Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix Review, Photos, Swatches
Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix
Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix ($25.00 for 0.20 oz.) includes four mini-sized High Pigment Lip Pencils. They come in a red, metal tin (much like a mint tin), and each pencil is 0.05 oz. Full-sized pencils are $24.00 for 0.09 oz. or $266.67/oz., which makes this set worth $53.33. Sable and Winterberry seem to be exclusive to this, while Rhubarb and Pomegranate are part of the permanent range. I have reviewed a few shades previously here, and my experience with the pencils in this set are similar to ones I’ve had with full-sized, which is a good sign. All four shades were quite pigmented with creamy, glide-on textures that never dragged on the lips, but they weren’t slippery, so they didn’t slide around once applied. The wear varied from shade to shade, but they wore four hours or longer (see below). They’re comfortable to wear, as they don’t cling, and they were lightly hydrating. Bite describes the finish as “modern matte,” but they’re more satin to natural in finish–there’s a noticeable sheen.
Sable is described as a “nude.” It’s a light, rosy beige with soft, warm undertones and a light sheen. It had opaque pigmentation that went on evenly and smoothly, and over time, the color faded but didn’t pull into lip lines (often an issue with lighter shades like this). The color wore well for four and a half hours on me. See swatches of dupes / view dupes side-by-side.
Rhubarb is described as a “plum rose.” It’s a muted, medium-dark pinky-plum with a luminous finish. This shade had full color coverage, and again, it went on beautifully–no dragging, just even, smooth color. It lasted for five hours and was lightly hydrating over time. See swatches of dupes / view dupes side-by-side.
Winterberry is described as a “festive raspberry red.” It’s a berry-red with subtle, cool undertones and a luminous sheen. This shade a little more slip compared to the other three, though it still went on evenly and smoothly (and I didn’t have any feathering/bleeding over time). The color lasted for six and a half hours, and it left behind a soft stain. See swatches of dupes / view dupes side-by-side.
Pomegranate is described as a “rich red.” It’s a bright, medium red with soft, blue undertones. I can tell it’s blue based, as there is a pinkish tone to it when blended out, but it reads closer to neutral due to my coloring (so I’d expect it to be a bit cooler on cooler skin tones). It had very, very rich color payoff that glided on easily and delivered smooth, even color coverage. The color lasted for six hours and stained slightly. See swatches of dupes / view dupes side-by-side.

Have you tried the Annabelle Twistups? They are similar to these but at CAD$10 a pop (0.05g each, $200 an ounce). Not sure if their products are sold in the US but their website ships to the US.
Sorry, I haven’t!
The whole set looks fantastic and for only $25, it’s a steal!
It’s a good deal!
WOW, this looks AMAZING *HEART EYES* Classic but fresh colors and amazing performance?? And every shade looks great on you, Christine! I’m for sure getting my hands on this!
Thank you, Lydia! 🙂
I mean, STOP PUTTING HOLIDAY SETS ON MY WISH LIST LOL I still haven’t tried anything from Bite, but this looks like a great place to start!
Haha!
OMGGGGG. Is it me, or does Sable look very close to Descanso from NARS??? $25 for a set of four is amazing! I might pick this up soon! Thanks for the swatches, Christine! All four look divine on you!
Aw, thanks, Estefania!
I can honestly say my jaw dropped when I saw these swatches, and immediately placed an order for it. Thank you for the review, and as always, you look impeccable in your pictures!
Aww, thank you 😀
Thank you, Christine. I ordered this set already (from Sephora.com to Germany) but now I am happy that you rate it so good 🙂
Btw: I love your reviews, Thank you very much!
My pleasure, Chris! Enjoy your set 🙂 What else did you order?
The Hourglass Blush Palette, Dim light and Anastasia Brow wiz …
Awesome! 🙂
The first time I’ve bought an item before your review and you recommend it!!! I LOVE IT so much, i just purchased a back up.
YAYYY! 🙂
Oh this is really tempting! Good price point for a brand I’ve been curious about and a tin I can see reusing!
