Hot Harissa

Bite Beauty Hot Harissa Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark copper with warm, red undertones and a satin sheen. The color payoff was fantastic with opaque, even coverage delivered in a single, fluid stroke. The lipstick had just enough slip to apply without pulling on my lips, but the product adhered well to my lips for stellar, six-hour wear that was comfortable and moisturizing. It wasn’t quite as kind to my lip lines as other shades in the range, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance.

Formula Overview

$26.00/0.15 oz. - $173.33 Per Ounce

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is supposed to have “bold, creamy color” with “extreme moisture, soft texture, and creamy wear.” The majority of the range is very pigmented–typically opaque with one pass–with a few shades being semi-opaque but usually buildable. All 34 shades are shimmer-free and vary being a soft satin finish to a natural finish (light shine but not glossy).

The consistency is very lightly creamy to lightly creamy with some shades requiring light-medium pressure and can pull the lip a bit when gliding it across the lips, though the color doesn’t appear ragged and the bullet itself doesn’t feel stiff (while other shades applied without tugging, so check individual shade reviews!) The majority of the shades I’ve tested have been lightly hydrating to non-drying and fairly comfortable to wear for the long-haul. They wear longer than average, from four to eight hours, depending on the intensity and propensity of the shade to stain.

Saffron Fire

Bite Beauty Saffron Fire Amuse Bouche Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a vivid, medium coral with stronger, warm orange undertones and a satin finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that was thicker and denser than typical lipsticks but not stiff or heavy to wear. The color applied evenly and wore well for over six hours, while the formula felt hydrating while worn.
