Bite Beauty Maple Matte Creme Lipsticks
Bite Beauty Braised Maple Matte Creme Lipstick ($28.00 CDN for 0.15 oz.) is a lightly brightened, medium-dark brick red with warm, orange undertones and a glossy sheen. It had rich, opaque coverage with a light-medium thick consistency that went on smoothly and evenly. The color lasted for seven and a half hours, was hydrating, and left a stain behind. Really, the only downside is the fact that isn’t at all matte. NARS Golshan (P, $25.00) is lighter, less glossy. Make Up For Ever #44 (P, $19.00) is less glossy. NARS Olivia (P, $32.00) is darker.

NARS VIP Red (P, $26.00) is darker, less glossy. Kat Von D Santa Sangre (P, $20.00) is less glossy. Urban Decay Temper (P, $22.00) is lighter, less glossy.

FORMULA SUMMARY | Bite Beauty Maple Matte Creme Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.15 oz.) is supposed to leave a “velvet, soft focus finish” with “highly pigmented, moisturizing wearable color” that is also “longwearing.” If you’re not a fan of mattes, don’t fret, these aren’t really matte (and if you’re a fan of matte, you might want to keep looking). There are five shades, and all of them have a satin or glossier finish (two are pretty glossy). The glossier the shade, the more poorly it applied with streaky, uneven coverage that was prone to feathering along the edges of the natural lip, while the more satiny shades were more pigmented with more even application and longer, better wear. On me, I found the formula to be lightly to moderately hydrating with wear ranging between four and seven hours. The formula has a sweet, maple scent with a very subtle, almost sweet taste. These are exclusive to Canada.
P.S. — Big thanks to Julie over at Swatch & Review for helping me buy these! 🙂

Those don’t matte in the pictures.
Yeah, that’s really the big downside to these! I think I mentioned it in my review, but I’ll double check.
Candied Maple is my favorite for sure!
Yay!
I see you’re wearing MUFE’s new foundation on your face! Will you be reviewing it? I’m excited to see what your impressions are because I’m almost out of my current foundation and very interested in MUFE’s new foundation.
I’m not sure, sorry!
Hi Christine,
FYI The pics for braised are labeled warmed…
love the site.
It is Braised Maple! The captions didn’t replace, but the image files (so the photos shown) were always of Braised Maple. Thanks for letting me know – fixed now. Sorry for the trouble!
These are just lovely – especially Braised Maple! I’m so happy for the Canadian ladies to get their own LE line, since they get excluded from so many products, but I am a little bit jealous!
Hopefully one of the dupes might work if there is a shade you’re into! 🙂
OMG, look at your eyes! The lips are gorgeous too!
Thanks, Tammy!
Wait: is that first lip color warmed maple or braised maple? The photo says warmed maple but the gloss over says braised maple.

Photos say “Warmed Maple”, just a heads up.

You accidentally called the first lipstick “Warmed Maple” (I think it’s Braised?) in the image captions, just a heads up!
Confirmed now: I must have Candied Maple. Debating Braised Maple as well. Sooo pretty.

Ah ha ha. The dupe list for Braised Maple Rasa life a who’s who of my own lipstick collection.
Maybe I don’t need to sell my soul to Canadian slavers for it….? But maple scent…
*reads like
(Rasa life? Really, phone? )
Maple scent… was hard to resist 🙁
Matte?!?!?!
Bite needs to rethink the term “matte” for sure.
Well, good to know that Mulled Maple is the same as Black Cherry. I was eyeing Braised Maple, but I already have the dupe NARS Golshan, and I’m probably going to get the other dupe NARS VIP Red. Hey, the text says “Braised Maple”, but the caption on the picture says “Warmed Maple”
Yep! They are one and the same.
Thanks for letting me know – fixed now. Sorry for the trouble!
Weird question but are these magnetic like the hand cut ones?
I also love your eye look (it works really well with these reds) and I hope it means the Cocoa Mirage quad will be getting a review. I’ve been eyeing it for ages now and this review convinced me that I need Braised Maple so what’s a budget? lol
Just regular, like their Luminous Creme ones!
I really love the first one, but I’m trying to figure out if it’s Braised or Warmed, because there seems to be both names for the same shade? Either way, I will go for a dupe of it since I’m not in Canada, or anywhere close, LoL! It actually reminds me of a more matte, tinge warmer version on MAC VG1?
I could kind of see a resemblance to VGI!
Definitely not matte but I might have to pick up Braised Maple! It’s nice to have a Canadian exclusive for once :p
Enjoy it 😀
How do all of these look good on you?! They totally do!
Thank you, Tiffany!
Cute pin!
🙂
🙂
You have it as “warmed” maple instead of “braised” maple.

