Trend: BITE Beauty

One of my favorite lip tints is Bite Beauty's Lush Lip Tint.

What it is: 
It's a buildable color with lots of nice things in it (pure argan oil, vitamin E, fruit butters, antioxidants).

Why I recommend it:

• It's lightly moisturizing. It's not quite a ChapStick substitute if your lips are crackly-dry, but the feather-lightness of this buildable formula means it doesn't look clumpy if your lips are a little dry, and that center balm will help bring back a bit of moisture.
• Buildable color. The colors are great, both cools and warms (yes, even neutrals), and it's just enough to breathe life back into your lips without committing to a bold look. If you layer it on, the color can become medium coverage.
• It's good for you. BITE loves adding good-for-you ingredients including antioxidants and no harsh dyes or parabens etc. 

I personally own the colors Tangelo (a vibrant coral dipping its toes in the realm of orange) and Lychee (a pretty and subtle neutral, very natural-looking). I think these lip tints and BITE's super-high-pigment lip pencils are a great lip statement especially when you want your lips to take the sole spotlight of your make-up look.

However, I did not like the Honey Lip Lacquer-- Stay away from this product if you don't like the idea of slapping some super-tacky glue on your lips. It's not worth it!!!

The BITE Contour Lip liner wasn't as pigmented as I would've liked. I don't dislike the concept of the shape-- it's actually a nice idea to have a chisel tip for a lip liner-- and the packaging was good. I just didn't find the color (mine was Nutmeg, a muted natural pinky-brown) to show up enough nor did it have any staying power.

All in all, BITE's attention to healthy food-grade ingredients and pretty bright colors will keep the brand on my radar.
