Bite Beauty- Color + Shine To Go is a set of three travel size lip products. Included are two mini Luminous Creme lipsticks in Pepper (red-based mauve) and Fig (medium rose), and also a warm pink lip gloss in Sante. My previous experience with Bite Beauty lipsticks was very positive, so I was happy to add two more of these good-for-you products to my collection (Bite Beauty lipsticks and glosses are made of all natural lip nurturing food-grade ingredients).
The soft and creamy formula is as good as I remembered, but the mini lipsticks are more fragile than the full size ones, which is how I found myself with a broken lipstick upon the first use. I pressed it back together and have been very careful not to twist the lipstick too far out, not to apply pressure (better to use a lip brush), but this also means I don't take these two with me in my purse, which is the whole purpose of a "to go" set. I do like the colors very much and may consider buying the full size ones once I run out (hollow laugh, I know).
Bite Beauty lip gloss in Sante is nice and shiny, non-sticky and very comfortable to wear. The color does little for me, though it's fine on top of these lipsticks. I wish the shade chosen for this set was darker. Bite has a few others I'm very eager to try: Plum, Cinnamon, Saffron, and Vintage, to name a few.
Botton Line: a good value, some tweaking needed.
Bite Beauty- Color + Shine To Go set ($15) is available from Sephora.
I have been wanting to try some Bite Beauty lippies, but always forget to check them out when I go to Sephora (largely because I go into a state of sensory overload unless I go with a shopping list and a list of things to try). These are lovely looking, but a broken mini lipstick is no good!! I will definitely take a closer look at their full-sized products next time I go! Thanks for the great review, Gaia.
