Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix 2014 Holiday Set: REVIEW & SWATCHES

If you've been keeping up with the newest beauty products like myself, then you must know there is a MASSIVE amount of limited edition holiday sets and value kits this year! This season, the Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix is one of the most talked about sets because of its great value. 

Price: $25

Availability: Limited Edition, Sephora stores ONLY

The set includes 4 mini sized samples of Bite Beauty's High Pigment Lip Pencil which come inside a red, travel sized, metal, 'mint container' with a mirror for application. Each pencil is 0.05 oz, which may not sound like much, but since one full sized High Pigment Lip Pencil is $24 for 0.09 oz, you're getting the equivalent of TWO FULL SIZED pencils for only $1 more!

Swatches from left to right 

Pomegranate, Rhubarb, Sable, Winterberry

Pomegranate is a cool toned, bright red with blue undertones. Since I have warm toned skin, this would not be my go-to red lipstick. However, this color is still flattering and does not wash out my makeup. (Permanent shade)

Rhubarb is a warm toned, muted, dusty pink color. This color is not too bright, like Pomegranate and Winterberry, and can be nicely worn for an everyday use to give your lips a pop of color. (Permanent shade)

Sable is a warm toned, beige color and would definitely be a great everyday nude lipstick. Out of the entire set, I think this shade would have to be my favorite since it is very wearable and versatile. In my opinion, Sable will look great on fair to light skin, but would look more washed out on darker counterparts. (Limited edition shade)

Winterberry is a pinkish-red color with blue undertones. In comparison to Pomegranate, this shade can have varying degrees of redness or pinkness depending your skin tone. For example, in my swatch, this shade appears to be very similar to Pomegranate, a rich red color, but may appear more pink on others. (Limited edition shade) 

Unlike some holiday sets from other brands, these Bite lipsticks have very similar quality to their permanent collection. Bite is known to have super soft and pigmented lipsticks. All these lipsticks applied evenly and have an easy glide application. In addition, they have a creamy, glossy finish and do not dry out your lips. These can last about 5 to 6 hours, but can be applied with a lip liner or lip primer underneath to ensure staying power. While some may look better than others, I also like that the range of shades in this set are generally wearable and try to accommodate both warm and cool skin tones. Overall, I would highly recommend this product, especially at this value, for a gift or to keep for yourself!
