BITE Beauty at Sephora

Hey dears!

Here’s the full launch deets for the BITE Beauty Collection we were discussing yesterday.

The products are a natural anti-aging beauty for your lips which fuses alluring colors with the age defying benefits of powerful antioxidants derived from natural and good grade ingredients making your lip products better for YOU!

BITE Beauty is actually the first ever lipstick line to contain Red Wine Resveratrol, delivering a micro-dose of antioxidants with every application.

Resveratrol is the health-boosting component found in red wine, whose powerful antioxidant effects assist the body in the fight against free radicals. Those fun kids over at 100% Pure put it in their skincare but BITE puts it in their lip products. Each BITE Lipstick has the equivalent of five glasses of red wine it to restore and maintain youthful lips but no worries it won’t get you drunk! No one likes a drunk girl with perfect lipstick ha!

Essential oils and jojoba beads provide hydration while the antioxidant-rich Resveratrol helps reduce wrinkles and the appearance of fine lines.

BITE Beauty has a list compiled of what makes up a BITE Beauty woman one of item they listed that stuck out for me was, “She’s a woman who about natural and organic, but not at the expense of performance.”

This really hits it on the head for me. So many natural, organic ranges get it wrong. Let’s be honest here. Most natural lines of makeup forsake quality to deliver a good for you formula or at least they have in my experience….however, from the looks of what I’ve seen so far of BITE we might be in for a richly pigmented experience plus the natural, organic ingredients to go along with it!

Women apply lipstick an average of five times a day. Lips are licked, lipstick is absorbed. That�s why BITE believes lipstick should be good enough to eat.

Here’s BITE’s menu of products.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

        Hi ladies! I work for Bite Beauty and it is cruelty free.
        Our products are not tested on animals.

        • SaraJane

          Hi Elena,

          I was wondering if you could tell me which Bite products are vegan? I’d love to try some of these, they look fantastic!

          Yay for no animal testing, by the way! 🙂

          • Elena Beveridge

            Hi SaraJane,
            I would like to be able to say that
            our products are vegan, but one of
            our colors, Carmine, is derived
            from beetles. Also, we use organic
            beeswax. I hope this helps!

          Good to hear! Could you please answer these questions for me since you work for Bite? No one is reponding to my emails.

          *Do you test any ingredients or finished products?

          *Is there any third party testing?

          *Who are you owned by?

          *Do you sell in China?

          *Do you consider yourself cruelty-free?

          *Are you vegan? If not, what animal derived ingredients do products contain and are animals harmed in the getting of these ingredients?

          Thank you! Hope to hear from you soon.
          Sarah

            I am VERY concerned that this was the only question that the Marketing Director refused to respond to. Testing ingredients and selling in China both are not cruelty free. Just not testing the product does not make a company cruelty free. i will avoid BIte until they respond… which is a shame because i wanted to buy a lip stain…

          • Nancy

            Bite Beauty is on Leaping Bunny which means they’re certified cruelty free. So glad!

  • jenna

    i’m really excited about this stuff!! smell and taste will now be the deciding factors. i’m sure you’ll have the good word soon! 🙂

  • Lynn

    Need to check if they are free of the ingredient “gallate”. I’m guessing they have not chemicals but need to check as I have a sking allergy to that.

    • Elena Beveridge

      Hi Lynn,
      We do not use gallate in our ingredient list but we cannot unfortunately
      guarantee that our ingredients have not come into contact with gallate at
      our suppliers’ facilities which are sourced from around the world.
      I apologize that I cannot do more for you.

    So the Bite Beauty line cannot be called cruelty free if Carmine is one of the ingredients. Insects (also living, feeling beings) are dried and then boiled to obtain carminic acid.

    Also, look out for the terms Crimson Lake and Cochineal.

    It is important to use the words cruelty-free and vegan carefully.When in doubt, Google. Living a vegan aka cruelty free is veru much about self-education and awareness.

    • S

      @PK–I agree with you. I’m very confused that this company is on Leaping Bunny given they use carmine in their ingredients. How is that not cruelty?
