Dang, these Bite Beauty Lip Pencils ($18 each) have serious swag! Shoot, I haven’t been a lip pencil person since on/around ’97, back when I rocked dark purple liner on the daily (unblended, of course), but I guess I’m finally over that trauma, because these pencils? They’re doing things to me! 🙂
Where do I start?? They feel light and glorious, glide across my lips and don’t tug at all. Plus, they last all day long and, unlike so many other lip pencils out there, they don’t dry out my lips. I’d almost call them borderline hydrating.
They just might be the most comfortable lip pencils I’ve ever worn.
They’re like long-wearing matte lipsticks that are shaped like lip pencils. If I line and fill in my lips with them, then pat a bit of lip balm on top, I’m good for hours. I’ll skip lipstick entirely.
I’ve tried six of the 22 shades, and I can already see myself conveniently turning a blind eye when a coral one “accidentally” falls into my basket during the next Sephora VIB sale. Whoopsies!

You guys, these are SOOOOO good. Highly recommended, and yay! They’re in the permanent line, so they aren’t going anywhere. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I have read that the 15% off for Rouge members is from April 18 through 24. VIB starts on the 19th. But I can’t promise that’s correct.
Hi Amy,
I just got my coupon in the mail but haven’t had the chance to open it. I’m VIB rouge so I’ll be going in on the 18th. What’s on your list?
The Bite Beauty lip pencils are now on my list. 😉
Also Dior Addict Lacquer Stick lipsticks, Buxom White Russian on the Rocks Eyeshadow Bar Palette, Too Faced Natural Love Palette, Tarte Believe in Yourself Eye & Cheek Palette… so many pretty eye palettes right now. It’s going to be hard to choose.
I just finished writing a quick draft reviewing that Tarte palette! Do you have your heart set on it? If you haven’t checked it out, the Tarte The Rainforest of the Sea Vol. 2 is AMAZING! One of my faves from the line, ever.
Can you tell us which shades those are?
Hi Rebecca,
I had a pic with the names that accidentally got erased. Just put it back in so you can see what color is what. From the top: 008, 014, 016, 024, 040 and 042.
Thank you! I’m always shopping for lip liner but haven’t found anything else I like as much as good old MUFE Aqua Lip.
These are on my list. I think I want to test the colors in person instead of taking a chance ordering them online. Is there a classic red? Liking your swatches of 14 and 16.
I’m looking around the Bite Beauty website and can’t seen to find a classic red, OH THE HORROR!

They are non drying and stay put? Where have they been all my life?so far I had either horribly drying ones or comfortable ones that would bleed in my lip lines or smudge all over my face.

I know, right? They’re great.
Yay! I like it when stuff like this is part of permanent line. 014, 016 and 024 are screaming my name <3 <3

I need to find one the color of my lips so I can overdraw a little.

Somehow I can’t seem to master lip liner but it is definitely in the top 3 of my beauty to-learn list.. Its so trendy now too with every brand launching liners so I think this is my time to try!

When I try to do a bright or dark lip liner I just make a mess… I always just use one that’s the color of my lips. It makes my face look more put together and helps keep my lipstick from smearing and helps it last longer. You can also try the “no-color” lip liner – I’ve seen them in drugstores and I know that Make Up For Ever and Lipstick Queen both make one – it’s a clear or very sheer nude.
Oooh, something to add to my growing list of VIB sale items!
Yess! I’ve heard so many good things about these lip pencils! I’ve been meaning to pick one up but I mean… Just one? I don’t think I have that self control but I guess time will tell. (:

Shade 040 is right up my alley!
Oh good, something else to put in my Sephora basket next week. I didn’t have enough. 😉
Haha, I feel ya, girl! My list is so long right now. I have to shave it down!
Any chance you could post a pic of you sporting 008? I’m olive skin tone and even though I really like the color I’m wondering if it’d be too light and pale on me 🙂
