Bite Beauty Honeycrisp & Stinger Power Move Creamy Matte Lip Crayons Reviews & Swatches

Honeycrisp

Bite Beauty Honeycrisp Power Move Creamy Matte Lip Crayon ($24.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a brighter, medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single stroke, which applied somewhat evenly but had slight streaking visible along the edges and a small amount of product that sank into my lip lines (the latter wasn’t noticeable in person but was in the close-up photos).

The lip crayon had a lightweight, thin consistency that didn’t feel clingy and had enough slip that it glided on fluidly. It wore well for four and a half hours and was moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.05 oz. - $480.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "bold, one-swipe color" paired with a "comfortable, creamy-matte finish" that is hydrating. The pencil includes a built-in sharpener as well. There's a lightly sweetened, herbal lemon scent but no discernible taste (similar to past Bite lip products). The texture felt impossibly creamy when swatched--almost like it was melting--and definitely "buttery" was the descriptor that came to mind, but the impressive part was that it did not feel like it melted on my lips.

I was concerned that the product would be too soft and too readily applied to lips, but instead, it just skated on with rich coverage delivered in a single stroke. I felt like I didn't even have to apply a full layer across my lips (as the pencil tip doesn't cover an entire lip area) as there was enough pigmentation to cover my lips by pressing and gently rubbing them together.

As I swatched and applied each shade, I found that they were particularly flattering on as they went on smoothly, didn't emphasize lip lines or lip texture, and had even coverage. They were comfortable to wear with moderate slip, though I didn't personally experience the product feathering or bleeding on me (but keep in mind, I'm not prone to either). They lasted between four and six hours with deeper shades lasting longer and having subtle stains left behind. The formula felt lightly to moderately hydrating over time.

Stinger

Bite Beauty Stinger Power Move Creamy Matte Lip Crayon ($24.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a vivid, medium-dark coral with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging or tugging.

The texture was lightweight, creamy and smooth with a thinner feel overall, so it didn’t feel as slippery as it looked (at least initially) in photos. There was a smidgen of product that sank into my deeper lip lines but nothing I could see in person, just in the close-up photos. This shade stayed on well for five hours and felt hydrating while worn.