The tin is cute!
Yeahh! I bought this as soon as I spotted it and luuuuuuv it:)
Yay!! What’s your favorite shade from the set?
Lovely! You look so beautiful! I’m surprised how much you’re able to make these look like G on your lips…. What IS your secret? 😀
Thank you, Lotus! 🙂
Lots of water, regular exfoliation (which is achieved by swatching a lot of lip colors!), balm!
You’re welcome, Christine! I’m constantly drinking good water and great coconut water, I never drink soda or coffee, sometimes herbal tea, but my rapid dehydration rate, though I do all th steps you mentioned, minus try on many lippies, and I eat foods full of water, but I’ve not been able to retain the moisture. You’re lucky! Also, were you aware that you don’t have brown eyes? They’re actually a shade of green with the inner circle around the pupil is brown, giving the illusion its your whole eye color! I’d actually say you have a brown:hazel inner circle. It’s not totally brown or hazel, but the real eye color is a green! Fascinating, huh? 😀
I usually say my eyes are hazel, since they do have green to them. Some people have told me that my eyes look like they have leopard spots. I think they look like tree roots, LOL. I don’t really mean that in a self-deprecating way, but I see strands more than spots!
A sunflower! <3 but you definitely have cat eyes.. The entire placement of your eye and skin space is sooo different from mine that I love seeing how you place your color! Quite blessed, you are!
Ahhhh so pretty! And affordable! But I’m just gonna sit over here and wait for Bite to be released in Sweden… haha. Wish I had a friend in the US who could be my shipping service!
Aww, I wish you could get this, Tova!
They’re all gorgeous on you. Seriously. Love the eye look as well. I must have this!!
Thanks, Helen! ;D
You are gorgeous!! I just ordered this thanks for the review!!!
My pleasure, Mayra!
I really like the look of these. Shame that Bite isn’t easy to get over here, I think. I have one of their lip pencils but that was from my one and only order from Sephora. Worth another order? Not sure. I need to save all my money these days! Still, these do look nice. Now Guerlain is a different ball game altogether. At the very least I’ll be buying the lipstick from this year’s holiday collection….I can’t help myself!
Enjoy the new Guerlain lipstick 🙂 Perfect for the holidays!
NEED THIS!~
It’s a nice set!
I’m so happy you reviewed this! It’s on my list, hopefully I can hold out a few more weeks until the VIB sale!
Fingers crossed! 🙂
They couldn’t have picked 4 better shades! I can see these being flattering on a lot of people and being very versatile!
They are – it’s a nice set of colors.
Cute set. I’ve never used Bite Beauty, but the swatches and your lips look wonderful.
I really like a lot of their products – and I like that they’re more affordable (relative to high-end brands).
This set looks like a great way to try out their lip chubbies, anyway. 🙂
It is, for sure! They’re so pigmented that even the small sizes last awhile.
Stunning Christine! Love the whole look. Not sure if we can get this in UK? Do you know?
I really don’t know 🙁
So happy this got a good rating & recommendation! I just purchased from Sephora online yesterday!
Woohoo! Enjoy your new lip set!
I love Bite Beauty, it’s a bonus they’re a Canadian brand & great quality!
I feel like as Orgasm is to NARS palettes and Carbon is to MAC palettes, Pomegranate is to Bite’s lip sets. Despite already having Pomegranate (and it not being a shade that I could use up quickly), I’m really loving the other shades in this set. Rhubarb is my favorite! It’s such a lovely shade and it’d be great for work!
I can definitely see the set being a bummer if you’ve already had a set or two from Bite!
I LOVE bite beauty and own quite a few of the lipsticks but none of these pencils yet so I will definitely pick them up…I believe this set is just under 30$ in Canada
That’s not bad for Canadian pricing!
EEK!!! I just ordered these and after seeing your swatches I am even more excited to get them (Which I didn’t even think was possible 🙂
I LOVE how you do swatches, bare lips, lip color, and then a full face picture! It is SO nice to see all the different pictures and it is so informative!!!