Aw, I love your little Canada pin! Candied Maple is the only one I’m really into, which is good because it seems easily duped and I can’t get it anyway.
Julie included it with the lipsticks she mailed to me, and I was like, “Well, I think I know what I’ll be wearing in these photos!!”
I think you mislabeled “braised maple” as “warmed maple” in the swatches.
Thanks! Fixed. Sorry for my horrible mistake!
I love that you wore Canadian Maple Leaf pin. Adorable!
😀
Aw, loving the Canada pin in the photos, Christine! Super glad to see you were able to get these to review, too! They are bound to remain my favorite lipsticks of the year simply for the maple scent alone. 😀
Me too!! I love maple-scented things!
These are beautiful but the important drawback for me (and maybe other people) is that they’re not matte. That’s what’s really disappointing for me 🙁
I can TOTALLY see that being a deal-breaker. Everything is right on EXCEPT the finish, which was the point of the lipstick 🙁
I am so glad that they aren’t actually matte as my lips can’t handle matte. But it is frustrating that they misnamed them and may end up confusing and disappointing people.
Is the first photo the Warmed Maple or the Braised Maple? The captions say Warmed Maple but it’s called Braised Maple elsewhere.

The first lipstick is labeled differently in the pictures than the review, just a heads up. Braised Maple/Warmed Maple looks gorgeous on you though, whichever shade it is! 🙂

Your pictures of braised maple are incorrectly labeled as warmed maple.

Awww…thx for wearing our Canadian maple leaf on your shirt 🙂
It seemed fitting! But the thanks goes to Julie who played personal shopper and included a pin to boot!
I’m confused about braised vs warmed maple. Which one is reviewed & swatched here? Thanks!

Sorry I was the 600th or so person who pointed it out! You are very gracious!
By the way, I’ve been a silent member but I read your blog daily and it is my makeup bible!!
Thank you, Florence!! xo
These look fantaaaastic on you! Definitely super cool of Bite to do this for Canada. I’m not usually one for lip products, but Bite is really impressing me, so I might try something from them soon! Also, good job fielding all of the braised/warmed questions 😛 You’re always so helpful!
Aw, thank you Drea! 🙂
Would Braised Maple be a good dupe for Mac X-treme? I think they discontinued X-treme.
I don’t think I have that 🙁
These are totally stunning colours – so very autumn. I love Mulled Maple and Braised Maple the best. Such glorious colours. They look divine on you Christine. We don’t have ANYTHING like this in Australia.
Maybe one day, they’ll have an exclusive for Australia 🙂
Aww wow ..I’m about to take a trip to Canada for those first two! OMG your eyes look amazing. I noticed Cocoa Mirage on the TF early Fall stuff. Its not LE is it?
Thank you, Nicole!
Cocoa Mirage was featured in the A/W ’15 look but has been a permanent item for awhile 🙂
That Braised Maple! though it is a bit odd to see a matte lipstick a bit glossy..
I don’t know who swatched/tested this and said “Yep, that’s matte!”
Shame they are too dark for my liking because the formula looks great and there was plenty of them at my local Sephora.
Got the opal lipstick instead
Happy you snagged the lipstick! It’s a nice one.
Like a few have already said, these all look amazing on you. I surprisingly have not picked up any for myself (just for my US friends!)
Great review as always 🙂
Thank you, Julie! 🙂
And thank you again!!
I really like Braised Maple. I have NARS Olivia though, or I would have been very jealous of all you Canadians!
Yay for dupes 😀
