I didn’t quite know what to expect when I received a box of Amuse Bouche by Bite Beauty lipsticks last week, but new pretty things to play around with always makes for a good day for me! I’ve amassed a bevy of lipsticks at this point, but was truly impressed by the pigmentation and long-lasting qualities of this new line.
The range of shades is incredible, from a 90’s-tastic mauve to deep garnet and big, bold reds. I received three shades from the brand – Pepper, Beetroot and Gazpacho, all of which are actually pretty amazing on my coloring since I’ve transitioned back to blonde hair!
Here I am touching up the shade Pepper, which in all honestly, I have no idea why they would name a muted satiny mauve lipstick Pepper, unless it was in reference to the band that was mildly popular in the 90’s, an era that this lipstick evokes for me, and I’m totally OK with it.
The lipsticks have a slight citrusy scent when applying, but I couldn’t really detect anything after a little while. I did find the formula to be slightly drying after a few hours and felt the need to search for some balm to add back moisture, even though they boast containing “12 edible oils” and “lip-quenching nutrients.” All in all, I would buy these lipsticks again in the more bold shades, such as Sorbet (Juicy Watermelon), or Radish (Deep Magenta) due to their staying power, but $26 for an everyday lipstick would be at the high end for me. Available at Sephora in 34 shades.
