pale pink gave me concealer lips. Honeycomb - better being warmer and one shade up. Meringue- Have this in a full size. I wouldn't say it's my holy Grail but it's nice enough for everyday. I have very dry lips and deep lower wrinkles so I need to put a balm either under or over it to make it more a Moisturizing and softer looking on the lips. Meringue is more neutral than Honeycomb and leaves more of a slight peach pink. It does have a slight lemonade scent actually pleasant. So it dissipated once on the lips. Rhubarb Nice deep Berry shade neutral. Not as cool as Sake but maybe one shade down from pepper. Cayenne bright bold coral reddish orange. See pics.

I was quite surprised out of all the mini bite lipsticks I tried that this would be one of my favorites. Medium deep Berry wine shade that works well with my pigmented lips.

On paper, this product seems great. Natural ingredients, not tested on animals, and it even tastes pretty good (sweet). However, the performance just doesn't cut it. I can apply this to slightly chapped lips at bedtime and when I wake up they are still chapped and dry. If my lips are really chapped or even cracked, forget it, this does nothing. It's strange because the formula is really thick and usually such an occlusive formula protects lips and gives them a chance to heal. But unfortunately, this doesn't. I can put it on and wait for it to sink in and an hour or so later, it's like I'd never put anything on my lips. They're just as chapped as if I hadn't used the lip mask. The formula is so thick which makes it hard to squeeze out of the tube sometimes, and I feel like it really drags across my lips while I'm applying it. Not a good feeling. So, while this checks all the right boxes on paper, the bottom line is that it doesn't perform. Sad when this happens.
