Out of all of the beauty brands, BITE Beauty has got to be the most popular for the past year or so for their lip products. Whenever I hear of someone going to Sephora, the first lip products they aim for will be from the BITE Beauty shelf. It made me want to try their lipsticks and lip mask so bad!
Unfortunately, BITE Beauty isn’t widely available in Australia. It’s currently stocked in Sephora Sydney and there’s a store called Kleins Perfumery in Melbourne that stocks it too. That’s it, I’m afraid. I could be wrong though so please correct me in the comments if you can get BITE Beauty elsewhere in Australia.
When I was in Sydney last month, one of the places I made sure to visit was Sephora. And yes, the first stand I went to was BITE Beauty. Unfortunately, they ran out of the Agave Lip Masks (boo!) so I decided to pick one of the lipsticks up instead, and that’s the Luminous Creme Lipstick in Rosé.
It’s a beautiful rosy shade. It’s not pink but it’s not stark red either so the best way to describe it would be, well, rosy. The pictures actually reflect the shades well yet it’s strange because when swatched on my arm, it looks like a rosy red but on the lips, it’s almost rosy pink. It’s still pretty nevertheless and you know, it’s even prettier when worn blotted. I didn’t really like the almost-milky rosy pink it showed when I first applied it on the lips. However, when I blotted it a couple of times, it left a beautiful rosy red matte stain on the lips that looked far better.
To be honest, I’m not sure if I like it. Many beauty bloggers and YouTubers rave about how creamy BITE Beauty lipsticks are but to me, this felt dry on the lips. I don’t know if it’s just the lipstick I purchased or if it’s like that on the whole. I’m not a fan of the rubbery packaging either. It’s reminiscent of NARS and you know I don’t like their rubbery packaging.
All in all, I’m afraid I’m slightly disappointed with this lipstick. I thought it would be really good but I’m still on the fence about it. Hmmm.
I picked this up at Sephora Sydney. I can’t remember the exact amount I paid for; I want to say it’s around the $35 mark? I don’t remember it being over $40.
Hi Tine,
The Iconic, also sells Bite Lipsticks and a few others from their range, I don’t think it’s their full range, but I think they stock a variety of shades to select from. You were pretty close to retail price, it’s sells for $36.95 and free postage if you spend $50 and over. I haven’t tried Bite before, but maybe not so keen now because I much prefer creamy lipsticks than matte one’s that’s makes my lips feel like card board.
Here’s a link 🙂

Oooh I didn’t know that The Iconic sells BITE lipsticks too! Thanks very much for the heads up! 🙂
You can get Bite Beauty at Natural Supply Co and Adore Beauty, and also my pharmacy at work (RMH/RWH hospital shops) has it!!!!
Thanks for letting me know Anna! Aww man Adore Beauty has them too? I HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK.
What a shame this feels dry on your lips. I had the same experience with Palomino, a bright fuchsia. It too wasn’t that creamy and dried my lips after a couple of hours. After hearing how creamy these lippies were, I thought Palomino could be the dud in the line. Now I am started to think these lippies are just overrated. The colours are very pretty though.

The colours sure are pretty but I have to agree with you Gio. I’m wondering if they are overrated because I didn’t think what I tried was all that. Having said that, I’ve only tried just one lipstick from the brand so perhaps it’s too soon to tell. I do want to get another one though from another range and definitely an Agave Lip Mask as well.
