This is an exclusive shade for Canada, which is inspired by Toronto. The consistency was creamy, light-medium in weight, and clings to the lips without feeling dry/uncomfortable, but the wear was fantastic–over six hours and was still going strong. What I like about the formula is how smooth it looks on the lips; it doesn’t emphasize my lip lines or gather in them, so the end result is very smooth, voluminous, and even. The only area of improvement is that it’s only slightly hydrating, but it’s comfortable to wear overall. If you like other shades from the Amuse Bouche formula, this is definitely consistent with the range.
Big thanks to Julie for letting me use her as a personal shopper 🙂

The poor Canadians miss out on so many products, nice to see there’s a shade just for them. What is that blush you are wearing? It goes so well with the lipstick
Kevyn Aucoin Dolline!
WE DO! There are so many brands that sell in Canada but we miss about 50% of these LE launches with them.
This shade screams the Canadian flag red to me. lol
I love to see products get A+ reviews! 🙂
Me too!
Rats – I wish this were a better colour for me, for, having grown up in TO, I’d love a lipstick named in its honour (though I do have to correct the information – the GTA refers to a much larger are than Toronto proper…..it spreads to include cities/municipalities like Burlington in the West, and quite a distance north and east and is about 5 times larger than Toronto, the city.
Oh, Bite specifically said it was inspired by Toronto when they announced the shade, though I know GTA stands for Greater Toronto Area 🙂
I don’t think I could wear it either with how bright it is, it would glow on my pale skin tone. 😉
GTA for me includes Mississauga/Etobicoke as well because I’ve commuted for so long as soon as you pass Milton it’s like commuter hell. lol
Being a dumb statie, I had to UDict this and scroll down, bec. I could not for the life of me think what that had to do with grand theft auto! Duh and double duh. Hail, Canada. Nice shade.
Ooooh it’s so pretty on you! I have yet to pick this up for myself but after your review I may have to. (always happy to be your Canadian connection!)
Thanks again, Julie 🙂
Even though I have similar shades with CP Cozy and Maybelline Rose Rush, I cannot help but state the obvious: this GTA shade is PERFECTION!! It just looks ultra summery, yet uber sophisticated as well! ?
It is a pretty one!
This lipstick is really lovely on you Christine. So bright and cheery. I am also loving the eye shadow look. I am hoping you will be doing a look with the Amazon palette from Makeup Atelier as I am desperate for more green shadows. I have a real weakness for them and have so few good ones in my collection. Thank you for all the hard work that you do.
Thank you, Deborah! 😀
Gorgeous! Now bring it worldwide. Anything this good deserves to be worldwide and permanent collection.
I do think there are some close dupes within the existing range, so you could always go for one of those!
Ok, I don’t need this. But I need this.
Aww!
That is a beautiful orangey red lipstick. Love the colour.
It is a stunning shade!
First thing: you look absolutely beautiful. Everything about this look is perfection.
The last thing I need in the world is another warm red, but this looks gorgeous and I am really in love with the Amuse Bouche formula, from what I’ve experienced. Must. Resist. Lipstick…
Thank you, Kate! 🙂
You can resist!!
Not a color which would work well on me, but this is stunning! 🙂
It’s a bold one!
Being born in Toronto, and having lived there, and moving back there for school soon. I feel like I need this :P. Plus the fact that warm reds look amazing on my warm skin. Hmm!!!
Woohoo! 🙂
Very pretty! Glad I have a couple dupes since it’s exclusive to Canada.
Phew!
Yep, love it 😀 Such a nice fiery shade.
Yay!
OMG I wasn’t expecting to see this reviewed at all! As a Toronto-nian, YAY and thank you 🙂 Esp For your dedication!
No problem!
Love this! I’ve been wanting to try the Bite lipsticks forever, and as a Toronto girl with similar colouring to you, this is obviously going to be my gateway into the collection. Thanks for the review Christine, the colour looks gorgeous on you!
Happy to share, Mikaela! 🙂
A great bold shade. Canadians are so lucky! 🙂
They are 🙂
I like it but its not for me!
Maybe next one 🙂
