Bite Beauty Agave Lip Balm ($18.00 for 0.15 oz.) is supposed to be a hydrating, restorative lip balm that comes in a twist-up tube. The texture was firmer in the tube, and there was some tugging until the balm started to melt against my lips. I also went through a tube in three weeks–an entire tube!–as it seemed to wear down quickly. The original Lip Mask lasts all night for me, but the Lip Balm only stayed on for two hours, tops. It felt more like a film of product on the lips than something imparting real moisture or nourishment to my lips.

While I’m a huge fan of the brand’s original Agave Lip Mask, this fell short for me. It just did not seem to keep my lips hydrated or restored; my lips felt dry and never seemed in good condition during the three weeks I used this for. As soon as I stopped using it, within a few days of going back to my normal routine (Jack Black Lip Balm during the day, Clarins Lip Balm at night unless it was a lip-swatching-bonanza kind of day, then Bite’s Agave Lip Mask), and my lips felt and looked so much better.

Bite Beauty Sugar Lip Scrub ($18.00 for 0.26 oz.) is supposed to use a mix of “raw brown sugar, pineapple enzymes and exotic oils” to “clean, exfoliate, and condition lips.” It was esay to apply to the lips, as I just took a bit on a clean spatula and patted it onto lips, added water (which made it milky and thinned out the consistency), and it removed fairly easily.

The sugar granules were large, and they did not seem particularly plentiful–I felt like there was more of the thicker, syrupy base. I didn’t feel like it exfoliated well, and since the oils and the like are only on for a minute or so, they didn’t leave my lips feeling hydrated either. There was also some bitter taste afterward that was unpleasant (though it smelled like sugar and vanilla in the pot). I would always have to go back to actually exfoliate my lips, either with another lip scrub or even just using a hand towel. It was more effective to rub the excess skin off my lips with my fingertip than it was using this scrub.
