Bite Beauty Mulberry/Scarlet Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo
Bite Beauty Mulberry/Scarlet Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo ($14.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a dual-ended lipstick, so there is a lipstick shade on each side. This is one of the darker sets of shades, and unfortunately, the deeper burgundy shade was problematic, as this type of shade often is (so it’s really the norm rather than the exception).
Mulberry is a medium-dark, cool-toned plum-berry with reddish tones and a luminous finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage with a slight translucency overall, so if you have more coloring to your natural lip color, this could turn redder or appear darker. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and covered evenly. On me, this shade lasted for five hours and left a stain, while the formula was hydrating. This shade is also available individually in the permanent range. MAC Marsala (DC, $21.00) is brighter (90% similar). Bite Beauty Beetroot (DC, $26.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer (90% similar). Smashbox Black Cherry (LE, $21.00) is cooler (95% similar). Bite Beauty Jam (DC, $26.00) is darker (95% similar). Bobbi Brown Grenadine (P, $29.00) is less shimmery, lighter, cooler (90% similar). Bobbi Brown Brocade (DC, $37.00) is lighter, brighter, cooler (90% similar). Tarte Hangry (P, $20.00) is darker, more muted, cooler (90% similar). Burberry Bright Plum (15) (P, $30.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Too Faced Berry Naughty (DC, $22.00) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter (90% similar). Bite Beauty Aubergine (DC, $24.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). Bite Beauty Plum (LE, $24.00) is darker (90% similar). YSL Forbidden Burgundy (12) (DC, $34.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). Sephora Hear Me Roar (08) (P, $13.00) is less shimmery, cooler, glossier (90% similar). Bite Beauty Sugared Maple (LE, $24.00) is darker (90% similar). Inglot #293 Lipstick Cream (P, $12.00) is darker, glossier (90% similar). Maybelline Plum for Me (P, $7.49) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (90% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Cabaret (146) (DC, $30.00) is more muted (85% similar). NARS Vera (P, $34.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer (85% similar). MAC Burning Love (P, $22.00) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (85% similar). Bobbi Brown Hibiscus (DC, $37.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar). Top 20 dupes listed, see the rest. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Scarlet is a medium-dark, deep red with warm undertones and a glossy finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with enough slip that it made application a pain, as the color applied unevenly. It wore for four and a half hours but feathered on me. Bite Beauty #001 (LE, $36.00) is warmer (95% similar). Bite Beauty Black Cherry (LE, $24.00) is cooler (95% similar). Bite Beauty Mulled Maple (LE, $24.00) is lighter (95% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Blow (210) (P, $30.00) is lighter (95% similar). Buxom Voodoo Spice (P, $22.00) is less glossy (90% similar). Bite Beauty Truffle (DC, $24.00)(90% similar). Sephora Malt Shake (29) (P, $8.00) is darker (90% similar). Urban Decay Shame (DC, $22.00) is brighter (90% similar). Pat McGrath Anarkissed (DC, $40.00) is darker, more muted (90% similar). Bobbi Brown Your Majesty (DC, $37.00) is more muted (90% similar). Maybelline Espresso Exposed (955) (P, $7.49) is lighter (95% similar). Bite Beauty #001 (Reformulation) (LE, $36.00) is warmer (90% similar). NARS Ingrid (P, $34.00) is darker (90% similar). MAC Tribalist (LE, $19.00) is more muted (90% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Nikita (Right) (LE, ) is lighter (90% similar). Sephora Goddess (30) (P, $13.00) is less shimmery, darker, more muted (85% similar). Urban Decay Shame (DC, $18.00) is darker, more muted (90% similar). Bite Beauty Liquorice (DC, $26.00) is darker, more muted, warmer (85% similar). Smashbox Brick Trick (P, $24.00) is darker, glossier (90% similar). Maybelline Divine Wine (P, $7.99) is lighter, less glossy (85% similar). Top 20 dupes listed, see the rest. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

As much as I loved those last 2 Bite duos, this one leaves me feeling totally meh. Scarlet has quite a few better and/or less expensive dupes. Just makes this particular duo unimpressive to me. ?
Scarlet is a disappointment for sure!
These are my favorite kind of lipstick colors, but I have so many dupes in my stash already, so I’ll skip, but they look beautiful on you
Thank you, Katherine!
Get mulberry by itself! Check!
Yay!
Love these lipstick colours – they are gorgeous, especially the Scarlet one. However, since I own Divine Wine from Maybelline, it is the perfect dupe. Much less expensive and a far better rating. Both colours really suit you Christine.
They are lovely! I just wish Scarlet performed better 🙁
Love Mulberry. Looks like there’s plenty of dupes.
Very true – plenty of dupes!
So often when I see a lipstick I really love, Rebel is a dupe. I must say, Thank you MAC for Rebel! Going to put it on and walk the dog now.
That said, Mulberry is beautiful, so is Scarlett, but fethering is something I can do without.
Rebel is such a great shade!
I really like Mulberry, but have a number of the dupes and MJ Cabaret has been on my wishlist forever too.
Seems like a skip 🙂
Mulberry is beautiful, shame that Scarlet is so messy! I have a dupe in Bite Beauty in Aubergine so I’ll give this a miss I think!
Scarlet is SO slippery!
Sexy!
They are rich shades!
