Gold
Bite Beauty Gold Creme Lip GlossBite Beauty Gold Creme Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is a bright, true gold with warm, yellow undertones and flecks of gold shimmer and sparkle. This was actually one of the less pigmented shades in the range, and this was also the exact same in texture and color as the holiday release (the box was even gold-hued like the holiday edition). It had semi-opaque pigmentation, but the gloss didn’t apply evenly so there were some areas that had less visible shimmer. This particular shade also seemed to be chocked full of shimmer/sparkle rather than a more pigmented base (the others seemed to actually tint/provide coverage beyond the shimmer). It wore well for five hours on me and was hydrating.
The Creme Lip Gloss is supposed to give a “modern, foiled lip look” with “pearlized color pay off” while softening the lips. The formula had a light-medium weight to it, which I think helped ensure that the shimmer didn’t feel gritty on the lips. It had a little tackiness after an hour of wear, but it was never a really sticky or goopy gloss on. The wear was anywhere from four to five hours, and the formula felt hydrating to me. They had a really strong, mirror-like finish that made them more wearable on their own, as it was hard to notice any imperfections in the coverage. They also worked well layered over various lipsticks (both Bite’s lipsticks as well as other brands’ formulas) for adding shine and sparkle. The gloss had a sweet, fruity scent–the same one found in other Bite lip products.

Champagne Pearl
Bite Beauty Champagne Pearl Creme Lip GlossBite Beauty Champagne Pearl Creme Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is a light-medium golden copper with warm, orange undertones and multi-colored pearl, which was dominated by gold, rose gold, and copper pearl. The gloss applied evenly and smoothly across the lips, and I felt like the shimmer spread well, too. It had good color coverage, though not quite opaque, that sat well on my lips. It was hydrating and lasted for four and a half hours on me.

Pink Pearl
Bite Beauty Pink Pearl Creme Lip GlossBite Beauty Pink Pearl Creme Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is a light-medium pink with a warmer undertone but cooler pink sparkle and shimmer. This was the sheerest of the seven shades in the line-up with semi-sheer coverage, though it applied fairly evenly so it was still wearable on its own. I think it also had the least impact when layered over other shades, as it did not have nearly as much shimmer or coverage to begin with. It wore well for four hours and was lightly hydrating.

WOW, im no tipically a lip gloss person but these are gorgeous!! I might end up getting a few?
They are really fun to wear!
Great to know Champagne Pearl works well. It looks like it could work alone or as a topper. This color will be good on me. It’s going right on my ‘buy now’ list.
Yayyy!! So glad one will work for you, AB!
I’m not that into glosses but these look very nice and different from one and other.
Yes! I like that they had some variety – even with only 7 shades!
Lovely colour selection! Appreciate that there’s something for everyone in this range!
I like how varied it was!
Yikes..I think I have to have that pink!
Pretty 😀
This is exactly the sort of thing I’d buy exclusively for staring at how pretty it is in the tube.
They have such a high gloss finish!
Rose Pearl is quite possibly going to become an HG lip gloss for me; I absolutely LOVE it! Rose, Peacock and Oyster are all on my wishlist, but I know that Rose is the most wearable with almost any look I can contrive! Still getting a few MUG Foiled Glosses, too, though, I do love VIP more than Champagne Pearl. Hopefully it will work just as fabulously as Champagne does over EL Naked Truth lipstick?
Fingers crossed VIP will do the trick 😉
Nancy, I just bought Peacock, and it is AWESOME. So pretty and so comfortable. And I pretty much never wear lip gloss, but I would if they all felt like this one.
Thanks for the reviews! I love me some shimmery gloss? You look gorgeous in them!
Thank you, Janine!
These are so facinating to me! I’m so impressed that there’s no grit to these, with the amount of sparkle in them! And add in they’re hydrating too!? Sounds lovely!
There’s just enough thickness/substance to the gloss that you really can’t feel them going on!
Champagne Pearl is tempting me!
That’s a nice one!
I wish I could get Bite Beauty without having to go through poor friends. I really like these glosses, but I guess it’s good for my wallet.
I agree! I wish they’d widen their distribution.
They all look really lovely on you Christine – especially the Champagne Pearl. I love that pearl effect that Smashbox has got going.
Aw, thank you Genevieve!
I’m loving Champagne but I think Rose might make more sense for my coloring.
Both are pretty!
Rose Pearl is stunning. LOVE
Wow, you look like an Egyptian princess in all these shades. Wish I was young enough to pull them off. Oh well, I had my time. 🙁
Yay, more glitter in lip products!
I wear mattes and creams a lot but glitter and sparkles have always been my first love when it comes to makeup.
Other thoughts:
– Bite is smart and brings back top selling limited edition products
– Great variety of colors for this collection
– Unusual color selection
– On trend, and as far as I know, one of the few brands to release some holographic/duochrome lip colors (aside from Bare Minerals)
I’ll have the Pink one. Thanks Christine !
I want Rose Pearl and Champagne Pearl they are stunning.The shimmer in these is so eye catching love them on you!
picked up Rose Pearl the other day Christine and it’s perfect for my skin tone. With my highlighter and bronzer my skin looked absolutely radiating…The rose pearl was made for dark skin…it’s gorgeous!
