Bite Beauty Rewind Lip Crayon Set
Bite Beauty Rewind Lip Crayon SetBite Beauty Rewind Lip Crayon Set ($25.00 for 0.12 oz.) includes four travel-sized, twist-up lip colors housed in a red tin. I really liked Bite’s set last year, and I think this year’s is also good and works well as a stocking stuffer or more affordable gift to give. Full-sized pencils are 0.05 oz. each, and each of these is 0.031 oz., which makes the set worth $59.52. The Matte Creme Lip Crayon formula tends to be smooth and velvety in texture with good pigmentation, long- and comfortable wear. The formula has a lemony, slightly herbal, scent but no discernible taste.
Aubergine is described as an “eggplant.” It’s a medium-dark, berry-plum with hints of red and a cooler undertone paired with a satin finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a creamy, smooth consistency that was easy to apply and didn’t tug at the lip. The color wore well for six hours and was lightly hydrating over time. This shade is part of the permanent range. The version in the set was actually more pigmented and less glossy, which resulted in a more muted colro overall, though they are similar. Estee Lauder Insolent Plum (P, $32.00) is glossier (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Exotica (P, $55.00) is warmer (95% similar).

Torte is described as a “brown-toned rose.” It’s a soft, medium-dark rosy pink with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage with a soft, smooth texture that applied evenly and was comfortable to wear over five hours. It was lightly hydrating. Estee Lauder Incensed (P, $32.00) is cooler (95% similar). KVD Beauty Double Dare (P, $19.00) is lighter, more muted (95% similar). Guerlain #31 (P, $33.00) is warmer (90% similar).

Cafe is described as a “peachy-brown nude.” It’s a light-medium, pinky-peach with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a lightly creamy consistency that applied without dragging. The formula seemed less forgiving than the other three, and it made my lips look drier as the lines were more apparent. I had some noticeable color settle into lip lines after two and a half hours orf wear, though the color wore fairly well for four hours in total. NARS Rosecliff (DC, $28.00) is glossier (95% similar). Shiseido Desert Quartz (RD124) (DC, $28.00) is lighter (95% similar). Bite Beauty Sable (DC, $24.00) is warmer (90% similar).

Coulis is described as a “raspberry red.” It’s a medium-dark, neutral-to-cool toned red with a satin finish. It had semi-opaque coverage–there was a little bit of my lip freckle still coming through–but the coverage was even. This shade lasted for six hours and left behind a stain, and it was neither drying nor hydrating. MAC Mind Control (LE, $20.00) is darker, brighter (95% similar). Hourglass Innovator (P, $32.00) is glossier (95% similar). ColourPop Blood (LE, $7.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). NARS Majella (P, $25.00) is warmer (95% similar).

