BITE Beauty Matte Crème Lip Crayons (Summer | Framboise, Tatin)


Bite Matte Crème Lip Crayon (0.05 oz) retails for $24 USD ($28 CAD) and is currently available in 6 shades, with more to come this Fall. It is said to be "a long-wear, hydrating lipstick that leaves lips with a soft, matte finish."

Framboise is described as a vibrant pink/purple.
Tatin is described as a rose pink. 

 
"Refresh your lip look with a bold wash of color. This BITE Beauty Matte Crème Lip Crayon with Reservatrol offers lip shades in beautiful nudes, striking reds, and deep burgundy hues—in a matte yet moist texture that leaves lips hydrated. Water-resistant and long-lasting, it’s formulated with orange peel wax to lock in moisture, while the resveratrol acts as an antioxidant for lips."
The packaging is a simple, matte black pen-style-tube with a silicone texture. The very bottom section is no longer color coded depending on the shade (like the old style, see below) but instead, can now be popped out to revile a sharpener! They've newly updated this style of packaging so everything under the cap is color coded instead, which looks pretty but it's frustrating not being able to tell which shade is which while being stored.

The scent is somewhere on the slight citrus/herb side. The formula is opaque, soft, smooth and doesn't pull or tug at your lips when applying. The color is buildable and applies fully pigmented and even in a single swipe. For being labeled as a matte finish, these lipsticks are very comfortable to wear and I didn't find the formula drying.

Framboise is a medium raspberry pink. Tatin is a medium pink beige. They both have a satin finish which can leave a slight shine depending how much you build the lipstick. The formula is lightly hydrating when worn and didn't settle into fine lines, bleed or feather. Both lipsticks are long-wearing, very pigmented and depending on the shade, left behind a stain. On average, they wore +6 hours before showing noticeable wear.

The only real downfall with these lipsticks is they are only 0.05 oz. while most other lipsticks (Bite High Pigment Pencils) are 0.09 oz. for the same price. Overall, the formula is very nice for a matte and I really like the sharpener feature built-in to the pencils packaging.

Bite Beauty is releasing more shades into this line come August — which I am planning on picking up some more shades (dark berry lips!) so heads up for another review in the future on the Matte Crème Lip Crayons!
