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!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

April 2nd, 2014 at 4:54 pmHey Karen, have you tried the Givenchy Ombre Couture? I’m really curious to know how they are in terms of texture and staying power.

April 2nd, 2014 at 5:18 pmLove 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.

April 3rd, 2014 at 5:11 amOh, 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.
Amy says
April 3rd, 2014 at 6:20 amHow 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!
Karen says
April 3rd, 2014 at 8:18 amHi 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?
Fran says
April 3rd, 2014 at 6:24 amlol, you make me smile! 🙂 and those Bite lip crayons look beautiful.
Karen says
April 3rd, 2014 at 8:17 amHi Fran,
*Smiling right back atcha!*
Hope you’re having a nice day so far. Is it Friday yet?!
Jaa says
April 3rd, 2014 at 8:54 amSuch 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.
Meg says
April 3rd, 2014 at 8:45 pmI have recently fallen in love with everything Bite Beauty and every time I see a picture of their lipsticks, I feel like I need to go buy another shade. lol this is bad, very bad!

April 6th, 2014 at 10:29 ami 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!
