Bite Beauty Frozen Berries Matte Creme Lipstick in Elderberry

I've been siting on the limited edition Bite Beauty Frozen Berries Matte Creme Lipstick in the shade Elderberry since late summer when I picked it up at Sephora. I have been loving it since the start of the Autumn/Winter season; the colour didn't feel appropriate for use until then. Elderberry was one of the only shades left in the collection, but that was fine as I was totally on a dark berry/ purple lip colour kick.

I had heard of Bite Beauty a few times prior to my trip, but it wasn't something I was super familiar with. Their lipsticks contain food-grade ingredients which makes them, theoretically, perfectly fine to eat. Though to be fair, if you spend $24 on a lipstick you are hardly going to eat it.

The colour is a super deep, almost blackened burgundy red; it almost appears black in the tube at times. The pigmentation is a medium sheer which, if you want the true colour payoff, the you have to layer a bit. If worn sheered out, then the colour is much more just deep burgundy red coloured. For a matte creme lipstick, it has a very glossy sheen to it. When it fades away it leaves behind a stain, which just hints at the colour it used to be.

How scary does it look?! Honestly I was a bit scared at first that it would end up being too dark for me. With Elderberry being such a rich and deep colour, expert precision must be taken when applying. Any faults or imperfections are very obvious with such a lipstick. I use a dark lipliner to outline and fill in the lips before hand.

I totally in love with this lipstick, but I'm sad that I can only really realistically wear it during the colder months. I'm maybe have to find a way to make it work during summer.

How do you feel about the brand Bite Beauty? Admittedly I still don't know much about them...

MAC: Fraud or Not?

It's getting to the time of year when people start gathering together all there gifts in the rush to the holiday season. They start trying to get the best gifts possible for the best price they can. Unfortunately that leaves them vulnerable for people to take advantage of them. The most common form of this is through the use of counterfeit goods. Recently a MAC lipstick was purchased for me, as a Christmas gift, from eBay. When I learned of it I was immediately sceptical and dubious of how genuine it was; I like to research into the item and view the pictures available myself. When I checked the listing, the lipstick was listed as 'MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick'. Upon looking at the details and the images available, I noticed that there were very few specifics and one general image of the lipstick with the lid off. I immediately wrote to the seller asking for pictures of the bottom label on the box and the lipstick tube (Well as details such as finish and shade). I kn...

Totally Fabby MAC Lipstick!

I'm in the middle of shopping for new products; sort of preparing for the transition from winter to spring. Instead of picking up deep burgundies and warm chocolates, I have started to pick up pastel pinks and vanillas. I cannot wait of the warmer weather to roll in. MAC frost lipstick in the shade Fabby was one of those new seasonal additions I picked up recently. Fabby is a really muted rosy pink shade with a frost finish. The draw point, for me, is the frost sheen gives kind of a golden overlay to the lips. The golden tone just adds an extra dimension, and helps brighten up any makeup look. For being a frost finish, the colour pigmentation is quite opaque with a single swipe. The texture is not that creamy, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'd describe it more as very similar to that of a MAC matte finish; creamy and not glossy. I feel that Fabby is one of MACs more overlooked shades; passed over in favour of the more hyped about lipstic...

Barry M Colour Changing Lip Paint in Neptune

Remember way, way back, back to the very beginning of my blog. One of the very first products that I reviewed was the Barry M Lip Paint in the shade Genie. For those who don't know, Genie is an unusual colour changing lipstick. While it looks green in the tube, it turns a shade of pink on the lips that is supposed to be different for each person. It is supposed to be a result of the lipstick reacting to the alkaline level of the lips.