So glad I could make you even more excited for your purchase 😀
There a lot more vibrant then they look in the stock photo’s.
Bite’s stock photos seem to always be muted to me!
Sable is stunning! Can resist this set.
Two consectutive ‘TEMPTALIA RECOMMENDS’?! I need extra strength.
Haha! 😉
Yet another lip set goes on my wishlist.. 🙂
🙂
I’ve been on the fence about these and this finally convinced me. I needed a little pick me up today.
Happy to help 🙂
I see that you bought this, Christine. Is it in stores yet, or did you buy it online? I’ve been waiting, I’m not sure for what, to buy lippies from Bite, and this set really fills the bill for me.
I bought it online! I don’t live near a Sephora, so I don’t really know what’s in stores!
Thanks, Christine. I’ll try the Sephora store first. I hate to pay that shipping since the store’s less than 10 miles away 😉
I don’t know that I’ve never not qualified for free shipping at Sephora, lol! But I think it’s because I have VIB or Flash shipping? I can’t remember now.
I think you can do a locator search though to see if a nearby store has it in stock 🙂
I used to work at Sephora–the locator searches in general are not that reliable. The database does not update quickly enough. I would always call first.
Allison, it’s in stores. I saw it last week 🙂
Thank you, Antonia. I’ll look for it.
Last year, they had the tins in the bins near the checkout, so look there if they’re not on the Bite display.
Thanks, Aline! That makes sense. That’s where I found the OCC Lip Tar minis last year 🙂
Promo pictures can be so deceiving. The colors look much better in real life pictures! I kinda want this set now. I just wish the pinky red was a bright pink instead. Still a really cute set though!
It’s a nice mix of colors 🙂
I am so glad they put out a holiday set this year. This looks so pretty and for a great price!
Me too! 🙂
rhubarb and Sable are both so so so cute! I’m deeply in love of those nude/plum shades these days as they are so wearable and a little “dressed up”. And even better, only $25 to get them. (*adding it to my Sephora shopping cart as I’m typing this. lol). Thanks for the review, Christine! You look great in Winterberry!
Nice! 🙂 Hope you love these!!
I love those pencils. I bought last year’s set, which is very very similar to this one. So I’m a little disappointed that it isn’t really different.
But I’ll probably still get it if there’s a sale… because I really do love those pencils, even if I’ve yet to finish a Rhubarb…
Good to hear they do last awhile 🙂
You’re glowing with those colors! May I ask what you’re wearing on the eyes? Your eye-shadows are giving me life!
Here you go!
THE MAKEUP LOOK
On face: Guerlain Parure Gold Foundation, Guerlain Les Voilettes Loose Powder, Chanel Jersey Blush. On eyes: Laura Mercier Rosegold, Moonlight, Amethyst, Cocoa Caviar Sticks.
Love, love that there’s a balance of variety in here! I missed out on last year’s set, but I’m sold on Sable!
Nice! 🙂
Rhubarb is one of my favorites to wear at the moment.
What blush do you like to pair with it, Jenna?
Not Jenna, but Rhubarb paired with Tarte Exposed is my go to look for Important Professional Events.
I also like it with Becca Shimmer Souffle in Fig/Opal.
Nice! 🙂 I could see Exposed pairing well with Rhubarb!
I don’t always wear blush, but when I do, I usually use Benefit Georgia (discontinued). I spend so much time trying to neutralize my skin’s redness that applying blush seems counterproductive.
Gotcha 🙂
This wasn’t on my radar but your pics can be very convincing 😉 It doesn’t hurt that the price is great too. I went and swatched them tonight and will definitely be picking this up!
Thank you, Ashley!
Hi Christine! Fantastic swatches (as usual). Just wondering how you (or any ladies on here) feel this would look on a medium tan skin tone (nc42). Thanks!
I think these should work well, actually 🙂
Rhubarb and Winterberry are so gorgeous!
I love the name “Winterberry”!
Pomegranate looks amazing on you!
Thanks, Emme!
