Demi-Glace
Bite Beauty Demi-Glace Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.25 fl. oz.) is a subdued, medium-dark plummy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and easily spread across the lips for even, opaque coverage. There was a smidgen of color that pulled into my deeper lip lines but the shinier finish helped minimize how noticeable that was. The lip color stayed on well for five hours and was moisturizing over time.
The Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick is supposed to be “moisture-rich, high-pigment” in a “liquified” consistency that has a “creamy, comfortable application.” It’s a lightweight, fluid consistency that was neither runny nor thick on the lips. It does not dry down and feels mostly like a liquid-form of a lipstick (and not so much like a gloss). The majority of the range was incredibly pigmented and spread evenly across the lips. Some shades had a bit of color that sat in my lip lines, which was noticeable from a normal viewing distance with a few but not all. It had a lightly tacky feel on the lips, which helped to adhere as none of the shades I have tested have feathered on me. The formula was lightly hydrating, wore for four to seven hours, and had a light, herbal, lemony scent but no discernible taste.
If you’ve been following Bite for awhile, you might remember the Cashmere Lip Creams from a few years ago, which were also a liquid formula. Unfortunately, I had a couple leak on me and ended up tossing all of them out of fear, so I couldn’t do a true comparison, but from my memory, it was slightly thicker and less tacky while both had a more natural shine after initial application.

Candied
Bite Beauty Candied Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.25 fl. oz.) is a vibrant, medium pinky-red with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. It was intensely pigmented with a very smooth, fluid, and cream-like texture that wasn’t too thin or too thick, so it spread well and went on evenly. There was a light tackiness that helped ensure the color stayed in place but was still comfortable to wear. This shade wore well for five and a half hours, left a stain behind, and was hydrating.

Flambé
Bite Beauty Flambé Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.25 fl. oz.) is a vibrant, medium orange with warm, red undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer with a smooth consistency that was lightweight, not too thin or too thick, and was lightly tacky overall. I noticed that this particular shade was less pigmented and looked more translucent on the lips compared to others–more jelly-like than a true cream. On me, I was able to get five hours of wear out of this shade, and there was a subtle stain left behind, while the formula felt moisturizing.

Ooh, Demi-Glace is so pretty on you, Christine. I don’t own any Bite products yet…this one might motivate me to go shopping!
Aw, thank you so much, Seraphine!
Candied is really pretty. But I do have dupes. 😉
Thank goodness for dupes 😀 Money saved!
All I have is pure love for these shades! Each is a winner, really. My personal favorite is Demi-Glace. It’s just such a rich, almost 90’s plum-brown that is perfection for the cooler season!
Candied is also calling to me, it’s so beautifully plush! And that color is very sexy, schmexy, too!
I love these ones, too, Nancy!
I’m really digging Flambe! Your jewelry also pairs really nicely with it, and makes the shade look almost like it has a golden undertone. (At least, according to my computer screen. :P)
Thank you so much 😀
Demi Glace is my fave here!
Great pick, Katherine!
Yes. Just yes. Keep me out of Sephora! The only save will be if I don’t like the formula.
LOL! I will be curious to see if the formula is up your alley or not.
All are so lovely, Demi-Glace and Candied are lovely. I’m not sure I can wear Demi-Glace is a shade I can wear but it might have just enough plum that I can pull it off.
Fingers crossed that Demi-Glace might just work for you, Erin!
All three of these are amazing.
Agreed!
I’m always attracted to colors like Demi-glace, but they always look too brown on me. I’m surprised Colour Pop’s Toolips isn’t listed as a dupe. Candied and Flambe are gorgeous, but I’ll have to try out the three I got today before I get anymore!
The finish is probably part of it 🙂
I had received Demi-Glacé to test out and I don’t know if I got a bad batch, but mine was extremely patchy. I had to layer it over a lipstick just to get it to look good.
Oh, no!!
Since you have it, maybe try swirling/moving around the applicator around in the tube to see if for some reason pigment settled?
Hi Christine,
Just one curiosity, do you buy all the makeup you review or the companies send you samples?
I love your site and it is very helpful too.
Thank you!
Whether a product is purchased or provided as a press sample, it is disclosed at the top of the post!
For example, this post says “Purchased.”
OMG…I am always so excited to see your photos and read your comments about each product, I never noticed that detail, but thank you to clarify .I am VIB Rouge at Sephora and platinum at ULTA and know exactly how expensive makeup can cost.
It was just a curiosity. : )
No problem, Lucia! 🙂
It’s a totally mixed bag – I purchase a lot but I do receive some as well, and I’m pretty good about putting it at the top – if it’s ever not there, let me know and I’ll add it (would be a mistake).
