Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in 'Fig'

After falling in love with Bite Beauty's lipstick formula from using their dual ended mini lipsticks, I decided to get my hands on one of their full-sized lipsticks!

The packaging is sleek and modern. The design is seamless using a matte, rubbery gray material with the Bite logo printed on the bottom of the tube.  The lipsticks come in 4 different styles of cap which are supposed to look like the different ways lipsticks can get worn down! The style of cap on each lipstick is dependent on color family--reds, neutrals, pinks, and berries.  The brand sets itself apart by only using edible ingredients in their lipsticks and also includes an ingredient called resveratrol, a super antioxidant. Each tube contains as much resveratrol as 5 glasses of wine!

The color I chose is 'Fig,' a gorgeous nude rose.  

Fig is a super warm pink that has peach undertones making it very wearable for my complexion. I like that the color is a bit punchy and more noticeable then a nude lip but still a neutral and professional color. 

The lipsticks are very moisturizing and last quite a while on the lips. They do transfer while eating and drinking but I find they don't smear and instead fade naturally and evenly away. 

Bite Beauty lipsticks cost $24 for 0.15oz of product. To compare with some popular brands, MAC lipsticks are $17 for 0.1oz of product, Kat Von D lipsticks are $21 for 0.1oz of product, and Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks are $22 for 0.1oz of product.

I really like the way this product feels and wears on my lips. Given that I have such a huge problem with dryness and the appearance of my lips, I will probably be repurchasing from this brand in the future.

Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Duo in 'Fig/Date'

It's official. BITE has stolen my heart. It's no secret that I'm constantly on the pursuit of the perfect lipstick for me and after trying out one of these little creme lipstick duos I knew I had to get another.  This little Luminous Creme Duo is in the combo 'Fig' and 'Date.'  These gorgeous neutrals are housed in a small double-ended container with BITE's logo classily displayed on the side. 

Now when I say small, I mean small! This little duo is perfect for your purse, however these little lippies unfortunately won't last very long due to their petite size. I suggest purchasing this if you already have one of the colors and want to use this for touch-ups or if you're interested in trying out this brand. This duo is a great way to try out some colors and for only $12, it won't break the bank!

Fig is a beautiful muted pink that is definitely very pink but still classy and understated. Date is a peachy beige color that is one of those colors that goes with every outfit and every makeup look--no thinking required!  These lipsticks are ultra moisturizing to the touch and extremely comfortable on the lips. They don't have the best staying power when it comes to eating and drinking but that's the beauty of this compact container! It'll fit in the tiniest of clutches for touch-ups on date night :)

Top: Date, Bottom: Fig

These little lipstick duos are limited edition so if you're interested in trying out the brand then I suggest you get your hands on these fast! Also grab these if you like a particular color combo you see as the combos are changed all the time! Currently this combo is available on Sephora here!

NYX Round Lipstick in 'Fig'

NYX is a brand that is ultra hit-or-miss for me.  They have some great products like their blushes, jumbo eye pencils and butter glosses to name a few, but then they have some products that just aren't any good.  I only own one NYX lipstick (review here!), so I wanted to pick up another one to see if I like them! I chose the color 'Fig,' a deep rose color.

This lipstick is like paint! It is SO creamy and a bit thick in consistency.  It is super pigmented.

This color was a bit warmer on my skin than I thought it would be, but I still think it is quite pretty.

As you can see, this is a full color, full impact lipstick.  It is really moisturizing which makes it very comfortable to wear.  I really like wearing a light wash of this over my lips and then putting a lighter color like MAC Hue on the center of my lips for a pouty and multi-dimensional effect.

I would recommend this lipstick because I think it is a high quality product for only $3.99! NYX can usually be found at BOGO discount prices so I would recommend snagging this and another color for some variety.  Spice up your life!
