Bite Beauty is a brand I hold special interest to: I generally like their colors but not enough to pay for their item at regular retail. That's why I always cave in when Sephora offers Bite minis. Back in spring a small lip crayon was offered as a 100pt perk and of course I had to get it.
Matte Creme Lip Crayon is a creamy (but not too squishy) lip pencil with a smooth finish without shine (but it isn't matte to me). The tip is pointed enough to draw a line while the slant is enough for shading. The shade available was a purply mauve called Pastille (why most of these freebies are either mauve or fuchsia aka colors I hate?)
The texture is very smooth and comforting, something that doubles as thick balm on a cold dry day. If it weren't for the (edgy grandma kind of) shade, I actually see myself keeping it in my bag.
This is the same problem I have with lipsticks, they are all purple/white/blue based, so gross. I'm so over lipsticks, I have to accept the fact that I can never find the perfect shade. Everything is so garish these days. Even lancome and Chanel and Dior make such ugly shades these days. And forget drugstore, I ain't touching that stuff anymore.
ReplyDeleteI tried that popular lancome 264 shade. Gross. Pulls so purple muave. Why are asians going nuts over that? I'm currently mixing my lipsticks, I use a brighter shade as a base coat then add lancome rouge in love lipstick 232m. I don't like that shade anymore (it's too pale-I've gone really tan) but can't find anything better.
ReplyDeleteI haven't posted in a while but my makeup is pretty much 90% sorted. Lancôme released 40 shades of the foundation in September so I got my base all sorted out. Everything sorted out except for lipstick and blush. Everything else I know what to buy now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten any lipstick recently (last month or so...minus freebies and point perks from Sephora) but my back log through out the whole year could fill the blog (It's more like a lipstick-other crap diary) for a little while...
DeleteLast few months I was suddenly interested in powder and foundation (guess my skintone is finally uneven enough) and skincare (it takes me months to test a product)...I have stopped mass hoarding lipstick for now but different drugstore palettes are still fun to hoard. It's just now I don't get much time/sunlight to take pictures.
Anyway, I kinda wish I lost interest in makeup but it seems hopeless.
