Crimson glow: Three holiday picks from BITE Beauty
We all love a good holiday lip.
I’m not usually a red lipstick girl, but when it comes to the holiday season, I do like to partake in a berry or bright red lip to celebrate the season.
When it comes to lipsticks, one of the brands that is most known for their lip products is BITE Beauty. I’ve tried a lot of their lipstick formulas and from the clean formula to the fact that you can literally eat the product (there’s no chemicals and they are made from natural ingredients) to the shade range, there’s really nothing negative that I can think of when it comes to their lipsticks (if you every get the chance to, I recommend doing your own custom lipstick at their Lip Lab, which is now available virtually as well!).
Anyways, if you are looking for some great stocking stuffers or the perfect festive lip, then BITE Beauty has you covered.
Starting first with their lipsticks, the Power Move Creamy Matte Lip Crayon (C$34, but many are currently on sale at Sephora for $17 right now!) is a matte lip pencil that gives you a comfortable wear in a creamy matte finish.
The formula of these lipsticks, available in 20 shades, contains pomegranate oil and wild African mango, and orange wax peel. Although it’s a matte finish, they are very creamy and stay on the lips for hours on end. The pencil application makes it easy to apply with no lip liner needed (it’s pretty much a giant lip liner as it is).
Now although they are available in a wide variety of shades from pinks to reds to nudes and everything in between, I got the colour Negroni, which is a gorgeous poppy red shade (the brand calls it “electric coral”). The pigment on these are incredible and this shade in particular is sure to be a showstopper at any holiday gathering or event you attend.
Now it want to up the ante on that red lip, take a look at their Yaysayer Plumping Lip Gloss (C$33, currently on sale for C$16.50), which is a gloss that gives you hydrated, shiny, and plumped lips.
The Yaysayer Plumping Lip Gloss comes in eight shades and is a cinnamon-flavoured lip gloss that gives you more plump and glossy lips. These glosses contain cinnamon oil that helps to plump lips with a subtle tingle, as well as sodium hyaluronate to keep them feeling and looking healthy and nourished.
BITE Beauty sent me the shade Cinnamon Twist, which is a copper gloss with some shimmer thrown in. The applicator on these wasn’t what I expected since it has an angled tip where you dispense the product out of. With that being said, it does make for a nice application and I found the glosses to be quite comfortable on the lips. This shade does add a bit of colour to your lips, so it’s perfect to wear overtop of a lipstick or on its own!
Now to complete your perfect holiday look, throw on a bold winger liner and some big lashes, which is easy to do with their Feast Your Eyes set ($20 USD, on sale for $10). This set includes minis of their Upswing Full-Volume Mascara and the Upswing Full Extreme Longwear Eyeliner.
The Upswing Full-Volume Mascara is a clean mascara that features tree berry wax that is an alternative to beeswax that will give you buildable lashes with lightweight volume. The Upswing Full Extreme Longwear Eyeliner is a felt-tip liner that glides on smoothly and precisely for a bold liner look. It contains passionflower extract to nourish so the liner doesn’t dry out or flake. The colour is also jet black and is long wearing, flake-free and smudge-resistant.
This is such a great set to pick up if you’ve been wanting to try out BITE’s mascara and eyeliner. I’ve tried the mascara but not the eyeliner yet, and since it’s a mini size, it’s perfect for travel or tossing in my bag for touchups. Plus, it’s currently on sale, so nab it while you have the chance.
BITE Beauty has a bunch of other sets for the holidays, as well as items that would make your festive makeup look extra special this season. Make sure you check them out online or at Sephora!
