This is the limited edition shade released for August, which is (was?) still available when I started writing the review. Every month, I keep hoping Bite will release something really unique or more interesting, but this shade ended up being fairly dupable. I like Bite’s Creme Deluxe formula, but for hydration, I prefere their Luminous Creme formula. The Creme Deluxe formula can be more satin-like in finish with less of a glossy sheen with a thinner consistency overall. This month’s shade had rich, opaque color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly without tugging on the lips. It wore well for six hours and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.
