BITE Me

With summer knocking at the door I've gone searching for the perfect summer lip products that are bright & cheery, moisturizing, and of course made with clean ingredients. One line that caught my attention is Bite Beauty. Bite Beauty is a cosmetics line that offers solely lip products. From 'lush lip tint' to 'Agave lip mask' to 'matte creme lip crayons' Bite is the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow for your lips. Their tag line is "Lip Color That's Good Enough to Eat" and according to BITE "Bite Beauty is a natural lip care company operating out of downtown Toronto. Our mission is to create lipstick that is high performance and healthy enough to eat for women everywhere." Bite Beauty boxes read "99% Natural" and "Natural Food Grade". Who wouldn't want lip products that are good enough to eat? After all, we tend to eat off whatever is on our lips throughout the day by constantly licking our lips or applying lip balm before a meal. If you aren't already sold by "Lip Color That's Good Enough to Eat" then listen up. According to sephora.com, "Each Bite lipstick is infused with the age-fighting antioxidant resveratrol—the equivalent of five glasses of wine." Apparently you can have your wine and drink it too. 

Bite products are formulated WITHOUT:
 Parabens
 Sulfates
 Synthetic Fragrances
 Synthetic Dyes
 Petrochemicals
 Phthalates
 GMOs
 Triclosan 

Of the Bite Beauty line I have tried the 'High Pigment Pencil', 'Line & Define Lip Primer', 'Lush Lip Tint', and 'Luminous Creme Lipstick'. The 'Lush Lip Tint' is perfect for summer because it moisturizes, delivers luscious color, and contains ingredients such as pure argan oil, vitamin E, and fruit butters. The center B provides resveratrol, a double dose of antioxidants found in red wine and the more layers you apply on your lips- the more color you get.

The 'High Pigment Pencil' provides creamy, long-lasting matte lip color. The pencils are made with a double-dose of premium micronized pigments to deliver a modern matte look. Personally, I found this pencil to have a creamy lipstick-like finish. It wasn't glossy but it also wasn't matte. The 'High Pigment Pencil' is perfect for summer nights (and days) because the sultry, luscious formula will last through happy hour, dinner, and dancing.

To keep my lip color lasting well into the day or night I like to prime with the 'Line & Define Lip Primer'. This 100 percent natural, moisturizing formula instantly preps, plumps, and primes the lips. Upon application you can feel the tingly mint plumping while the resveratrol, jojoba oil, and argan oil condition and smooth. This primer applies matte (well what I consider matte) and adheres to clean lips. Sometimes I apply it over lip balm but I found that the primer works better on clean lips. I use this primer under my lipsticks and lip pencils for longer lasting color.

While there are numerous lipsticks on the market I like Bite Beauty's 'Luminous Creme Lipstick' because of the lush, long-lasting, moisture-rich lip color and the free radical fighting benefits of resveratrol. Like the rest of Bite's products the 'Luminous Creme Lipstick' is free of synthetics, polybutenes, and petroleum byproducts.

Once you try a Bite lip product you'll fall in love. Bite feels, smells, and tastes fresh and their colors will satisfy every mood, occasion, and age. So go ahead and indulge in Bite Beauty, just try not to eat your own lips off.
