What the Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayons Are Really Thinking About at Sephora, Plus New Divergent-Themed Makeup and Givenchy Ombre Couture

April 2nd, 2014 by Karen 21 Comments

A visit to Sephora
Haaaay!

The following is an un-redacted transcript of a conversation that occurred among the six $24 limited edition Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayons at the Novato, California, Sephora store at precisely 9:55 a.m. on Wednesday, April 2, 2014.

KUMQUAT: Wake up, you guys! Show time in five minutes. Chop-chop!

GRAPE: Awwww, come on, man! Just 10 more minutes, please? I’m so sleepy…

KUMQUAT: No way, Grape. Everyone, UP! UP! UP! We need to look perky when the store opens. Remove your caps, back straight, and get in position. Stand proud like the pigmented lipsticks you are!

CLEMENTINE: Geez Louise, Kumquat! — chill! I don’t see why we have to hurry. I mean, who visits a Sephora at 10 o’clock sharp on a Wednesday?

We have time. Let’s have a nice breakfast together as a family for once. I could make those pigment pancakes you like? 🙂

KUMQUAT: Absolutely not. I shouldn’t have to say this, again, but we stand at the front of the store.

The front of the store! Do you have any idea what that means?! We have to look our best every day. It’s…

Wait — shhh! Don’t make a sound. Someone just walked through the door…

IT’S A CUSTOMER!

SATSUMA: Oh, it’s that same girl from the other day again, the one who’s always covered in cat hair.

Why is she always here?! And doesn’t she have one of those pet hair roller things? I mean, come on! This is Sephora, for crying out loud. Sacred ground. People be rollin’ up here in skinny jeans lookin’ like they just fell out of bed two minutes ago.

SWEETY: Be nice, Satsuma. I see her all the time. She’s actually pretty cool. She takes pics and swatches for her friends. I think she’s on YouTube…

BLOOD ORANGE: Oh, really? Pictures, you say? Well, point her my way because I love having my picture taken.

Yoo-hoo! HEY, LADY! OVER HEEERE!

KUMQUAT: Just stop it already! She’s coming over. Remember, the customers can’t know that we talk amongst ourselves. We’re supposed to be inanimate. Stand straight, shut up and sit still. It’s time to go to work!

    Hehe, this was awesome! I can just imagine the products judging and discussing us as we come by, just as we do to them! 😀

    I desperately want to try some Bite lip products!! Wish they were available here…

    Love your outfit! Mattes don’t get along well on my dry lips, but I should check out the Bite ones to see if they are more nourishing. The colors are pretty for spring.

    Oh, that was awesome. You should bring Satsuma home just so she can see how hard it is to keep cat-hair-free. 🙂

    Didn’t Bite do a True Blood theme? I remember eying one for quite a while.

    How do the Divergent shadows hold up? The colors are great and I love the names (refreshing to have a shadow named “intelligent”!).

    Thanks so much for the fun posts! I agree with Emi!

      Hi Amy,

      I haven’t had the chance to test them on my lids, although based on the quick swatch, the powders felt creamy and soft. I’m betting they’d be easy to blend (you’d probably have to be careful of fallout though). The glitters did feel a little crunchy, but that’s pretty typical.

      Did you get the chance to watch the movie yet?

    Such a fun post to read, Karen! I wonder what they would be saying about me if they could really talk! 😀 I have Kumquat so it’s nice to see that everyone listens to her, haha.

    i swatched these the other day! another youtube lady i follow loves the shade GRAPE, and i had to see it for myself. yeno, the orchid/purple craze this year. 🙂 i wasn’t too keen on it, since i’m scared of colour, but i did like the blood orange 🙂

    but i’m not a matte girl. i did order pomegranate along with a beauty blender duo. (i know, i’m late to the game when it comes to beauty blender) i might hit sephora this week, to see the becca brush, before the 15% off coupon expires 😀

    thanks for the tour, karen!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