I’ve been lusting after this since day 1 and took a look at it in sephora but I ended up buying kat von d’s liquid lipstick in underage red (not a great name..) but I think I’ll pick this up just because winterberry and rhubarb look so nice
I hope you enjoy the set, Sue!
Love the eye look here. More crease shading than usual, its flattering
Thank you!
OMG! I have enough lipstick to last me 10 years, but this set is too good to pass up. That’s about $6.25 a BITE lipstick, and even if they are smaller size, there’s so much pigment it should last a while. Thanks for the review !
They definitely should last awhile!
What a great set! I really like Rhubarb.
Rhubarb is a nice shade that isn’t too bright or light!
What a lovely set! I would love to have it, but we don’t have Bite here as far as I know, so Iäll just drool over it and do my best to forget all about it 🙂
Awwww!
This is a good value which is one of the reasons I might get it. The colours are nice as well. Injury don’t find myself drawn to pencil/stick lip products these days. 🙂
At least these twist-up 😀
Oh my, I’d get this set for Rhubarb alone! 🙂
Yay!
Christine, do you know if there are anymore sets from Bite on the way for the holidays? I saw a very large collector’s set of lipsticks last year and some that were 2-sided in a medium pack. I love this one but Rhubarb already came in a Sephora give me Lip set from last year.
Just found out from BITE on FB that they have more in store….making us wait 🙂
Yay!
I haven’t heard anything, but I usually don’t hear anything from Bite until it’s on Sephora’s website or maybe a day ahead!
Thank you, Christine, these colors are beautiful, and I’m happy to hear that the performance is, as well! This gets added to my wish list, for sure!
My pleasure, Fran!
WOW! i just went to get last years set to see if there were any duplicates and i just realised that there was a mirror on the bottom that had to be flipped around!! all this time and i never realize that there was a mirror!!
Yay for new discoveries 🙂
The colors look so similar to the kit they had last holiday season 2013.
Love that kit, was hoping this holiday set would be different.
I think there’s one repeat in there (Rhubarb) from what I’ve seen readers saying, but it’s possible the range isn’t that different (even if the names are!).
What a GREAT review!
I was curious about the size of the lip pencils and packaging, now I´m all about “Bite,TAKE MY MONEY!’:D
LOL!
They do look pretty 🙂
Have you tried these pencils before?
OMG. I’m not sure I could pull Sable off but I really want the set! It’s divine!
I think you could!
Hmm, these look gorgeous on you, and I really like the one Bite lipstick I own. But I am on the fence about these. Rhubarb would be perfect on me and I am sure I could always use Sable to lighten some other shades if it was too ghostly pink for my fair neutral to warm complexion. I am not sure about whether Winterberry or Pomegranate are too blue toned for brights I could wear. Oddly, I look best in warm lip colors– pinky browns, rusts, wines, and anything browned. Pomegranate almost looks like a slightly cool orange, which I can totally pull off. Winterberry probably won’t work. But three out of four would make it worth it.
If you could use three of the four, they definitely could work. Maybe Winterberry blotted as a stain? Or you could top with a warmer gloss.
One of my ABSOLUTE fave looks on you. ALL the colors with those EYES! You look exquisite xo
Thanks, Italia!
I want this set so badly! >_<
It's so cost-effective, and the colours are so pretty, and I *really* want to try Bite!! I hope I can get my little rogueish mitts on this!
I hope you can! xo
thank you for posting this. my niece loved the bite pencil set i got her for Christmas last year. i think i might get her this one too even though they look similar.
My pleasure, Beka 🙂
Gah! WANT. Holidays are killer for all the amazing sets! (and literally murder on my wallet LOL).
BTW Christine, LOVE the eye look you’ve got goin’ on here!! So bright and fresh, warm and illuminating, and the shape you’ve created! Magnifique!
Aw, thank you Brenda!
I thought I already commented on this. This is a nice set! All of the pencils are such pretty shades! And the total cost is $25? If so, that is highly affordable! I’ve been wanting to try Bite Beauty.
It’s a very nice way to try the brand!
