Bite Beauty Sugar Flower & Rose Glace Crystal Crème Shimmer Lip Crayon Reviews & Swatches

Sugar Flower

Bite Beauty Sugar Flower Crystal Crème Shimmer Lip Crayon ($24.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with warm undertones and flecks of purple and gold pearl and larger sparkle. It had nearly opaque color coverage with a smooth, velvety consistency that made it easy to glide across and maneuver along the edges of my lips for even application. This was one of the more interesting shades in the range, as the mix of shimmer (gold and purple, mostly) made it harder to dupe in a single product. It wore well for five hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.06 oz. - $400.00 Per Ounce

The new formula is supposed to offer shimmer and bold color that's "long-wearing" and "smooth-gliding." The majority of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation in one stroke. The texture is typically smooth and velvety without feeling wet or particularly cream-like, but they don't drag as I used them for all-over color. They have more of a semi-matte to matte finish in terms of shine, but obviously they have quite a bit of shimmer ranging from fine shimmer to shimmer with slight to moderate sparkle. They did manage to keep everything feeling quite smooth, as I didn't notice the shimmer when I pressed my lips together. The formula was comfortable to wear and lasted between four and six hours on me. They had a slight, lemony scent with a very subtle, almost sweet taste (but I barely detected the taste).

They are inspired by the brand's Matte Creme Lip Crayons, which are creamy, highly-pigmented larger pencils that have more of a satin to semi-matte finish. In comparison, the Shimmer Lip Crayons have a similar glide and comfort going on my lips, but they have less creaminess and no satin sheen. They don't feel quite as hydrating as the Matte Creme Lip Crayons, and thus far, the Shimmer finish tends to wear slightly shorter in time.

Rose Glace

Bite Beauty Rose Glace Crystal Crème Shimmer Lip Crayon ($24.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It yielded nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was easy to maneuver across my lips and along the edges of my lips as well. The texture was more velvety–it glided on nicely but didn’t feel overly wet or creamy–and thin without feeling clingy. It wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating over time.
