Deconstructed Rose

I recently picked up my first ever product from lip-specialist brand BITE Beauty. I've heard lots of good things from other people online, so I made a beeline for the display in Sephora when I was in Texas a few weeks ago.


BITE is based around the use of natural ingredients that are literally 'good enough to eat' (which makes sense, considering women are estimated to eat as much as seven pounds of lipstick in their lifetime!) The products are free from parabens, sulphates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMO's and Triclosan, yet still offer high pigmentation and high performance formulas.

I ended up leaving with the 'Deconstructed Rose' Library...
A collection of 12 different shades of their lipgloss in deluxe sample sizes. It retails for $49 (around £30) so for the amount of product you get, I think it's a pretty good deal.


The packaging is stunning, and made from robust cardboard. The shade selection is really lovely - there isn't a 'bad shade' in the line-up. The formula is quite unusual. It's thicker than normal gloss, but very opaque. The darker shades have a hint of 'liquid lipstick' about them, almost like a halfway house between a liquid lipstick (like Rimmel's Apocalips) and a gloss. I really like them.


The staying power is great. They are slightly sticky, but I think it's hard to get a long-lasting gloss that isn't. They have a subtle, sweet rose scent/flavour (hence the name) which I really like too.

 L-R: One - Ten
 Above: Shade 5 on the lips
 Above: Shade 10 on the lips

Overall, I'm really happy I picked this set up and I'm sure I'll get lots of use out of it. I also got swayed by a mini dual-ended lipstick in the 'aisle of doom' (as I like to call it, before the cash registers in Sephora... I always get tempted!) The texture of the lipstick is simply gorgeous, so I'll definitely be checking out more from BITE on my next trip stateside!

If you're not heading to the states anytime soon (and have been living under a beauty rock for the past month!) Sephora now ships to the UK (HURRAH!) so you can also order them online through their website here.

  2. I have never heard of Bite before, sounds really good, I'm currently switching all my paraben filled products out for better alternatives and it's so hard to find good lip products in my opinion! :) x

  3. I love the "aisle of doom" descriptor -- thank goodness I'm not close to a Sephora these days. While living in NYC it was quite dangerous. Thanks for the deconstruction of the products -- I'm toying with venturing out of my age-old light natural lip gloss and playing with some darker pinks. This looks like it might just fit the ticket.

  24. I've heard a lot of great things about Bite Beauty, I'll definitely be checking them out if I ever get a chance to visit a Sephora! It's not often you find natural makeup in actual stores. Hopefully there will be more natural brands available on the high street in the UK soon :)

  30. I'm so glad you did a blog post on this set. I just watched the haul today featuring this and as soon as you pulled the glosses out of the package I paused the video and headed over to sephora.com to check it out. There isn't a bad color in sight! I'm especially loving 2, 3, 7, 9 & 11. Now if only they were matte...

  33. I feel like companies often put "dud" shades in as fillers so you look like you're getting more yet you'll never actually use it, but you're right in saying Bite have avoided this which is really exciting! All of the shades are gorgeous, I wish I was more of a gloss fan.

  62. I picked out a set of four bite glosses a few months ago, more neutral tones though, I love them. They stay on for quite a while too. I really want to try some of the brighter colors now.