I might have to get this set! I like that the finish is not aggressively matte. There’s also a good variety of colors in such a small set.
Woohoo! 😀
Nice set! I love all the colors, and the packaging is very pretty.
It is a great set!
Every shade looks so good! I’m glad none of them are too dark or too pale. I’m just not a big fan of matte shades….which seemed to be the trend this year.
Oh this review seems to be tagged in the “Eye product reviews” btw.
It’s under “Eye Products” because Makeup Palettes is a sub-category in there (that’s just where it went 8 years ago).
This might be something I buy an split as stocking stuffers for my mom and sister. My mom would love the neutral colors and I know my sister would enjoy the brights.
That is a great idea!
I’ll probably get this. I keep last year’s set in my purse because the tin is perfectly compact, and I always know I’ll have a shade that works with whatever I’m wearing. I love that Bite does these little sets each year to allow us to sample several products at a reduced price.
I agree! I’m so glad they put together another set this year!
Looks like a really nice set. I’ve always preferred lip crayons over lipstick, but I’m not sure I need these colors.
Are they colors you like or just colors you already have?
These are all so easily wearable shades. Pretty universally flattering colors, with the possible exception of Cafe, as that one is quite light.
If I had to pick between this one and that super cool atomic warhead Nars Abnormal Female one, I’d be lost! Because this one seems to be better quality overall, but that other one has THAT case and Dragon Girl!
The quality of this set is harder to beat fo rsure!
I’m on a no-buy for lippies now (have too many!) but this looks like a really nice set. I bought last year’s set and really love it
No-buy on lip colors! What’s your end date or end goal?
Until I see the next lippie I can’t resist LOL ! We’ll see…. I’ve collected a big collection in almost every color I like, so I’m hoping to make a dent in my stash before I buy another one. Lippies last a while, but I’m trying to use up my glosses before they go bad
Good call on trying to use up the glosses!! That is one item that I find recycling after a certain period of time.
Yeah! I haven’t tried mine yet. I like all of the shades in this set!
Hope you love your set 🙂
What a nice set of lip crayons. We don’t have Bite here, if we had I’d get this little collection for sure. Pretty wearable colours.
They did a great job at putting together a kit!
I bought last year’s Remix, and I really liked it. I think I’m going to buy this one too.
Awesome! Keep me posted on how you like it!
I snatched this set a few weeks ago, but haven’t worn all the colors yet. They look so different against my skin tone! I’m very pale so Aubergine is like a deep plum purple on me, and I find Torte and Cafe hard to pull off, the lighter color and satin matte finish really makes the dryness in my lips stand out 🙁
Have you tried mixing Aubergine with Torte or Cafe maybe?
No, but it’s a great idea, I’ll try it out!
This is a really handy little set of gorgeous lipsticks. And they look lovely on you Christine. Good value, with a great rating.
Thank you, Genevieve!
Plum colours always look so pretty on you.
I’ve always been interested in Bite Beauty but as far as I know, they aren’t sold in the UK 🙁
I wish they’d expand to the UK!
You can get them at Rose’s Beauty Store ( http://www.rosesbeautystore.com/product/laura-geller-so-scumptious-volume-3-set-light-2-2-2/ ), but they’re sold out! I did a big purchase at Sephora online last night, there were a few things I wanted that I couldn’t get here so I bit the bullet and ordered. Yes you have to pay shipping and customs charges ?, but I don’t think I’ll do shopping there again until next year so I figured it was worth it for me. I’ve also ordered from Beautylish.com which has free shipping to the UK for purchases over $25 and has a $10 off offer for new customers (it only has a limited selection of brands though).
Other good places in the UK to get US makeup stuff are Guru Makeup Emporium (www.gurumakeupemporium.com), Love Makeup (https://www.love-makeup.co.uk/), and sometimes Amazon and eBay altho obvs sometimes it’s more of a risk with the last two xx
Ooo! I love this set.
Me too!
I so want this. I’m just going to stuff my own stocking. You know, skip the middle man (my boyfriend).
HAHA! 😉
Torte is such a perfect, rosy pink. Too bad it’s limited edition! 🙁 This set is really great, I love that they decided to do the matte lip crayons instead of the high pigment lip pencils.
I’m so torn! I love that they put in new shades but bummed you can’t get them again later on, lol!
Last year’s set was awesome, and it looks like this year’s is no exception!
Agreed!
Love those colors on you! Fabulous! Also, maybe I missed it…what are you wearing on your eyes, this is my favorite eye look for you 🙂
The Set is calling out my name wohooooooooooooooooooooo 🙂 and on top of that , i havent tried this formula as yet 😀 😀
Torte is soooo pretty! But of course not worth getting the whole set for. At least not for me, because it does look like a nice set overall.
Bite always does a good job with holiday sets! Glad to see this reviewed well.
I purchased this set over the weekend and so far I have worn Cafe and Torte mixed together (Cafe as the center lip “highlight”). I absolutely love Bite Beauty lipsticks and this is the first of the matte pencils that I have tried. I absolutely loved them and found them to be very comfortable on the lips. I am debating purchasing a second for myself since I loved the consistency and the shades I used so far 🙂 I also love the price tag; you can get 4 that will last quite a while for a steal!
I got this set last week and I just put my review up today. Our assessments are pretty similar. My least favorite was also Café but I still really like it. It had the least moisture and enhanced my flaws the most. Due to my dark lip color I had to use two layers for opaque color and it skews much pinker on me!
Beautiful set. Too bad missed out it again this year.
I really love Torte and would like to get just that! 🙁 Are there any dupes you’d recommend closest to Torte? 🙂
All dupes for Torte are listed in the post! 🙂
How does this compare to last years Bite set? I have that one from 2014, and I love them- I would hate to pass up such a good deal, but I don’t need dupes.
It’s not quite as good if I’m remembering correctly, but it is pretty comparable 🙂
