BITE Beauty Multisticks | Beauty with Benefits
What's up guys? Know that if there is ever time that passes that I haven't written a post, I am ALWAYS trying out new beauty products! There are so many items I've gotten in the mail lately and my birthday just passed so I received a few beauty gifts as well as buying my own items to update my stash on my own, so stay tuned for more. Today I wanted to share 3 new additions to my make up draw: BITE Beauty's Multi-Sticks in Macaroon, Cocoa, and Blondie. The BITE Beauty's Multi-Sticks are designed to be applied to the lips, eyes, and cheeks. For a woman who's always on the go, these products work well into my routine. I like the fact that if I want to wear a little makeup for work, I don't have to spend time applying extra products and when it comes to travel you know I'm all for a multi-purpose product that saves time and packing space! For this review I only tried the product on my lips. I think the colors Blondie and Cocoa may look okay on my eyes and although the formula applies like a cream and wears like a powder, I'm not so sure how I'd like these on my eyes! I don't do a whole lot of color on my lids anyway so, I may try that out later. For now, here are the colors as lipstick. I used lip pencils with two of the shades simply because I didn't want the colors to look flat.
BITE Beauty Multi-stick in Blondie
Warm Beige Creamy semi-matte finish
This color is my least favorite. I thought it would look really pretty when I paired it with my 'Plum' lip liner by MAC, but, eh. I normally wear pink shades like this during the week when I'm at the office for work. The shade comes on as a fleshy tan color. To me it looked a lot better in person. It shows on camera less tan so, I guess it's okay. I'll have to play with other lip liners to see if I will feel comfortable wearing it to work.
BITE Beauty Multi-stick in Cocoa
Dark Chocolate Brown with Creamy semi-matte finish
I actually really love this chocolate color. It's quite different for me because I tend to stick to a whole lot of berry colors and really don't like going outside of that. I loved the finish. This color makes for an excellent Fall shade. Plus, This is a shade I feel like I don't even need a lip liner to wear with. That's a bit of of a shock. I think this is my favorite out of all three.
BITE Beauty Multi-stick in Macaroon
Bright Pink with Creamy semi-matte finish
Now although this could have easily been my favorite, it takes second place. I paired it with MAC's 'Vino' lip pencil and that made it 10 times better. I'm not really a fan of the Barbie looking pink that it gives off. You can't really tell in the photo but it was giving me all types of Barbie pink. Too much of a pop. The lip pencil I used calmed it down a bit. I love it over 'Blondie' up top in the first photo, so this shade gets second place.
Overall, I like the idea of having a multistick, I just wish I would have gotten different shades. I looked online and I really think the colors 'Cerise' and 'Cashew' would have looked better against my skin tone. I'm super picky when it comes to that. I know what I like and what looks good. Another thing I will add is to make sure you exfoliate and apply a little lip balm before wearing these colors. The formula is similar to a semi-matte lipstick, but colors 'Macaroon' and 'Blondie' had my lips feeling dry. These are great silicone-free sticks, however. Even though I mentioned I wouldn't wear them on my eyes, I think they are perfect for lips and cheek because of the creamy semi-matte finish. Another plus with this cosmetic line is that products are made with natural, food-grade and organic ingredients and I love the sort of magnetic snap on top each tube has. The BITE Beauty Multi-sticks retail for $24. That price may be worth it if I find I color I love.
