I received three out of thirty-four of the new Amuse Bouche lipsticks by Bite Beauty from Influenster to review! Bite Beauty replaced their Luminous Creme line with the Amuse Bouche line in February. I only have one lipstick from the Luminous Creme line, so I'll be able to tell you the difference (if any) between them.
If you're not familiar with Bite Beauty, they focus only on lip products, and everything is made with food-grade ingredients. You could actually eat your lipstick, if you wanted! I don't recommend it, but to each their own. ;) Considering studies say we eat four to seven pounds of lipstick throughout our lifetime, I'd say having a lipstick made with food-grade ingredients is a good thing! The three colors I received were Beetroot (bold berry), Gazpacho (true blue-based red), and Pepper (dusty rose). I think Influenster did a great job choosing the colors for this box, because even if you don't love all of the colors, you're bound to like at least one. The Amuse Bouche line is made with "12 edible oils and triple milled pigments, providing saturated lip color with weightless coverage and a citrus flavor made from fresh pressed fruit." These do have a citrusy scent and flavor, which the Luminous line didn't have (to me), but it's not unpleasant. All three colors are extremely pigmented, so a lipliner and a light hand will be your friend. I don't think I own any other bullet lipsticks that are this pigmented. I find all three to be very moisturizing and, even though they aren't marketed as such, long-wearing.
(Top to Bottom: Pepper, Beetroot, Gazpacho)
The above swatches are two swipes of each color. Beetroot gets a lot darker with each layer.
The above is Beetroot applied with a light hand and even then, I
blotted some off.
The above is Pepper, my favorite of the three. It's a perfect neutral, and I love it. I couldn't get a decent picture of me wearing Gazpacho (it was rainy the day I wore it), but it is as described, a true blue-based red.
The Luminous Creme lipstick I have is in the color Vouvray, which is a light pink color. I love that lipstick, but it doesn't have the opacity that the new line does. Weirdly, that's one of the things I like about it. My lips are naturally pigmented, so sometimes I like a lipstick that isn't full coverage so my natural lip color can peak through. Super opaque lipsticks can sometimes look strange on me. The Luminous Creme line was also $24 a lipstick, and the Amuse Bouche line is $26.
To sum it up, the Amuse Bouche line is creamy, moisturizing, long-wearing, and highly pigmented. If you want a quality lipstick and don't mind spending $26 on it, these are a great pick!
Which colors are you looking forward to picking up on your next trip to Sephora?
