Bite Beauty's The Lip Pencil & Amuse Bouche Lipstick Review
As a single woman over the age of 35 with very little time in the morning, I've got my regular makeup routine down to a science: wash, moisturize, foundation, eyeshadow, mascara, and eyebrows. If needed (which I usually do) I dab on some concealer under my eyes or on any blemishes that seem to appear even though I graduated high school in the 90's. I'm usually running late, so I finish my look with some pressed powder and tinted lip gloss or balm which I apply in my building's elevator. I normally don't bother with lipstick because I don't have the time or patience to apply it in the morning and then have to reapply it throughout the day. I usually find lipsticks dry out my lips with daily use and lip liners? Forget it; they are a lost cause for me. If I don't have the time or inclination to apply lipstick, I definitely don't have the extra time to line my lips before I apply the absent lipstick. But I do enjoy wearing a dramatic lip shade when I go out at night or adding a pretty colour to my lips for brunch with friends, but that's it. Until now. I recently was sent two of
Bite Beauty's lip pencils and two sample-sized Amuse Bouche lipsticks for free to test out and review. And to my pleasant surprise, I have been wearing the lipstick (almost) daily for the past month.

I'm in love with Bite Beauty's Amuse Bouche lipsticks! Not only did the lipsticks not dry out my lips, but I only had to reapply a few times throughout my long day, the lipstick stayed on my lips through two coffee runs! Made from nourishing oils and ingredients, the Amuse Bouche lipstick made my lips feel and look amazing. The lipstick was creamy and easy to apply. There is a hint of a fresh citrus scent and taste, which is a nice pick-me-up in my busy morning.

The two lipstick colours I was sent were perfect for me. Honeycomb is a fabulous neutral shade that I wore daily. Whiskey is an amazing dramatic colour that I got alot of compliments on when I wore it out at night. My only concern is that the darker Whiskey shade did bleed a little when I didn't use the lip pencil. With 34 shades to choose from, there is a colour for every skin tone and taste. I highly recommend everyone try out Bite Beauty's Amuse Bouche lipstick, its made for the lipstick guru and makeup skeptic equally.

As I've stated before, I'm not a lover of lip liners, but if I had to wear one, it would be Bite Beauty's Lip Pencil. Like the lipstick, it's creamy formula made it super easy to apply and I didn't look a clown, which is always a bonus:) Formulated without harmful ingredients and made with Shea Butter, it feels amazing on. I was sent shade 020 and 044, which matched the Amuse Bouche lipsticks perfectly. Inspired from natural lip tones, there are 22 neutral shades to choose from. The only drawback to The Lip Pencil was when I applied it as full lip coverage; it brought some unwanted attention to lines and dry patches on my lips. Bite Beauty says it can be used on its own, but I believe that the Bite Beauty Lip Scrub and Primer would have to be used before using The Lip Pencil as full coverage.
Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipsticks retail for $30 and The Lip Pencils sell for $20 each. Both can be found at Sephora stores and
Sephora.ca.
P.s!: Bite Beauty is Canadian! The products are made in house at their lab in Toronto.
