It’s a new, permanent shade in the Matte Creme Lip Crayon formula, which is described as a “long-wearing,” hydrating, and pigmented formula. I’m a big fan of the Matte Creme Lip Crayon formula, as they are nicely pigmented, long-wearing, comfortable to wear, and apply well. Cava wasn’t quite as pigmented as other shades in the range, but it was mostly opaque overall. The texture was lightweight, thin but not dry or prone to sheering out, so it clung to lips a little more noticeably, but it was lightly hydrating while worn. It was comfortable to wear over the four and a half hours it lasted, but I had some color gather in lip lines after two and a half hours of wear. I would recommend using a primer or lip liner underneath this one if that’s bothersome, which I would expect to alleviate that issue.

I really like this color. It’s hard to find a mauve that’s cool and pale enough for me, without going too pasel or too gray. I love it on you, as well. Too bad the formula is fussy!
It could be a bit better!
Argghhhh.. knew this one would grab me. The dupes are dissimilar enough to warrant purchase. Not avail S Canada. Everything important to me on my wishlist is out of stock.. have been for weeks and months in some cases. I could truly care less about the flood of X-mas crap. Fill the darn shelves!!!!
Gahhh! I hope it becomes available – it is supposed to be, if I’m remembering correctly from Bite’s Instagram.
It’s on the Canadian Sephora website, it’s just sold out now.
Fri Oct 7th.. rec’d my email notification as it just went ‘in stock’ online today. Nabbed it 🙂
Wendy,
You DO know about the new Bite Lab that opened on Queen Street? They will find the Cava colour and make it into any finish (matt, semi, etc) that you like. I took advantage of the service (finding my perfect shade). The SA told me that many were coming to restock on some of their favourite discontinued (ie: Musk, Cava) colours. I know that you would be able to find the perfect finish in Cava that will work for you. It is a gorgeous colour!!
I didn’t know Helen. Thanks for the heads up. I’m rarely in the city anymore, but my best friend is still there and it sounds like I need to add a trip to the lab with my next visit 🙂 We did Saks together when it opened earlier this year. Now ther e is Nordies too 😀 Squeeeee
Interesting that it is not a dupe for the original cream L/S of the same name. It is pretty, though. The original Cava, imo, put lavender into a truer nude (beiger?) and the result was more unusual and less pink. This will be a good sfw shade for many.
Hopefully they add Cava back into Amuse Bouche.
They have the original Cava back on the website though not in the amuse bouche formula, just the luminous creme
and I was liking that this one is pinker.. I seem to have more in the stash with a nude bent on lavendar/mauve. Most on the pinker or lavendar side run too a shade too pale or cool for my skintone. I actually said ‘aha’ out loud when I saw this shade. Methinks I can do this one well.
I like it more than I thought I would!
Yay!
I was so sad when Cava was discontinued with the Luminous Creme line, so I’m excited for this! I’m not sure how I feel about this formula though as I haven’t tried it extensively..
It’s definitely not as creamy or as glossy as the Luminous Creme, but it’s pretty comfy for me overall!
Glad this scored well, but it’s probably a zombie shade on me
Aww!
Very pretty shade for those who can go this light! I’m just a *little* bit jelly of my fairer mu addicts out here who can, LoL!
It is a lovely shade!
What a beautiful dusky lavender-nude. <3
It is! The kind of color that you don’t see often 😀
No, it isn’t. I’m glad to see it’s permanent.
I cannot decide if I like it or not.
What’s holding you back, do you think?
I think that it Looks a Little bit grey? I am very very pale and Wonder if it will fit with my Skin tone.
Ahh, gotcha! It is the type of shade that might be too gray/cool for some.
Oooh yay I’m excited to see this color in the matte creme lip crayon formula!
Me too!
I really like this color and will likely purchase. It looks like an easy, every day lippie that I’ll use a lot.
Your eye look is gorgeous! If I could duplicate it successfully I’d buy one (or two) of the NARS palettes pronto! Lol! Hope you post additional detail about colors & application. ?
Thank you, Bonnie!
Totally in love with this whole makeup look!!! I’m sold on that NARS DI palette already!! I’ve been waiting for a new DI palette with new shades! I’m slightly disappointed this isn’t the Cava we know and love from the Luminous Crème formula. But, I still totally love it.
I’m glad you are loving it despite it not being the same as the Luminous Creme one!
i loveee shades like these. I probably would’ve bought this if i didn’t see how similar it is to CP littlestitous, which i own 😛
Yay! You have a dupe!
