Hi beauties, another week has begun and I hope you all had a lovely weekend with your loved ones. Today I want to review the Best Bite High Pigment Pencil set from Bite Beauty so hope you like it. FYI: This set is currently out of stock from Sephora online so if you really like the set, the best thing to do is walk into your local Sephora and see if they have any still available. This set is last year's I believe and Bite just came out with another of these pencil set this year but with different colours of course so if you like the review you can certainly consider the new set. Bite Beauty is exclusively to Sephora USA just bear that in mind. They should really consider making their products available in Europe as well because people will go nuts with them, just saying.
This little set contains 4 deluxe sized crayon pencils and they are described as high in pigmentation, long lasting with matte finish, and apparently they are all infused with food grade ingredients that are good enough to eat. Emmm... Don't know about that but it's good to know that these lip products have some natural ingredients so that they are safe for our lips because I don't know about you guys, for me I like to lick my lips, bad habit but can't help it, so definitely a thumbs up for that.
I can tell you right now that they are definitely worth the hype and perform as described on the tin. They are incredibly pigmented like you wouldn't believe even the nude one. They feel extremely comfortable on the lips and they do last pretty well throughout the day. I mean I do touchup after drinking and eating but you can easily get away with the nice stain that they leave on your lip without touching up. They are semi-matte finish I would say but after a while they do tend to lose the little shininess that you get from when freshly applied and become pretty matte. They are not lip stain kind of "matte" that's for sure which I actually prefer.
The good thing about these pencils are that they don't require sharpener because they are twist-up ones, and the tip are pretty fine so you don't even need lip liners.
Now Let's get into the swatch. Note: the "Cranberry" is a limited edition shade, exclusive to this set. I won't swatch this colour because one of my best friends really wanted to try some bite lip products so I would be giving this to her therefore I can't open it, sorry about that, but I will show you a swatch from beauty redefined who is an incredible beauty blogger.

Cranberry (Limited Edition), a classic vibrant red and slightly blue toned, really pretty and very festive, would be great for Christmas. I really want to keep this one for myself as I love a good red and the formula of these pencils are just ahh-mazing, but hey bestie is more important right plus my husband will be in America again so he can pick another one of this up if it's still available of course.
Quince, a vibrant fuchsia that is so darn pretty for all skin tones, but bear in mind that this shade transfers everywhere around my lip so my suggestion would be blot your lip after with a tissue and you're good to go. A great fun bold colour for a night-out in the town. Agreed?
Rhubarb, a muted mauve that has a slight pink and brown tint in it. My favourite in the bunch, so wearable, so pretty, a great Kylie Jenner kinda lip colour. I'm obsessed with it. It can be worn all year round, day and night. Love love.
Lastly Madeira which is a pale pink nude but also has a slight beige in it. It is more matte than the other 3, and is probably my least favourite in the set because it is just too nude for my like, but that being said, the formula is amazing and it is actually really pretty layered with Rhubarb so that it doesn't look as nude.
There you have it guys. This set is truly amazing and I definitely will pick up some other Bite products when I get the chance, but Bite Beauty if you are listening, please make your products available in Europe because a lot of us who live this part of the world also wanna get some and try.
Question: what's your favourite Bite lip product? xx @eflicciardello
