This is the last and final shade of Bite Beauty’s year-long limited edition lipstick releases. It’s currently sold out, but maybe we’ll get lucky and get another restock (all the other shades are currently available). The Creme Deluxe formula is described as hydrating and pigmented, though I don’t notice much of a quality difference compared to this formula and their standard (and cheaper) Luminous Creme formula other than in finish (the latter is glossier and a little thicker as a result). December’s shade had mostly opaque color payoff with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that applied color evenly and was comfortable to wear. It lasted for six hours on me and left behind a slight stain, while the formula was lightly hydrating.

I guess I’m having trouble with the new design of the website, I can’t find the info about what eye shadow you are wearing. At any rate, the look is gorgeous and I’m glad I ordered this one!

Yeah! I snagged this one and have been waiting for your review to open it because I feel bad returning used things (unless they are just really bad). It’s pretty! I’d like to see something lighter from this line. I’m coming up with too many reds and deep shades!

It’s pretty and very festive, but dupe-able. For 2016, I hope they come out with some more unique colors, maybe some glosses or lippies in Panetone colors.

I haven’t heard anything yet, but I bet they will continue. The lipsticks are selling out every month, and it’s a way to keep BITE on people’s radar every month. I would love to see them come out with some more unique shades, like another BITE Opal , or take another stab at pastel glosses.

I love the color but can’t decide if I should keep it. On me it looks just like Urban Decay’s Catfight, which is way cheaper! Decisions…

Swoon, am in love! I love the pinky-red. I have Clinique Cherry Pop and #009 but this is the perfect pink-red, none of the dupes match this closely enough for me. Very tempted to get this if it’s sold again!
